- The <dfn>Plugin Manager</dfn> serves two purposes. Primarily it is used to control the display status of plugins. It can also be used to find and insert plugins into the <a href="/working-with-plugins/processor-box/">Processor Box</a>. It is displayed either by a double-click in the <dfn>Processor Box</dfn> or by choosing <kbd class="menu">New Plugin > Plugin Manager...</kbd> from the <dfn>Processor Box</dfn> context menu.

- Displayed for each plugin is the status (normal, favorite, hidden),
- name, type, category, creator (author), and the number of audio and MIDI
- connections. The plugins can be sorted by clicking on a column header.
-</p>
-
-<h2>Plugin Display Status</h2>
-
-<p>
- Click on a Fav(orite) or Hide radio button to change a plugin's display status. Clicking on an already selected radio button will cancel it, returning the plugin to the normal display status. Plugins marked as a favorite show up in the <dfn>Processor Box</dfn> context menu under <kbd class="menu">New Plugin > Favorites</kbd> and in <dfn>Favorite Plugins</dfn> pane in the Mixer window. Setting the hide radio button on a plugin will keep the plugin from showing in the <dfn>Processor Box</dfn> context menus <kbd class="menu">New Plugin > By Creator</kbd> or <kbd class="menu">New Plugin > By Category</kbd>.

-
-<h2>Filtering Listed Plugins</h2>
-
-<p>
- The middle of the <dfn>Plugin Manager</dfn> is used to filter the listed plugins. Typing into the text-box will filter the plugins based on the filter mode selected by drop-down box. Clicking <kbd class="button">Clear</kbd> empties the text-box.
-</p>
-
-<h2>Inserting Plugins in the Processor Box</h2>
-
-<p>
- The bottom half of the plugin manager shows plugins that have been selected
- for insertion into the <dfn>Processor Box</dfn>. A plugin can be added by
- either double clicking the plugin entry in the top half, or, if already
- selected in top half, by clicking <kbd class="button">Add</kbd>.
-<p>
-
-<p>
- Plugins can be removed from the bottom half with a double click, or, if
- already selected, by clicking <kbd class="button">Remove</kbd>.
