Александр Кулаев Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 (edited) Please add the ability to search for FX plugins and VST instruments by name and to the manufacturer at the time of creating its own menu in the Plugin Manager.. This will greatly facilitate the search time if there are a lot of plugins. Edited January 23, 2023 by Александр Кулаев Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Variorum Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Can't you do that with the search box in the Browser window? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

User 905133 Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 See "Using the Plug-in Browser" in the online documentation (G. Search Filter). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Александр Кулаев Posted January 23, 2023 Author Share Posted January 23, 2023 I need the search field at the time of creating my own effects and tools menu in the Plugin Manager, and not after I am already working in the project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Variorum Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Ahhh... Can't help you there. Do you need to search for existing plug-ins (i.e. in the Plug-in Categories or Registered Plug-ins lists), or do you want to search for plug-ins within the Plug-in Menu Layout that you're working on?

Александр Кулаев Posted January 23, 2023 Author Share Posted January 23, 2023 (edited) Yes, in the plugin categories. In order not to scroll through a very long list of names of all the effects available in the list. It would be even more convenient to be able to sort immediately by manufacturer at the time of creating your own menu.

Variorum Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 (edited) That'll have to be added by the Devs, but I'm not sure it would be high on their priority list... The .pgl files that are created by the Plug-in Manager are just .xml files, so it wouldn't be too difficult to write a substitute editor if someone already had code that pulls the plug-in data from the registry (ahem, @scook ?) BTW, I 've found that organizing plugins directly in the Plugin Browser to be a lot easier than using the Plugin Editor. Edited January 23, 2023 by Variorum Mention the Plugin Browser features 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not going to write a free editor to complete with his product. (FWIW, it's on sale this month) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it would be a good idea to have a forum topic that listed third-party products like this. Technically it would be advertising, but it would be helpful for Bandlab users to be aware of them. If that isn't possible, I'd be happy to add a page to my site to promote them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
