Perhaps the following could be tidied up...

I've been rationalising my plugin paths so that they're all located in a small part of the file hierarchy, specifically F:\Samples\VST2 and F:\Samples\VST3.

Whilst doing this I've noticed that sforzando appears multiple times in the choose-plugin dialog, and if I click on each entry, I see different paths for the entries.

There's no option here to remove/exclude the duplicates.
In the Plugins Option dialog there's an option to exclude them, but no means to tell which is which.

In practice I found one duplicate and removed the file. After shutdown and restart of BiaB, I was down to the sensible one copy, so I suspect the third instance was caused by a file link.

I'm sorted, but the process within BiaB felt particularly clumsy, especially with the modal dialogs involved.
