As I remember, some time ago there was a possibility in foo_midi to select the instrument dll manually. It was changed to automatic VSTi scan in more recent versions. Kode54, can you include the option of selecting the VSTi manually?
I'll try to explain why:
1. It scans only in programfiles\steinberg\vstplugins
and sometimes (most of the time) VSTi's are in other folders
2. There are some VSTi's that crash foobar during the scanning, so it would be good to bypass them.
3. And if there are many synths, the scan can take some time to perform. It is very annoying even on fast machines.
So it would be good to add some button to perform the scan, and to add the ability to select the path to the instrument manually.
