organizing plug-in browser

Does anyone know how to change the category of a plug-in in the browser in Samplitude Studio 2023? When I set it to "Category" it puts almost everything into "Other," which is not very helpful for sorting - how do I make sure the distortions get listed under "Distortion," the reverbs get listed under "Reverb," etc?

@psychojosh13 I assume the problem is, that the VST plugin developers didn't include a category property inside the plugin, so Samplitude cannot determine to which category it belongs

I guess you need to manually edit the VstPlugins.ini file in a text editor and change the categories there. I believe the standard location for the file is in the Samplitude folder inside the C:\ProgramData\ directory.
