Massive X - is there any solution to make the preset list work in the meantime?

[GoaSkin]

The recent versions of Massive X work with WINE but the preset list remains empty. This issue is known since a couple of years now.

The reason is that there is a preset-scan routine which opens all preset files to gather some information to create a SQLITE database file (content.db) containing the preset information which is used by the preset browser - and if the scan is performed with WINE, the content.db database is incomplete after the preset scan - some tables are missing.

Replacing Yabridge by Carla, LinVST or vice versa does not change anything. Even if you run a Windows-based plugin host with Massive X inside, this behavior is the same. I also tried to configure WINE to get as much debug messages as possible but there isn't even a single function reported which fails while the plugin scan is being performed.

When Massive X 1.4 was out, nobody knew a solution or workaround. But do we know more in the meantime?

Something similar is with Knifonium, tested that (free demo), and no presets.

Sure ultimate solution for running windows plugins is separate windows machine (real or vm) and connect with audiogridder.

This is where my presets are located: .wine/drive_c/users/Public/Documents/Massive X Factory Library/Presets

For those unfamiliar with this oddball but fine sounding synth, the presets are a separate archive and a separate install.
Must have been Oktoberfest when they were coding the preset system Even win/mac users don't like it's capability
when finally installed.
