solved: Add /home/username/.vst to path list?

[micksedan]

In Ubuntu Studio 20.04, the method to add paths seems limited to selecting
from a browser widget, with no way to choose 'hidden' folders, and no text entry field.

I'm probably missing something obvious, an aquired skill,

EDIT, I forgot to try right-click in the browser list panel.
Maybe those evil hidden files should be available by default in that panel?
end EDIT



but in the meantime,
I copied and renamed my .u-he folder, put it in /usr/lib/vst, but I prefer
avoiding root/sudo permisssions. That's in V6.1.22, which feels like the
gui is very snappy.

Still has vertical gui text upside-down and backwards. Ever see a movie house
with signage like that? Not a flaw exclusive to Mixbus, but one easy to fix.
Cheers

winecfg has a tickbox to enable browsing in hidden files, reaper has an init file
so you can text-edit the vst paths.

In many file browsers, including Thunar, Nautilus, Dolphin, PCManFM and Nemo Ctrl+H reveals the hidden files and when you press it again it will toggle back. Most browser dialogues in applications use the system default, Mixbus certainly does, which will be Nautilus in your case.
Try it next time.
