Hi,
I would like to transfer my plugin list structure to another Renoise installation. Normally I do that by simply copying CachedVSTs_x64.db, CachedAUs_x64.db and CachedVST3s_x64.db to the prefs dir on the new computer, Renoise then would reorganize / remove missing plugins at next plugin scan, by keeping the wanted tree structure.
Strangely this does not seem to work on the M1 machine… Are M1 supporting plugins somehow stored in a different way? I can find all those .db files with a _arm64 suffix on the M1 machine… So would it be possible to simply rename the above files to _arm64. and then do a rescan?
But then some questions arise… How exactly is the storing of plugin info done? If a plugin supports both, x64 and arm64, will it be then stored to both .db files at once?
It seems to me kind of a suboptimal approach that there are db-files per cpu architecture, and not a single db then, with architecture flags per entry maybe… Also the cpu types are already there in the db files… I am confused 
But why the three different databases for the same then? _386, _x64 and _arm64
