Hello Everyone,
We have recently released version 17.01 of our plugins, which includes some minor changes. However, I would like to highlight the release of MPluginManager v01.10, which introduces a new offline installation feature. Previously, there were complaints that offline installation required two computers or was not possible when the computer was behind a firewall (e.g., in China). To address this, we have prepared offline installation data, which can be downloaded via a web browser here: https://www.meldaproduction.com/downloads/offline . You can find the link to these offline data also in the download section: https://www.meldaproduction.com/downloads
This offline installation data includes all plugin and instrument packages, as well as installers for both PC and Mac. Once you have installed MPluginManager v01.10 on the offline computer, the plugin update process is as follows:
1. Download and unzip the file to a folder on your computer.
2. Run MPluginManager and, under the "Offline Installation Settings" tab, locate the folder with the unzipped files by clicking the "Load offline installation data" button.
3. MPluginManager will then load the data, update itself if it finds a newer version of the installer, and update all installed packages if any are installed. If no plugin or instrument was installed previously, you can freely install them after the data is loaded.
That's all there is to it. Future updates on the offline computer will be straightforward. When new plugins are released, simply download and load the new extracted ZIP file, and everything will be updated automatically. There’s no need to manually select which plugins to install; all installed plugins and instruments will be updated automatically.
These offline installation data files (ZIP files) will be updated periodically as we release new changes, so this option will remain available going forward. You can still create an offline installation data folder via MPluginManager as before, with the added benefit that it can now also include your licenses and add-ons based on your selection.
Note: This new offline feature is already available in MPluginManager v01.09, but we recommend updating to v01.10 on the offline machine, as this version also supports self-updates for MPluginManager, ensuring you don't have to worry about future updates.
