All of my plugins are intended for Windows only at the moment. I’ve heard from a few people who say they managed to get some of them working under Linux, but I don’t think they’ll simply work out of the box like this? I was under the impression that some extra mods/hacks/tweaks/etc are required?
Just looked at your plugin page and as far as I can see it doesn’t actually state they are for Windows anywhere. Would suggest you adding some mention. The Glitch specific page does though…
True. However, I find that the majority of people who actually know what a VST plug-in is and what to do with it generally recognise that a .DLL file is for Windows. But you’re right; I could make it more obvious on the website. Will edit the page
Once they’ve downloaded and unzipped them as they are compressed on your site
Only a very small matter really, especially saying as the files are tiny, but thought it a valid point raising anyway. Glitch is definitely the one of yours that gets the most recommendations from people and its main page does state it as Windows only, so even if it was a small note at the top of the Plugins page to cover all below (unless you are going to start work on them being ported to other platforms.)
Windows is .dll
Linux is .so
What is OSX? .so as well? Guessing Unix Shared Object thing…
Not to mention Windows at least may be downloaded as an executable or cabinet/msi file…
