Can't install plugins #9

Closed derkrasseleo closed 2 years ago

derkrasseleo commented 2 years ago

Windows 11, StudioRack v.0.0.31

I can't install any plugin except the ones that are in a .zip. After installing, the folders where the plugin should be are just empty. One extreme case is dexed, where there is not even a folder for it:

This should be fixed in the latest release v0.0.32. StudioRack will download the installer into the StudioRack downloads directory for now. The rest of the installation process is manual.

I have not tested plugin installers properly (.exe and .msi) as I am planning to get rid of them. They create a poor user experience as the file is downloaded and then has to be manually clicked through by a user.

I am gradually going to converted all plugin installers over to .zip artifacts so that they can be extracted and copied to the the correct system directories without user intervention.

Great to see the progress! For some reason, studiorack still ignores the plugin directory, I'll open up a new issue for that
