If your goal is to stir some more attention around this bug, I've tagged it
for 1.2, but that is just speculative, as this behavior is more of an
inconvenience than it is a real show stopper so it might not get any
attention if someone doesn't choose to work on it.
I've fixed a few minor bugs like this before, so I might be a good
candidate to fix this one too, but I've never really been happy with the
handling of VSTs in general as I feel we don't properly distinguish between
VST instruments and VST effects in terms of our configuration directories.
The reason I say this is because although we have a plugin window which
lists the VST effects, the instruments are sort of treated as a sample in
the sense that you have to browse to the DLLs and then add them to see what
they look and sound like... And you need to know to use the DLL, which most
DAWs auto-import from a share Steinberg directory. But my griefs with this
functionality are moot if I can't fix them, as we have very few developers
working on making Windows instrument plugins work better... :)
So, yes, there are likely dozens or hundreds wanting this functionality
enhanced, but very few that have looked at the code necessary to fix it.
If we had more devs we could consider a priority or voting system on bugs,
but we aren't there yet, and from the looks of things, won't be until more
people pick up C++. :)
BTW, I don't know C++, I just make changes until the software compiles and
let those who do know C++ tell me what I did wrong. :)
