FX list filter string boolean AND?
I'm trying to hide all VST waves plugins from the fx list so that only the VST3 versions are showing. adding this as a filter "waves NOT VST:" to the normal add fx dialog filter works fine but I need to add something like "NOT VST:*Waves" to the prefs only show matching filter string section. Is there a way to specify a string beginning with "VST:" and ending with "Waves" and having anything in between?
This doesn't work
NOT ( "VST:" AND "Waves" )
thanks

This one should work: Go to Preferences->Plug-ins and insert it into the box on the bottom.
Update the list in FX browser using F5.

AND is implied (valid keywords are OR and NOT, a lack of a keyword means and), what you probably want is:
Code:
NOT ( VST: "(Waves)" ) NOT ( VSTi: "(Waves)" )
Or, on mac if you also want to hide the Audio Units:
Code:
NOT "AUi: Waves:" NOT "AU: Waves:" NOT ( VST: "(Waves)" ) NOT ( VSTi: "(Waves)" )

Just add similar rule using (x86), because in 64-bit Reaper 32-bit plugins have (x86) in the end of their names.

Nicely done. Had to remote in to my DAW computer because I was intrigued. Worked perfectly. I didn't ask the question here.. but thanks for a great answer!

The OSX Default for this feature is broken since the dev and category changes in fx browser.

Reviving this... I am noticing something strange in the fx chain window when trying to add a new plugin.
I am browsing the VST category, I have some plugins with "(mda)" as developer.
If I set as plugin filter NOT "mda" it doesn't work - the mda plugins are not excluded.
If I set NOT "(mda)" it works. Is this expected?
Thanks,
Mario

Quotes makes it match a whole word. NOT mda, NOT "(mda)" and NOT (mda) should all work. NOT "mda" would only match if there are spaces around mda in the plugin name.

OK, I tried quotes because I'm pretty sure without quotes it didn't work.
Now simply NOT mda is working. Go figure...
Thanks,
Mario
