VST plug-in names show the proper VST name instead of the DLL file name.

Now my three Kontakt 5 instances all just say "Kontakt 5", not:

Kontakt 5 16-Out
Kontakt 5 8-Out
Kontakt 5

So now I have to memorize which is which because now they read:

Kontakt 5
Kontakt 5
Kontakt 5

I guess I'm just not understanding the use of the word "proper" in this context?

As Noel says:


You have a few formatting choices here for the VST name, which are controllable via a new ini setting.  


Add a new variable  VSTPlugInNameFormat via Edit | Preferences | Initialization file.   


You can set the value to either 0, 1, 2, 3.  


0 - Format 0:  Vst supplied name which is the new default  
1 - Format 1:  DLL Name which is the old behavior  
2 - Format 2:  VST Plugin Name (DLL Name)  
3 - Format 3:  DLL Name (VST Plugin Name)  


 After you create the variable, restart SONAR and the menus should display the new naming format.
