Seems this had been broken for some time now, but nobody noticed it. :-/ Thanks to Len Ovens for pointing this one out. :-)

The <dfn>Plugin Manager</dfn> serves two purposes. Primarily it is used to
|
|
control the display status of plugins. It can also be used to find and insert
|
|
plugins into the
|
|
<a href="@@processor-box">Processor Box</a>. It is
|
|
displayed either by a double-click in the <dfn>Processor Box</dfn> or by
|
|
choosing <kbd class="menu">New Plugin > Plugin Manager…</kbd> from the
|
|
<dfn>Processor Box</dfn> context menu.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Displayed for each plugin is the status (normal, favorite, hidden),
|
|
name, type, category, creator (author), and the number of audio and MIDI
|
|
connections. The plugins can be sorted by clicking on a column header.

<h2>Plugin Display Status</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Click on a Fav(orite) or Hide radio button to change a plugin's display status.
|
|
Clicking on an already selected radio button will cancel it, returning the
|
|
plugin to the normal display status. Plugins marked as a favorite show up in
|
|
the <dfn>Processor Box</dfn> context menu under
|
|
<kbd class="menu">New Plugin > Favorites</kbd>. Setting the hide
|
|
radio button on a plugin will keep the plugin from showing in the
|
|
<dfn>Processor Box</dfn> context menus
|
|
<kbd class="menu">New Plugin > By Creator</kbd> or
|
|
<kbd class="menu">New Plugin > By Category</kbd>.

<h2>Filtering Listed Plugins</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The middle of the <dfn>Plugin Manager</dfn> is used to filter the listed
|
|
plugins. Typing into the text-box will filter the plugins based on the filter
|
|
mode selected by drop-down box. Clicking <kbd class="menu">Clear</kbd>
|
|
empties the text-box.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Inserting Plugins in the Processor Box</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The bottom half of the plugin manager shows plugins that have been selected
|
|
for insertion into the <dfn>Processor Box</dfn>. A plugin can be added by
|
|
either double clicking the plugin entry in the top half, or, if already
|
|
selected in top half, by clicking <kbd class="menu">Add</kbd>.
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Plugins can be removed from the bottom half with a double click, or, if
|
|
already selected, by clicking <kbd class="menu">Remove</kbd>.
