I have a lot of plugins add plugins on a daily / weekly basis but each time needing to rescan plugins any demos or broken installs will cause popups even with block popups enabled. While it might be easy to clean up the directory and installs manually, it would be much easier if fl studio had an option to either move to a new directory "plugins #type (vst2, vst3 , clap etc..)" on a fail to do a regular verification - as a new option before scanning for plugins. While FL Studio has a do not reverify plugins option it does not have a an auto skip on fail you have to manually skip each hung verification, and the popups can take hours to clear if you have a lot of plugins. Also with some verifications if you are offline verifiy may fail and it may be a situation where I don't want to go online to renable plugins or cannot go online due to not having internet connectivity but still don't want to spend an hour manually bypassing all the online verification enabled plugins to use new plugins I have gotten. Also this is especially bad when moving old plugin drives to current use drives because any plugins that require registration will be broken. Manaully removing these when you are sifting through thousands of plugins can be time consuming an a batch method / auto process for managing these would be helpful in those situations.
While I understand that it might be expected to clear out old installs and broken installs manually the automated method would make quick verification - as well as preservation --- the option to even just have an #exclude on fail list that can be referenced like an xml or something so that any plugin in the fail list will skip being scanned a second time a bit like verified plugins. This becomes more of an annoyance to do everytime adding plugins if you regularly demo plugins and do so on a daily or weekly basis and need to rescan regularly. I would just like to scan the new plugins and use them rather than go through administrative verifications for the entire thing, even a "add to scan" by allowing a specific folder to be scanned and added rather than a full scan would help with this but the exclude on fail or / move to or uninstall etc.. would likely be better for plugin management.
The popups that are trigged with so many plugins are the problem as in some cases I would need to actually log into accounts or uninstall expired demos etc.. and it is more involved than pressing ok or cancel but over time it wastes a lot of time and gets more and more burdeonsome as they accumulate.
