| Summary | 0008423: Ardour VST3 support should honour VST3_PATH | ||||
| Description | Tested with Ardour 6.3-95-g751db481a6 Ardour should also look for VST3 plugins in VST3_PATH. Indeed, the VST3 specs says, for Linux > On the Linux platform, the host application expects VST 3 plug-ins to be located in: > and then list some directories. https://steinbergmedia.github.io/vst3_doc/vstinterfaces/vst3loc.html But reading it, I don't see anything prohibiting for having extra path to look for, that would have the lowest priority, and that could be specified by VST3_PATH like it is done with LXVST_PATH and LV2_PATH. Even if it is only for the first run. The use case I'm looking at is Flatpak, but this solution is nothing specific to it. | ||||

Example of apps (that I tried) that supports VST3_PATH on Linux: - Carla - BitwigStudio |
|
|
I stand corrected, BitwigStudio doesn't support it. But they support adding custom path (and I hadn't cleaned the settings when re-testing) BTW filed an issue with the SDK https://github.com/steinbergmedia/vst3sdk/issues/67 |
|
|
It is now possible to set a custom path since 6.5 |
