Hi

Right click on the VST folder under devices and presets in the browser on the right hand side, and select Re-index. It is set to auto scan for changes as well.

Thanks Fjorko but that didn't seem to do anything.

Bump - anybody in here know how to force a rescan?

'Reindex' command seemingly does nothing at all. I've used 'Remove Library Location' and re-added it but no luck of Waves plugin list updating itself.

Also, 'Should update automatically' is turned on for the location.

What gives?

In case you missed this thread Contour:

It appears there is no solution at this time.

Happy Musiking!

Wave plugins show up here in BWS 1.0.10, although I'm on windows 8.1.u

To really rescan VSTs anew in this special case (the file doesn't change, only the license, which BWS doesn't know), you would need to delete the index AFAIK:

- Close BWS before you do it (I mean really close, not that half close thing in OSX).

On Windows it's in C:\Users\Yourname\AppData\Local\Bitwig Studio\index\
On OSX it should be in: Users/yourname/Library/ApplicationSupport/Bitwig/Bitwig Studio/index

I usually delet the whole folder "index" when it seems that something is stuck (you can also rename it or move it to somewhere else if you are unsure).
It also contains the other databases so BWS will rescan your audio etc. on next start as well.

Let us know if that helps.

Cheers,

Tom

Tom, thanks for the tip but it didn't do it. I'm still using the Gold Bundle when I'm in Bitwigland.

I guess I'll have to take dsan's word for it - there is no workaround. What a bummer.

Ah - too bad - I had hopes that this is finally fixed in 1.0.10...

I can't do any real tests myself since I lose my waves licenses every couple of days and have given up on the whole waves thing in the meantime. Their copy protection is too much for me.

Did you contact Tech-Support already? They may know a solution and if not can put it in the bug-database if it isn't there yet.
