Anyone know if there’s a way to delete plug-in vendor after you add one by mistake?
Hi,
Right-click doesn’t offer the option? Is it an attribute?
I think you could it an attribute it comes under the plug-ins / plug-in vendor
Right, click does remove it from the assigned track preset in my case , but I’m actually trying to remove it from the list so that I don’t see it anymore
If the vendor name is no longer assigned to any preset, it won’t appear in the database. However, it will appear in the Defaults.xml file of your Cubase preferences folder, for example for CB14 and windows it should be here:
C:\Users\yourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Steinberg\Cubase 14_64
-
First close Cubase.
-
Then open the Defaults.xml file.
-
In this file there is an item named SimpleValueDialogPlugInVendorDefaults. Search for it.
You will find a block similar to this:
<item>
<string name="Group" value="SimpleValueDialogPlugInVendorDefaults"/>
<member name="Values">
<obj class="CmLinkedList" name="LastUsed" ID="205540992">
<int name="ownership" value="1"/>
<list name="obj" type="obj">
<obj class="CmVariant" ID="205543632">
<int name="type" value="40"/>
<string name="str" value="Steinberg Media Technologies"/>
</obj>
<obj class="CmVariant" ID="205541232">
<int name="type" value="48"/>
<string name="str" value="" wide="true"/>
</obj>
<obj class="CmVariant" ID="205543008">
<int name="type" value="48"/>
<string name="str" value="test vendor" wide="true"/>
</obj>
</list>
</obj>
</member>
</item>
In this block we have the items of the list that appears in the mediaBay pluginVendor comboBox(actually the “Last Used” ones).
Since you still see a pluginVendor you want to remove, and as said earlier, it is no longer present in any preset (otherwise even if we remove it, it will eventually reappear after mediaBay scanning), you can search for its name in this list in order to remove it.
In the segment I posted, let’s say that we want to remove the “test vendor”.
We notice that it’s inside a block starting with
<obj class="CmVariant" ID="205543008">
The end of the block is the very first
</obj>
we find after the block start.
So we actually have this block:
<obj class="CmVariant" ID="205543008">
<int name="type" value="48"/>
<string name="str" value="test vendor" wide="true"/>
</obj>
Delete this block and save the file. It should now be removed from the mediaBay’s pluginVendor comboBox.
Needless (?) to say that one has to be really careful with such manual operations, and always backup the file prior to editing it.
