Default Reaper's VST plugin wrappers and dealing with presets

Hey all! We're trying to write some scripts to help automate some tedious processes. One thing we'd liked to do is to be able to programmatically set the preset for a given FX plugin. This works fine and well for plugins that have their presets saved out to .RPLs and other plugins whose presets are displayed as "VST-built in programs" but there are a fair amount of plugins out there whose presets are either not displayed in Reaper's plugin wrapper or simply show up as <disabled>.

We've done a fair bit of experimenting and searching but haven't really found a way to get those presets. We're kind of thinking that this is mostly on the 3rd party plugin developers who are not making their preset structure available to DAWs

Thanks in advance for the help!

You nailed it. It is the exact core of the problem. I'm afraid there is no solution for most cases of this nature...
That's why some users requested a way to save plugin preset as standard preset :

Hey dude!

Thank you so much for replying to this and confirming our suspicions. We found a simple mouse/keyboard recorder and wrote a script and BOOM! Quick and easy .RPL generated. Now presets are available via script!

Could you please be so kind and provide a link to the script?

Hi Kylevs,
did not see your thread earlier.
You can have a look at my fun project if you do not mind Python.
https://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=230714

I reengineered a bit to load FXP, VSTPreset and NKSF files directly via script into reaper. Its still a bit unstable, but basically works.
Maybe it is interesting to you.
