Disabling Plug Ins Question

Post by csiaudio »

Hi,

Recently my DP system (7.02) has an awful lag (saving, some edits, clicking between Open Office and then DP) and I was going to do some trouble shooting soon. I have a question; if I use the disable plugins feature in the DP preferences does DP then look at it as if those plugs don't exist? The goal is to see if any of the recent plugs that I have added are causing issues. In the past I would have to remove the plugs components from the system plugin folder but if DP will look at it the same when using the DP preferences than that would be more simplistic to turn them off one at a time.

Thanks.

I believe the whole point of the feature in DP is to lighten the load on the CPU.

I would assume that it works that way but I'd run it by MOTU just to be on the safe side, I guess it only matters if disabling any of the plugs doesn't make any difference. If you restart and open DP without Open Office do you still have the same lag, that could be the culprit, could also be that you're session is corrupted.
