[spanktron]

Answer to my Question can be found here: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=244614
So consider this thread "old news"


As the title suggests ,

On Live 10 i have a folder which has subfolders with Aliases divided in groups after Category of use.

Live 11 however, i choose "custom folder" , show Live the thread but they dont show up in the Browser .

Anyone knows what might be the issue?

Take the time to install things correctly so all your plugins are in a common folder. Makes everything much easier and no need for all this shortcut/symlink complexity.

Taking the time to install things correctly doesn't enable organizing plugins into categories like a shortcut folder does, but thanks for the condescending contribution.

Okay. Installing things in an organized way would prevent problems like this, yes. I agree in that regard.

But when shortcuts work, which method is ‘easier’ ? Definitely the shortcuts. Shortcuts mean not worrying about where to install things, no modification, no risking breaking things, and no disdain for companies who seem to make things difficult (as it seems you’ve brought up on occasion). On top of that you get way more flexibility with organization. Way way easier.

Though, vst3 seems to do things easiest by maintaining a standard.

I don`t understand how this is relevant to my question. The Plugins are installed beautifully and work Wonderfully.
How exactly will "plugins in a common folder" help with what i am trying to achieve?

No we don't, we don't tolerate abusive behavior here so keep it civil.

Of course you do because that's how kids behave when they don't like what they hear

The middle finger is for people who chime in with no solutions, just snarky, self-serving bullshit. If you don't have anything constructive to add other than "you should do things like I do" than keep your pointless opinions to yourself, "jestermgee".

I’d say the same thing there “TheCoil”. At least I made a suggestion that IF you take time initially to install things carefully to a dedicated folder you never have to worry about these things, all you did was throw your rattle out the pram. Don’t like my suggestion, why make childish comments urself?

Seems like there are way too many people, installing plugins anywhere, and expect Ableton to see and scan them. They really should take more care how/where plugins ar installed, basic file management.

Careful, making a suggestion to do things correctly first time tends to get some kids worked up. Guess this is the difference between the experienced users that learned this and don't have problems at the moment and those that have to roll back or wait for another update. Prob is, no one these days want's to hear about suggestions on how to keep things tidy to avoid potential issues like this occurring.

Hey that’s all that’s left round here, is dinosaurs and the kids that don’t listen.

Maybe a revamp of the forum would shake things up, times have changed a bit since the telegraph.
