VST Presets Not Available

[bulghur]

DP 8.07
Yosemite
Various VST/AU plugins by several manufacturers.

I have several plug-ins that support both AU and VST. Depending on the project I will make the decision to use AU or VST. I can see all the AU presets but:
- I see no VST presets in the mini dropdown menu
- I cannot save my VST presets -- I get the following error:
OS error reported by File I/O:
There is no such volume (-35)
Additional information:
- When I select 'reveal in finder' in the mini-menu, it takes me to the location of the AU presets.

I think this is a problem that DP does not know where to look for the VST *.fxb and *.fxp files and it does not have the proper permissions to write to it. I have ensured that my home account can read/write into the all the directories of the Library/Audio directories but I am not sure if DP is using admin or wheel or some other account to do this and I am not ready to open up all permissions on my system files.

I should mention that I am also using Live 9 and all my AU and VST presets appear and are savable to a location of my choosing -- so I know this is a DP problem, not a plug-in problem.

BTW, does anyone know where what file I should delete if I want DP to scan all plugins fresh?

Thanks

Are you installed in the default location?

I've seen that a lot since DP8. No solution from the vendors. Quite annoying.

You can do this from within DP from Preferences>Audio Plug-ins pane.

It is. I don't use VST plugins much but if I do, I can using the Save Insert Settings function as a workaround.
