AutoRegisterPlugins()

void VST3EffectsModule::AutoRegisterPlugins ( PluginManagerInterface &  pluginManager )

Here is the call graph for this function:

FindModulePaths()

PluginPaths VST3EffectsModule::FindModulePaths ( PluginManagerInterface &  pluginManager )

overridevirtual

Find available "paths", which may each be presented to the user, and then reexamined (possibly loading libraries) to find one or more plug-ins

Paths are not necessarily file system paths. Only the provider reinterprets the paths.

Modules may be associated with plug-ins, one-to-many.

Here is the call graph for this function:

GetFileExtensions()

const FileExtensions & VST3EffectsModule::GetFileExtensions ( )

overridevirtual

File types associated with this protocol.

"Paths" returned by FindModulePaths() and passed back to DiscoverPluginsAtPath() have provider-specific meaning. They are not necessarily file system paths to existent files that could be placed in any folder and queried for plug-in information.

This function returns nonempty only when that is the case, and lists the possible extensions of such files (an empty string in a nonempty array means any file is a candidate).
