And if we are already at it…
With the upcoming Dorico 1.1 update things will become even more simple:
That daft 32 digit number is not necessary anymore at all, just list the plug-in names, that’s it
Furthermore, people complained that our update installers simply overwrite their arduously edited whitelist.
True, very dumb. So you then will have the possibility to have an own, second whitelist at a location that the installer will not touch. The name of the file needs to be same (vst2whitelist.txt) and goes to
Win: C:\Users<username>\AppData\Roaming\Steinberg\VSTAudioEngine_64
Mac: /Users//Library/Preferences/VSTAudioEngine
But again, this will be from Dorico 1.1 onwards!
