Hi Noel, Would it be possible to implement a 'replace plugin' dialog for missing plugin IDs? So that in the event that automatic fixup fails there is a mechanism by which the user can select a replacement plugin to load in place of the missing plugin. I'm thinking specifically for VST2 plugins. I've had situations where the same plugin .dll leads to a different UUID on another machine, meaning it cannot be loaded. I'm assuming this is related to the discussion above. I've also had the situation where I've been unable to find the exact same version of a plugin used in an old project where but a later version (with bug fixes only) was available & these also have different UUIDs. Not sure if the UUIDs include a hash of the file or if this is still related to the 8.3 name issue. My thinking is that if a plugin has the same parameter layout & binary blob format then is should be able to load the project using that plugin & if it works, then this version of the project can be saved using the new UUID format avoiding the problem in the future. In fact even if the replacement failed & led to a crash, I'd still be happy that I could at least try, rather than having to redo all the work from scratch.
