Where should v1 presets be located so that subsequent versions can find them?
I have a bunch of presets from v1 Fabfilter plugins, which are location in their original location (e.g. ~/Library/Audio/Presets/FabFilter/FabFilter Twin)
However, presets are now installed in ~/Documents/Fabfilter - e.g. Twin 2's presets are now in ~/Documents/FabFilter/Twin 2
Twin 2 supports showing "V1 Presets" in its preset menu, but whereabouts is it looking for these presets? Twin 2 doesn't find them where they're currently located (~/Library/Audio/Presets/FabFilter/FabFilter Twin), or if I copy them to the Documents folder (~/Documents/FabFilter/Twin).
Where should they be located?

Hi Vance,
To create a V1 Presets item, Twin 2 is looking for the v1 presets folder in the location set in the preferences saved by the previous Twin 1 installation. You can just put your Twin 1 presets in a subfolder in the Twin 2 presets folder.
If you really want the V1 Presets item, you can recreate the Twin 1 preferences file by opening Terminal, and typing:
defaults write com.fabfilter.Twin.1 PresetFolder "/Users/<your user name>/Library/Audio/Presets/FabFilter/FabFilter Twin"
Note that the ~ won't work here, you have to substitute your user name instead.
Cheers,
