I've been enjoying some of the UnitedPlugins (especially JMG plugins), but for some reason out of nowhere, UnitedPlugins decided to take the Melda stance, and now only way for me to download updates for plugins is to use some bloatware installer/manager
I call it bloatware because it's forced on me, there's no option to download updates without installing this (yet another) plugin manager. What's worse it doesn't seem to have detection for existing/already installed plugins, and it's bad if you have individual plugins vst2, and others vst3, because it forces you to download both versions for all (if you want to use v2 or v3 or certain plugins), since if you select/delect plugins you want to install vst and vst3, it will assume you want non-selected plugins uninstalled and just automatically removes them, giving no way to have mix of vst2 and vst3![:dog:]( "D'oh!")
Basically, this is plugin manager thing is probably something nobody asked, but just like Melda, they just had to force this down our throats. If only they offered option to manually download also, but no they are now forcing all new plugin updates to be handled through this terrible manager, no way for doing this manually. This is just so bad how did they think this would be good idea?
