Can I re-organize Plugins in Pull-Down Menu?
 

In the previuos update to pro Tools, the Plugins are niclely organized in the pull down menus. I know you can add favorites that show up at the top of the list, but if I want to move Maxim to the Dynamic category (for example), how do I accomplish this?

Re: Can I re-organize Plugins in Pull-Down Menu?
 

You can't. The categories are predetermined and hard coded within the plugin by the plugin developer.

By the way, there is a Maxim update that takes care of that problem.

In which update does Maxim NOT appear under the "Dynamics" category of plug-ins? It's always been there as long as I've been running PTLE... Are you running 6.7 or something?


There's a "Preferences" option under "Display" where you can check the box "Organize Plug-In Menus By Category"




Oh...you can check the version by going to your System drive and clicking on: "Library/Application Support/Digidesign/Plugins" and clicking once on Maxim. It should be v: 1.8 which is the version the link takes you to.


Sorry if I'm stating the obvious. You probably know all this and I should go back to sleep.

I sorta figured that might be the case :-( I will try the update. thanks.

Getting Updates to Digi bundled plug-ins
 

Just picking up on a comment made above....

How can we check if we have the latest updates of our Digi bundled plug-ins? For example, I was unaware that Maxim was at version 1.8? When was this announced? I have always had Maxim (bundled with my 002) but didn't realise there was a new 'version'. If I download the 1.8, will it overwrite my existing authorisation?

Thanks.

Plugin updates were announced when 6.4 came out. A link to plugin updates on the 6.4 update page

From that page:

Yes, you can. First, under the preferences menu/display tab un-check "organize plug-in menu by catigory." Next go to http://www.tllabs.com and download the free tl|fauxlder plugin. This will allow you to organize your plugins any way you choose.

Only if you're using a MAC.
