When hitting play in studio mode plugins do not stay active, and have to be reopened.
Similarly on occasion when launching studio, the plugins do not load, and have to be reopened, even if they were open prior to exiting studio.
A peer has also informed me that on his end, occasionally drafts does not open, even if it was open prior to exiting studio.
Expected behavior
What I would expect to happen is the plugins remain where they are positioned and remain open if we have not closed them
Thanks for the report! We’ll follow up when we have an update for you.
Hi, some plugins (by design) no longer open in Play mode to speed up play solo mode. You can change this in Studio Settings->Settings->Test->Load all built in plugins/Load User Plugins. By default some plugins are no longer loaded, but enabling the checkmark will revert behavior to have them in play mode.
Hey, I have that setting enabled but this still happens for other tabs too, not just plugins.
For example, the Drafts tab frequently doesnt save when exiting and loading back studio.
The live collaborators also doesnt save when going into play testing and then stopping playtesting as shown in this video:
