Hi all,
does anyone know how to assign a graphic/thumbnail to a VST that has no gui.
ie: the VST can not be opened to take a screenshot.
Is there a folder where the screenshots are saved, and a settings file is that i can examine?
OS: Mac (Big Sur)
Thumbnail for VST with no gui?

While on the subject of vst thumbnails was wondering if there is an easier way of assigning thumbnails to vst's? The reason I ask is I just updated from ver 10 to 11 suite for $168.00 "thanks to the posters that gave me a heads up about the deal" and it was a pain in the ass doing the screenshot capture process for the 150+ vst's I now own. I would have thought that perhaps reason had some sort of a cache file that it could read from as to make the screenshot refresh unnecessary. Anyway after that ordeal I think its time to go on a vst diet and downsize.
I always try to copy/backup the pictures. Between normal Reason and Suite is just a different folder, so you just need to copy them. That is something that RS really missed...WOO wrote: ↑05 Mar 2021While on the subject of vst thumbnails was wondering if there is an easier way of assigning thumbnails to vst's?

File locations here:
viewtopic.php?f=4&t=7514631
Even if it doesn't have a GUI, I think you can take a screenshot so that a file is created, so then you can replace that image with that file name.

but this location:
macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Propellerhead Software/Reason/Plugin Screenshots
does not exist in Mac "Big Sur" , there is only ~/Library/Application Support/Propellerhead Software/Soundbanks
And, you can not take a screenshot of a VST that doesn't open it's gui, ie: click on the "open window" button does nothing for this particular VST. ( yes the VST itself works fine

Thanks anyway, hopefully someone comes along with an answer for Big Sur.

Thanks a lot all for your help![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)

Ok , maybe this helps:
1 -> stick VST in the rack
2 -> "File -> Export Device Remote Info"
3 -> open txt file ^
4 -> create those 2 files "vst.dev.InstrumentName_browser/device.png"
5 -> win?

Excellent!
I got stuck a week ago after i tried the steps from the other thread, cause the names i found in that folder were not making any sense, as i had no idea what the name/information for the VST i was trying to fix should be.
But now with your additional steps, i managed to find out what name i should use, and i have successfully created custom snapshots for this GUI-less VST.
Finally all looks neat and proper in the browser and the rack.
Thanks!!
