not sure we are quite on the same page yet:-) let me try and be clearer.
If I’m not misunderstanding you, then everything works as you like it?
Absolutely not, everything does not work as I or I believe anyone else would like it. (except maybe Steinberg, which is astounding)
What you don’t like is the re-scan and the time it takes?
absolutely correct, this is completely stupid behaviour and needs changing back to how it worked in C6.
The re-scan I believe simply check marks everything which is what you say you want.
Regarding this issue and the discussed locations the-rescan that occurs in Mediabay ALSO check marks everything that was unchecked ASWELL AS making the re-scan. No I do not want this.
This again is undesirable behaviour and needs addressing by Steinberg.
In my case there are some boxes I want left unchecked, but the rescan checks them…not good.
I agree with you, the user should be able to leave boxes unchecked without them being automaticallty re-checked.
I hope we can agree there are two different issues going on stemming from the same issue. Neither of which are at all good.
This to me is another worrying indication that Steinberg cannot currently get the basic functionality of its product right!
Hope this has cleared things up.
All the best
Attached here again is the official Steinberg statement on the matter, an unbeleivable failure on their part:
Hello,
the reported behaviour identified as BON-7138 has been closed because it is not a bug, but per Design. The implementation works as intended and it was introduced with Cubase 7.x
The Media bay should only re-scan ‘VST Sound user content’ and ‘VST3 preset folders’ Track presets each time. All other locations stay blue and will not be re-scanned.
