Does anyone knows how to set vst3 as filetype for opendialog? The filetypes recognized in max documentation does not show any specific file extension for vst3 plugin.
aPcs is used for .vst but cannot find how to allow also .vst3

Thanks in advance.

use dropfile as helper, or read max-fileformats.txt file

or go by path? in windwos vst2 and vst3 have different install locations in the system.

Thanks Roman! I just wanted to allow selecting specific filetypes when using opendialog to make it easier, and could not find the vst3 max-fileformat to send to opendialog via set (message). Using "set a3cs" (message) works perfecly.

ah, see, and nobody knew that, because all the other "tags" are macos-classic/macosx-PPC filetypes (which is several years older than VST3), which mac users programmers used to know by heart. :) so there is one!
