Can't get dragonfly or many other plugins to work

#1

I’ve download a dragonfly reverb from the store itself on mint.
I’ve also got it off their official site and the kxstudio site.
When the plugin scan finishes dragonfly is either shown as error or stale.
What the heck am I doing wrong?
Bear in mind I’m a long time Windows user of Pro Tools.
Any help is appreciated thank you

Have you perhaps installed the LV2 plugin, but placed it in the VST location and scanned it as VST?

If you get the distro-version it would be a LV2 plugin and Ardour should automatically pick it up at application start (no scan required).

It’s possible I’m putting files in the wrong place but I’m installing a few they’re either from the store itself or a deb file and I don’t think they are.
Either way if I move what I’ve downloaded and extracted into the .L2 folder or into my own plugin folder and direct the scanning to that folder those are the messages I get error or stale.
Is there anything else that I need to install in the terminal to get things working?

If they are LV2 plugins, the folder is ~/.lv2/ (not .L2). It is also not possible to place them in some other folder. See Filesystem Hierarchy Standard

Plugin scan is for VST plugins only.

It does not work if you try to scan a LV2 plugin in a custom folder as VST.

Spell check changed it.
