Sonar with a lot of plugins = invisible plugins

[elmo]

I use Sonar 3.1 and a LOT of plugins, some dxi,some
vsti wrapped thru directixer. When i try to insert a new dxi in my project, found that a great number of them are not there. Then i open the plugin manager AND EVERY PLUG IS THERE no excluded, no problem.
I suspect of a "secret INI setting that limit the
number of dx that sonar read from registry, but i can´t found it in the net. I´m sure directixer is
not the problem. Can a good guy help me?

I had the same problem some time ago. I got some help from cakewalk tech support.

There is a registry entry under hkey_users/software/cakewalk/excludedplugins that you have to delete.

Before messing with your registry I suggest that you contact tech support first.

I also have this problem and tried a few things to no avail, this is the first time I heard about the problem in the registry. Must try that. They have told me different things to try in the past but never that. Thanks for the tip

Do we delete the whole excluded plugins folder?

[elmo]

I do it, delete the whole excluded plugin entry
(saved before). Nothing happens.
Will search the net again.

I just tried it and when I opened Sonar and looked in the plugins folder almost all of the DXi plugins were gone, so I guess that is not going to help. We should contact Cakewalk tech support for some more definitive answers.

As I mentioned. Do not mess with the registry before you contact tech support. They gave me that advice, naybe based on some specific condition that applied in my case.
