Folder issues and plugins not loading

Post by Oran » Fri May 13, 2022 8:36 pm

Strange issue I've never encountered..

I opened Ableton to find my search panel had been reset and had none of my folders. I've added my VST folder back but when I press the folder of the plugin I want to load all I get is 'Contents', which when opened takes me to various other folders and eventually to a dead end.

I've tried re scanning and loading up old projects etc. My projects play perfectly and there are no plugins missing, but I can't load any plugins..

Just updated to latest OS and Ableton version and my problem was not resolved

What do you mean exactly by search panel?
What folders are missing and what folders are still there?
I've added my VST folder back
How did you do that?
The only way to get the plugins folders to show in Live's browser is by the settings on the Plugin page in Preferences.
You cannot drag some folder into Places for example.

It would be helpful if you tell us what those version numbers are.
Always mention which OS you're using and its version. Same for Ableton Live (Lite/Intro/Standard/Suite) and its version.
