invisible rtas file

[onepercentfree]

Hello

Have a weird problem just transfered my set up to a mac book

but some of the unused plugs plugs i deleted now show up on the list even if there not installed of course they crash when you use them or are now demo even if the actual plug is not in the PT plug folder they show //which invisible files tools should i use to delete these plus looked with terminal but no invisible plugs in the folder only mac stuff

Could it be that you have an AAX version installed? This lives in a different folder.

No aax plus the plug ins load even if there not in folder i can even see them at startup when they load. If i use one in the session in loads as demo but i don\t even have these one installed it is from when i transfered some of the plug i was gonna use to the macbook but are for sure not in plug-in folder it can only be invisible files in the folder i transfered plus tried copied one at a time changed nothing.

Which Mac OS version? Which version of Pro Tools? What is the command you typed in Terminal to check for invisible files? Have you deleted the DAE cache?

Hello

This is what i used


defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE

killall Finder


Shows nothing in the pro tools folder using 10.2 with snow 10.6.8


Problem is still there was install all fresh after format even did it twice same invisible files.

Is there a program like a clean or search that can help delete this. THX

Browse to the plug-in directories using Terminal and type ls -la. That is the list (ls) command with the l (long) and a (all) switches. If it's a file, hidden or not, this command will list it.

Do you have any other partitions with OS installs mounted? Have you trashed your DAE preferences? Which list are these hidden plug-ins appearing in? The list that appears when you go to insert a plug-in for a session?
