I just realized that it would actually work. I didn't understand that the project file would point to the links in the VST directory, which could link to the actual VST's wherever the current user was storing them. I don't love the lack of elegance, but it would be effective nonetheless. My sugges

John not necessarily true imho. In another email I put in my 2 cents about this. Wouldn't an OS check be sufficient to determine how things get linked together? From: John Serafino [mailto:lzrbl...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, February 13, 2013 3:50 AM To: Dave Peterson; lmms-devel@lists.source

I am no expert here, but paths in windows are handled differently then on linux. I think the best way would to be an os check and if the os is windows link the way windows recognizes them otherwise if its linux or mac link them the way they are supposed to be if that makes any sense. -Original

Actually, symlinks take up *very* little space. The biggest problem with that, IMO, is that it sticks us with another system that is not friendly to project portability and sharing. On Tue, Feb 12, 2013 at 8:19 PM, Dave Peterson wrote: > I'll chime in with a different viewpoint. I do alot of m

I'll chime in with a different viewpoint. I do alot of my composition while traveling so use a netbook with limited disk space. I'd much prefer not to be forced to install my VSTs in multiple places on my machine if that could be helped. Why not simply make a config option for locating the

Okay, I will check for older versions, I am not sure if its a good idea to mix VST effects and VSTi inside one common folder, but maybe it should be not problem if you open VSTi from sub-floders. -Mike On Wed, Feb 13, 2013 at 12:19 AM, John Serafino wrote: > Hooray! We need this in order to be

Hi, I think it would be good to agree on a general way how those relative paths should be handled (If this is not done already). I would say its not good idea e.g. to search for VST plugins in more common folders, to avoid version conflicts, but maybe someone has better idea? I pushed test commit
