I guess I should follow Nay-Seven's suggestion and start downloading all 32 bit versions of my plugins today. I wonder what is the best practice and want to ask other users how you do it? Keeping both versions in two separate VST directories, and only scan the 32 bit directory for Usine (32 bit)? Or do most users install both versions in the same central directory (e.g. c:vst)? Or would you create a dedicated VST directory for each DAW? As Usine is portable, would it be more clever to create a VST directory inside the Usine directory?

Then comes another question to my mind: how to delete the old plugin folder from the configuration settings? Overwriting all slots with the same new directory works, but no clue how to delete the redundant directory entries. I expected [Delete], [Backspace] or [Right-Click] will do that.

Thanks for your opinions + best regards.

[CTRL+clic] is what your looking for

About folders, the simplest way is maybe to have only one main dir , or if you (as me) , love to test many plug-ins you can create a second one VST4test you load only time to time
BTW, a vst folder inside Usine is not a good idea for me, better to keep it outside and maybe not on C:

Thanks Nay-Seven. Yes, I am frequently testing all kind of plugins. I'll try that, too.
C: is the only volume that I can use for now - so, that must work. Otherwise it will be on an external hard drive which sounds not like a good idea for me :)
