Hi,
Patchwork - When comes version with scanning plugin folders ?
The lack of this property (It's not a feature!) stopped my trial.

I am glad patchwork isn't doing that nonsense.
So I hope never.

I 100% agree. In the context of Patchwork, what would be the advantage to that annoyance?

Not scanning plugin folders is the number one reason for me using PatchWork almost exclusively! I'm hoping Reaper, Magma, ReValver and MIDI Guitar 2 will consider changing to this superior method!

I really wouldn't want to see this happen.
That said, if it would be added as an option, it could satisfy some users.
Like stated by @mmann , it's also a reason why I like/use PatchWork so much.

It is indeed not for everyone. We are however considering adding a way to scan plug-ins upon request (NOT automatically upon each load), so that it would let you build your favorites list faster. But there are a couple of challenges to make it right, so it's still under heavy thinking
