Summary	0000018: Buggy plugin cache: "Forgets" about plugins and keeps corrupted ones.
Description	Some VSTs (f.e. the Juno6 VSTi) are not supported by OpenMPT. You get an error message when adding them and afterwards, they are of course not shown in the VST manager. However, they seem to be kept in the VST list in mptrack.ini, so everytime you start MPT, you'll get a warning (until you remove it from the mptrack.ini...) A similar problem is that plugins seem to randomly vanish from the mptrack.ini plugin list, i.e. they are still in the file (f.e. Plugin55=foo.dll), but NumPlugins is too low (f.e. NumPlugin = 50).
Tags	No tags attached.

Has the bug occurred in previous versions?
Tested code revision (in case you know it)

Saga Musix 2013-11-17 22:14 administrator ~0001376	I have re-implemented the plugin manager using std::vector instead of hand-written pointer magic after I noticed some anomalies. It's highly possible that the latest revisions finally fix this problem, but since it happens randomly, I can only make assumptions.

Saga Musix 2013-12-01 16:32 administrator ~0001395	I'll close this report and re-open it if the problem happens to re-appear. So far, it seems to be fixed.
