How to make your own UDR templates (.plists)


this will help you to create your own UDR templates in seconds ;-)

1. Open UDR and Authorize with your account password.


Note: Your account must have administrator rights.

2. Select the Capture Host Application in the Pop-Up menu.

Here you can select: AudioUnitHost, Logic Pro, Pro Tools and MaxMSP.
If you use AU-Plug-Ins as your main plug-in architecture, choose AudioUnitHost as host capture application because
AudioUnitHost will not open as many files in background like Logic Pro or Pro Tools does.
Even if you use the RTAS or TDM version of the plug-ins, the protection files not differ from the AU version of that plug-in
so we can use the AU version for the capture function and capture the same files like the RTAS or TDM version generates..
Optional: If you want, you can add more capture hosts to UDE by adding the process name
in the catureapp.plist, inside UDR`s application bundle.

3. Open AudioUnitHost and select your plug-in that you want reset.
after that, close AudioUnitHost.

4. Select "Start Capture Events" in UDR.

the "Start Capture Events" Button will change to "0 FSEvents captured"
this will start the build-in fslogger and let fslogger wait in background for incoming filesystem changes for the selected capture
Application.

5. Start AudioUnitHost again.

AudioUnitHost will load the last plug-in selected in the last session.(The plug-in you selected in step 3).
if everything goes well you see that the count for the fsevents will go up. normally a number between 180 - 350 events will
appear.

6. Close AudioUnitHost.

This is important because some plug-ins write new files, attributes only when you quit
the host application and we want all changes captured ;-)

7. Save the template UDR creates for you.

to save the plist template file click on the "... FSEvents captured" button again and a
save dialog will pop in and ask you for the title of the plist.

save the plist with your title.


After saving, UDR will choose that saved .plist file automatically in the products pop-up menu for you.

8. Remove all Protection files from your harddisk.


The last step will remove everything (files, folders and attributes) that was created by the plug-in you selected in step 3 .

click the Remove button to invoke the demo remove.

9. Done.

For the advanced UDR users:

UDR has some more options in the file menu.

Log Window: This will open up the log window, in this window you can see all actions done by UDR like:
removed file paths, removed attributes and even discovered attributes or hidden folders that UDR has detected for you.

Rescan: Will invoke the UDR file and attributes scanner again and shows all found pieces in the main window.
UDE will do this automatically when you change a product or when UDE comes active.

Open XML in Plist Editor: this will open the selected product plist in your plist editor.
tip: on a regular install of os x no plist editor is installed, you can use the development tools from apple that comes with
"Property List Editor" or use the shareware PlistEdit Pro.
If you need some detailed information how the XML format is structured use UDR´s Help menu and select XML format help.

Open Product Folder in Finder: will show you the products folder in finder where all the templates aka .plists are stored.

Import FSEventer Log: With this option you can analyze and add values from FSEventer log files.
this files are saved with FSEventer and have the ending .log, UDR will analyze and convert these files to a valid plist
that UDE understands.

Filesystem Logger: here you can see in detail what the build-in fslogger has grabbed for you.

Start AudioUnitHost: this is a shortcut to the AudioUnitHost Application, select it and AudioUnitHost will startup immediately.
