Hello Rai Nuno Capela,
While searching for a linux-native 'long term replacement' for (wined) REAPER (as I use several Win-VSTs), I played around with QTRACTOR today.
I encountered a similar problem as StoneCut - whenever I go to View > Options > Plugins and look around for the (dssi-vst wrapped) DSSI plugins, none are listed. Pointing the dialog to my vst directory (/home/[user]/vst = standard search path) won't help. Neither does reloading the session, restarting QTRACTOR, logging off/on again.
FUNNY thing is:
If I add a new track and (right click) for the tracks' properties, opening plugins' tab, all my (dssi-vst wrapped) Win Vst plugins are existant and choosable :)
I can add which ever I like - all works fine and as expected then!
Again: I can use all my plugins and they work as expected - they simply do not show in the View > Options > Plugins dialog, no matter whatever I do.
So there seems to be a bug /problem in QTRACTOR's communication with dssi-vst?!?

qtractor version is 0.5.3-1 (from Debian testing repo)
dssi-vst version is 0.9.2-1 (from Debian sid repo)
wine version is 1.4~rc1-0.1 (from WineHq, compiled for Debian sid)
system is running 3.2.0-4.dmz.1-liquorix-686 #1 ZEN SMP PREEMPT i686 GNU/Linux
$VST_PATH is set (to /home/[user]/vst - which is correct)
dssi_list_plugins -v gives the whole bunch of plugins:
warning: DSSI_PATH not set, defaulting to '/usr/local/lib/dssi:/usr/lib/dssi'
-- warning: couldn't open DSSI_PATH directory element '/usr/local/lib/dssi'
-- scanning directory /usr/lib/dssi
/usr/lib/dssi/dssi-vst.so
RemoteVSTClient: all cache files are up-to-date, not running scanner
mda*Leslie.dll mda Leslie.dll VST
mda*TestTone.dll mda TestTone.dll VST
mda*SubSynth.dll mda SubSynth.dll VST
mda*Degrade.dll mda Degrade.dll VST
[...]
...and so on, and so forth...

Even invoking dssi-vst-scanner manually or renaming some vst .dll to force a rescan do not change anything for qtractor.

Anyway, I appreciate your program and will test it out a little further the next days :)

Cheers, Chris
