Phil replied: there has been an issue with the plug-in manager Window being obscured by the Sonar application Window. I think this got broken back in Sonar 6. It would be great if Cakewalk would fix this issue. They are aware of it. In the mean time, I guess any scripting package could be set-up to push the Sonar application Window out of the way and give the plug-in Manager focus. I also seem to remember that if you select it from the tools menu twice then, you will gain focus.

You then add the folder where the plug in resides you want to scan and hit the scan button. HF ----- Original Message ----- From: D!J!X!

Some of the buttons aren't labeled, but most things will read just fine with Jaws. Inside the cakewalk folder, go to share utilities. In there, is the plug-in manager.chm file and the plug-in manager executable.
