Bug: Incorrect plugin version number displayed in DAWs despite correct version number in XML #42

Closed MrPlugDev closed 6 days ago

MrPlugDev commented 1 week ago

Description: Plugin version numbers are displayed incorrectly in DAWs, even though the correct version number is specified in the plugin XML file. For example, if version 1.2 is specified in the factory XML, the DAW always shows version 1.0.

Steps to reproduce:

-Open the plugin XML file and set the version number (e.g., 1.2). -Load the plugin in a DAW. -Check the plugin version displayed in the DAW. -Observe that the DAW displays an incorrect version number (e.g., 1.0) instead of the version specified in the XML. Additional Information:

The discrepancy occurs consistently across different DAWs, affecting the display of version numbers.

I saved a fresh plugin, changed the version number in the file factory.se.xml (in the plugin Resources). Then loaded the plugin in Cubase 10.5, the plugin manager reported the correct version number.

I then changed the Version number in a plugin that Cubase had already scanned, Cubase did not pick up the change. (You may need to delete any cache that the DAW keeps of the plugin data).

1 How is this in Apple Logic ? 2 How is this on macOS DAWS in general? 3 Why does the cache needs to be deleted ?, other plugins (not created with SE) do not seem to have this problem.
