FR: CLI option to bypass plugin scans for troubleshooting

clepsydrae · 06-20-2020, 01:32 PM

When starting a portable reaper for the purposes of troubleshooting a bug, it's often time consuming to have to wait for it to scan plugins. It would be nice if there was a CLI option to prevent the scan.

I hear that you can pre-edit a reaper.ini and stop VST2 scanning, but not VST3? Haven't tried it. Either way, it'd be nice to just pass --nopluginscan or whatever.

(Let me know if I've missed something.)

The correct forum for feature requests? :P

edit:
Ok, would also make pre-release testing more straight forward, fair enough.

Yeah I had something about pre-releases in there at first, so I posted it here, but then I edited it out, so it makes less sense as-is, but yeah, that's the idea. Personally I'd use it more trying to troubleshoot stuff for forum users, but seems like it'd be most handy for pre-release debuggers. At any rate, if anyone moves it to FR subforum, totally cool with me.
