poluted lmms file ?

When I open my project, there still seems to be some vst leftovers. Easy Q.
I removed the plugin from my song but still see it when I load the song.
I am on Linux, does anybody have a solution how I can remove it ?
Edit:
I already tried to open the file with a few txt editors, but that failed. ( it does open but its garbage)

This might be a stretch. I don't know if this will work, but since you removed the plugin, try to save the project, or a copy of your project.
Then restart Lmms and reopen the project.
I had that same problem years back, and this is what I did to solve it, in Win 7 64 bit.
Hopefully it works.

I used the safe as new option. So I cant remove the plugin anymore from lmms, but its still there.
One solution would be start a new song, and do a lot of copy paste from one piano roll editor to the other in the new song.
I do suspect wine causing this issue. ( wine is what linus uses to load .dll files)
I am hoping I can use a text editor.

If you save the project as a .mmp (not .mmpz) file then you can read/change it with any XML editor (if there are any Linux ones). But you have to be careful, it's easy to mess it up.

what Steve says, you do need a code-editor. you cant use 'Word' or similar.
(You can upload, and i will (try to) fix it for you :)

Thank you guys. The first thing I did, before I tried anything was make another copy. ( because the file opens fine )
@ musicbear its already uploaded, I have been ignoring this issue for a while now because it still opens just fine.
Me asking for feedback, and brandystarbrite saying he saw a lot of easy Q errors, he should only see one, reminded me of this minor issue.
Now I will go on the hunt of a code editor. Its the kind of thing I first like to try myself.
It brings back memories, were I used a hex or code editor to change .dll files. (making custom campaign for a game, Alien vs Predator2)
If you want to look at the file its this one:

For others on Linux. After saving as mmp, Kate opens the file just fine.

This is not so easy as I hoped lol
Is this the part I want to delete ? I see this three times and the first two prob need deleting.
Code: Select all
<vsteffectcontrols program="0" guivisible="0" plugin="EasyQ.dll" chunk="VkMyIRoBAAA8RXF1YWxpemVyIFBhdGNoRm9ybWF0PSIyIj48QmFuZCBNb2RlPSJQZWFrL0RpcCIgRnJlcXVlbmN5PSI0OS4zNTk4ODIxIiBHYWluPSI5LjQ1NDU0NTQ1IiBCYW5kd2lkdGg9IjQiLz48QmFuZCBNb2RlPSJQZWFrL0RpcCIgRnJlcXVlbmN5PSIxOTU0NS44ODY0IiBHYWluPSIxNS41MTUxNTE1IiBCYW5kd2lkdGg9IjMuNTM1NzE0MjkiLz48QmFuZCBNb2RlPSJQZWFrL0RpcCIgRnJlcXVlbmN5PSI1MDc5Ljk5Njc5IiBHYWluPSIxLjkzOTM5Mzk0IiBCYW5kd2lkdGg9IjQiLz48L0VxdWFsaXplcj4AAA=="/>
<key>
<attribute value="EasyQ.dll" name="file"/>
</key>
</effect>
Or should I just change guivisibility to 1 ( so I can delete it then in lmms ?)
I wonder if I need to delete this line too ?
Code: Select all
<effect autoquit_numerator="4" autoquit_denominator="4" syncmode="0" autoquit="1" gate="0" name="vsteffect" wet="1" on="1">
This line is above the previous part I posted.
