Can I have the plugin check where it is installed ?
Say if someone does not use the default Steinberg/VStplugins folder but something else.
Can I have the plugin know where it is installed and get the folder name ?

There is the Folder primitive just not sure if it writes where I install the plugin when exporting or if it can read where it installed on any computer ?

It appears that the folder prim can only know where it has been exported rather then know where it resides if moved or installed into a different folder then the export folder . At least that is what it looks like.

I wonder if there is a way for the plugin to check where it is installed ?

What I need to do is have the plugin find a folder with envelope shapes regardless of the install path .
I could use the Sysfolders Prim and put the envelopes in the roaming folder but I am not sure if the Prim "gets" the folder on startup of the plugin as there is no "do it" trigger , so wondering if it only works within FS or also in an installed plugin? Or indeed if it finds the system folder specific to each user or just on my computer ?

After some testing it seems that the systems folder prim works .

check the Schematic File Path primitive. It will output the location where the .dll vst resides

Does that not just show me where the schematic itself is located rather then the vst itself ?
Does so in FS at least.

I think this is solved by using the System folder prim and then install presets and Envelope shapes into a folder at Appdata/roaming.

If you export it to vst, it will output the location of the vst dll files

Cool, trying it out.
