ladspa plugin path will not accept 2 paths

[spectromas]

I am unable to use the two ladspa paths I have on my system. If I set it to either one then I can use the plugins from that folder but if I put both folders it only sees one particular folder.

The manual states:
"If you have multiple locations, separate them with colons in the standard UNIX path manner."

This is what I have in the ladspa plugin path option: /home/alex/.ladspa:/usr/lib64/ladspa (this is also the output of echoing ladspa path).
However, only the plugins from /usr/lib64/ladspa will show up with this setting. I hope I am just doing something wrong or missing something here.

I am using the 1.0.93rc.

@Beedie,

In May we added /usr/lib64/ladspa to the default search path via 6a5e7b1, so that shouldn't be needed anymore on versions 1.0.3 and higher (I believe).

As far as the : colon delimiter, can you try a comma? The source code seems to reference a comma via ladspa_manager.cpp#L44 so if commas work, we may have to update the manual that you are referring to correctly reflect that. Are you using the wiki or the PDF manual?

Thanks for the reply Tres. I feel a bit stupid now, I changed it to just ~/.ladspa and it does seem to be picking up the other folder as well automatically.

Neither comma or colon seem to work if I do manually include both folders though. Colon just results in the /usr/lib64/ladspa folder being shown and comma isn't remembered after restarting, it changes to "/usr/local/bin/../lib//ladspa/" for some reason.

It was the wiki that I was referring to - http://lmms.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/1.0:LMMS_Settings#Paths.

Anyway, thanks for the help and the clarification, there does seem to be something odd with this but it is working for me now.

@Sti2nd, can you fix the documentation?

It was the wiki that I was referring to - http://lmms.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/1.0:LMMS_Settings#Paths.

Error in documentation:

I tested this for , comma, and it definitely works and picks up LADSPA in both locations. If your settings aren't saving then that is a separate issue.

I'm marking this as invalid but please don't "feel stupid" as the interface offers no hints as to this functionality and our documentation is wrong, so it is very good you brought this to our attention, thank you!

I'm not @Sti2nd, but I fixed the typo 😉
