Backslashes in paths on macOS

Post by soaria »

Not just a problem in Voltage Modular, but it applies there too. I have a bunch of folders in my home that look like this:

Code: Select all

Library/
Library\CherryAudio/
Library\CherryAudio\DCO-106/
Library\CherryAudio\DCO-106\Logs\/
Library\CherryAudio\Polymode Synthesizer/
Library\CherryAudio\Polymode Synthesizer\Logs\/
Library\CherryAudio\Stardust 201 Tape Echo/
Library\CherryAudio\Stardust 201 Tape Echo\Logs\/
Library\CherryAudio\Surrealistic MG-1 Plus/
Library\CherryAudio\Surrealistic MG-1 Plus\Logs\/
Library\Voltage\Cache\Images\/
Library\Voltage\Cache\Sounds\/
Library\Voltage\Cache\VoltageSoundsThumb.db
Library\Voltage\Logs\/
Library\Voltage\Modules\/
Library\Voltage\Presets/
Library\Voltage\Settings\/
Funny enough, many of those paths *do* exist in the proper location inside Library, but if I just delete these or try to move the files to the right place, the plugins drop back to unactivated. :(

It seems like something in the common Cherry code is using Windows path separators instead of asking the system. Is there a simple fix for this? It's not exactly dire, but it's sort of annoying to look at.

Please update your Cherry Audio installations to the latest versions, which offer support for macOS Ventura.

Once updated, the software will point back to the correct User Library locations and the erroneous folders can be deleted from your home directory. However, if you have saved anything in User Presets since updating to Ventura, you will want to copy those over from the folders in your home directory.
