While having some trouble getting SQLite to work in a standalone (which I finally managed to do), I think I broke my database with a bastard standalone (mix of Max5 and Max6 stuff).

In fact, the clues making me say this are :

- get_plugs.js script not working anymore (the js script that scans for vst files in the database, found in vst~'s help file) -> only returns "no plugin"

- many, many error messages ("no such table" errors) when sending max the "db.reset" message

Does anybody know how to recreate the database ?

Do I have to re-install Max ?
Or is there a better way ?

If you created a separate preferences folder for your standalone then delete it.

Other wise you will need to delete your Max 5 and Max 6 prefs

I also tried to reinstall Max but this didn't work either.

The get_plugs.js script still doesn't find anything.

I still have the same error messages when I send the db.reset message to max.

More precisely, if I send this message a first time after launching max it will have no effect, the second time I will get "no such table" error messages arising from SELECT and INSERT requests, the third time I will get the same errors arising from DROP requests, and then it will loop on 2nd and 3rd cases each time I send a db.reset message.

I trashed the Max preferences located in /Users/me/Library/Preferences.

Are there any other files that I should delete ?

My first concern is to have this vst plugins automatic listing, but I guess SQLite is the only way to have it ... ?

Unfortunately, this didn't work for me.

No news of this thread ... any clues on how tu manage the database ?

I can't even figure out where it is located.

Isn't really there a way to repair or recreate it ?

EDIT : in fact everything seems ok with the database, except the js script in [vst~]'s example file ...

I found another way to list the plugs automatically, even for WaveShell :

Max database broken - db.reset message doesn't repair it
