I have autoscan off as well.
Whenever I install 3rd party instrument/fx or a PC module, I know I need to rescan to pick it up, since it's new to my system.

Never really cared that the Plug-In Manager rescan button says "Scan VST Plugins", I just knew clicking it will pick up what I just installed.


Whether a PC effect is a vst or not seems pretty moot - it's a new plugin and I just scan it.

It’s true to say that cake has omitted to state that you need to Scan VST Plugins, but really…
Thankyou so much! This thread has been one of the most comical ever; please excuse me while I wipe the tears of laughter from my eyes.
We could make a “Faulty Towers” episode out of this tread entitled “”Petulant Frenzy”
Let me introduce you to the cast…
 
Starring… CakeAlexS… as Basil Fawlty
 
Scook… as Manuel
 
SuperG… as Polly Sherman
 
John… as The Major
 
Bub… (Cameo roll only) as an unfortunate houseguest unaware of how childish the owners and staff are. 

Hey, I resemble that remark! 

Can I be Sybil?

I do a good nest of vipers

SuperG Hey, I resemble that remark!  

HahahahaThat’s cool… Mate you got off light, Poly was the most sane caricature of them all  

Bristol

Can I be Sybil? I do a good nest of vipers

That all depends if you can make a "Waldorf Salad"... and you don’t mention the war!

Soon someone will roll up and say to the plugin manager......(adopt best Basil Fawlty voice)..... "If you don't start recognising PC modules automatically soon, I'm going to give you a damn good thrashing"

Keh!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a weird thread. Why anyone would be *against* a clearer explanation of this, I can't imagine. Alex's example bug report above is right on the money. When you consider how often this comes up as a problem on the forums, it's an obvious and sensible suggestion for an improvement.

John please read post #12. Let me explain...please try to understand before one of us dies.... ..and don't mention the war!

There is nothing to explain John. It is very simple the PC modules are VSTs. 

Also there is no reason to turn off the auto VST scan when X2 starts. If people are concerned that it will slow down the loading of X2 it wont. 

Alex I think you need to take a rest. The comment about the "war" is ridiculous and unbecoming of you.
