When I open a Carla session, the plugins are not opened

[brucerothwell]

I have a session with pluguns set up, and they are opened on screen when I save the session.
However, when I re-open that session, the plugins are not opened on screen, so I have to go open each one manually.
All 48 of them.

probably you are on Windows.
probably Carla needs to Run in Administrator mode always,
or wont save when you save.

Same issue here, but on a VERY specific setup : Raspberry pi 5 with RaspiOS Lite 64bits, with Carla 2.5.9 running through a FEX Emu RootFS (Unbuntu 24.04).

Can anyone please confirm this doesn't happen on other systems with this Carla version ? I'm trying to have multiple plugin setups that I can switch by changing projects, so Carla not remembering which were open/closed defeats part of my purpose.

FEX Emu RootFS

RootFS
maybe problem is FileSystem emulation.
without more information about your system is hard to guess.

try running in $ sudo mode all

or maybe problem is permissions:
$ chown your_user:group * -R
$ chmod 666 for files that do Not execute, 766 for executable.

or install Ubuntu for ARM

• x86 emulator
  or compile Carla for ARM,
  problem is plugins,
  or running Wine-dev, required to compile or run x86_64 VST's

If want to run old 32-Bit VSTs for x86_64
the "best" option,
is to run Proxmox Port for ARM,
and install a Normal Linux for x84_64 or ReactOS

x86_64 emulators
have different methods:
seamless integration to host OS,
windowed "VM inside OS", and
VM is the OS.

the Fast Method like Wine or Proton is to translate windows api calls to posix,
does Not have to emulate a whole OS, performance loss is minimal.

Qemu and others like: PCem, 86Box, etc...
emulate a complete CPU/System,
proxmox is a very small virtual machine running Qemu,
the OS is a VM,
Not like Normal VM:
VirtualBox, VMware Fusion / Workstation Player, Parallels, etc...
that run a whole OS inside another OS,
is more like VMware ESXi, that VM is a light weight OS.

DosBox is Not a complete system,
DOSBOX-X seems to be a hybrid between DoxBox and 86Box
ReactOS is a complete OS, API compatible to XP or NT only for x86
