reaper.TrackFX_AddByName() bug since v6.43 (FIXED)

[soulaccess]

The LUA function TrackFX_AddByName(track, fxname, recFX, instantiate) has a bug in it‘s string comparison since V6.43.

Example: passing the string „Klanghelm: MJUC“ or „Klanghelm: MJUCjr“ both add the same Plugin „MJUCjr“

Correct behavior (prior V6.43): passing the string „Klanghelm: MJUC“ adds the Plugin „MJUC“, passing the string „Klanghelm: MJUCjr“ adds the Plugin „MJUCjr“

Tested on MacOS Mojave

I came upon this too, but I don't know if it is a bug or not. It just changed how it works. If this was not intentional, then it is a bug.


For example: before, passing "Reaverb" would load Reaverb. Now, it loads Reaverberate. In order to load Reaverb, one must pass "Reaverb (Cockos)".
