Help with organizing Waves plugins (waveshell) within Live 9.2 browser on Mac

[BlakeHeartsMusic]

I'm sure there are multiple posts about this, but I could not find one that specifically addressed my situation. I've made custom plugins folder with vst aliases so that I can streamline my Live workflow so that it is similar to other DAWs like Logic/ Protools. I have all of my plugins organized in categories (Dynamics, EQ, Reverb etc), but I want to put some of the Waves plugins that I own in there as well. Is there a way to create alias files for specific Waves plugins (for example, I'd like to place an alias of RVerb in my folder of reverb plugs).

I'm on Mac OS 10.9.5, and I've seen some people mention PC solutions with a waveshell to vst tool, but I'm not aware if this is the solution on mac, or if there is a way to go into the nested waveshell. I'd really appreciate any help. Thanks.

Unfortunately they come all bundled in the same file so you cannot organize them using this method.

Maybe it will benefit you best to contact Waves direct for a solution

Yeah, e-mail to Waves support, chances are that they have a solution ready.

Thanks, one of the pitfalls of legitimate plugin purchases, I'm sure the pirates out there can do this in a second. I'll have to see if I have some WUPs active, if not they won't want to hear from me

Depends on what you ask. Usually they do not refuse to help even with no WUP active.
