Description
Task description
When opening score with VST instrument plugins which don't exist in the system they ignored and in Mixer automatically applied MS Basic sound. But when score has VST effect plugins which don't exist they exist in Mixer cells and if call them to open empty plugin dialog shown.
- This task is about creating special warning window (dialog) when opening absent plugin in Mixer. Text should be like this: "This plugin isn't available in your system".
- Alternative solution could be without window (Logic Pro approach). Just half-transparent plugin cell which is not clickable to open , only to enable/disable and plugins dropdown
To be discussed.
