How do I reset list of plugins that won't load?

[purplepat69]

I set a very generic folder as a VSTi folder for MX10 to look for things to load. Unfortunately, it identified hundreds of non-plugin related files as being unable to load...regular Windows type stuff, etc.

I have since removed that folder from the list of folders to be scanned, and re-scanned everything, but the list of unable to load files still identifies everything it failed to load from the generic folder. I'd like to completely clear this list out and start fresh from there to see if there is anything I want that really isn't loading. How do I clear/reset this list?

Hi,

Which list? The list in File Menu > Plug-In Manager?

Yes, under Categories - Unable to Load

Hi,

You could edit or delete this file:

C:\ProgramData\Acoustica\Mixcraft\nonPluginDLLs.ini

That appears to be the correct file. I deleted it and reran MX10. Funny thing is...the program still lists the 500+ files as unloadable, while the list I deleted has been regenerated, but with a far smaller population and those all appear to be legitimate plugin-type files. So within the Mixcraft program itself, I see no change.

Apparently, I also had to delete the config file VSTIgnore7 in that same directory. I deleted this file (which showed all the system DLLs that were clogging up my Unable to Load list). I also once again deleted the nonPluginDLLs config file, even though it no longer showed any of the offenders in the other config file. When I restarted Mixcraft, it rescanned my plugins. Now I only show 24 items that were unable to load, instead of 544.
