Reopen plugins on session opening

Post by fermp » Sat Dec 31, 2022 4:06 pm

Hi all,

I'm running Live 11.2.6 on macOs 10.13.6.

After saving a session with some plugin windows open and then closing Live, is there a way to have those plugin windows to open in the same spot as they were when I open that session again?

Right now the behaviour is that after reopening the session, none of the plugin windows that were opened when I saved the project would open. For a mixing session, where I have several spectrum analyzers, imaging plugins, stereo analyzers, etc. opened at all time in a second window having to reopen all of those and resize and place their windows in my second screen is an inconvenience.

I've tried all the Plug-in Windows setting combinations under Preferences, and the behaviour is the same for any of those.

I've tried searching about this topic, but the only thing I've found is this old post with no offered solution: https://gearspace.com/board/music-compu ... ost9836399

Thanks.

Moved this to the FW forum as it would definitely be a handy improvement.

+100 for this

Just in the process of migrating from Studio One to Ableton for mixing and this is a bit maddening.

(combined with the fact that you can't show/hide a VST plugin from Push 3)
