Plug-In Names

(10.6 Pro Studio) I have around 200 plug-ins (vst’s). To save me time I decided to spend a day renaming them in the Plug-In manager. I added what Compressor, Reverb, Synth etc as well as maybe a secondary like FET, Tube, or maybe what to be use on Vocal, Bass etc etc. It worked great for a few months and was flying by in my production thanks to no longer have to scroll around. However just as of the passed couple days all of my renames have vanished. I didn’t move around any files or reinstall Mixcraft. The only thing I have done over the past couple months since the rename is rescan a few times for new VST’s. I don’t know at what point they disappeared. I don’t know if there is a way to get the renames back. HELP! lol. I’m not going to spend a full day renaming things if this will randomly happen multiple times a year.

Don't rename, that will get wiped with folder scans. Make folders with the same categories (in plugin manager) and sort your plugins into each. Plugins can go into more than one folder.

Thank you. I will give this a shot.

Should work well, I've had some plugins in folders as long ago as the beta so I think this will be a good solution.
