Are you saying that Logic adds some of its own data to a preset (inside
the class info for
a preset?) I guess if the AU developers don't mind then I don't either.
But what happens
if Logic loads up a preset without this extra info? I imagine you apply
some sensible
defaults?
Yes and yes.
We want to encourage the idea of storing such presets in a standard
location.

I am somewhat concerned about the need to support this but it seems
limited to synth AUs rather than effects. However there is nothing
stopping us putting presets inside
preset group entries in the Preferences dictionary: E.g.

Agreed.

This sounds good, but I would think that you might want to tag the data
a little more
clearly? Something like: "vstdata"? There's already a "data" entry in
the class info for
the AU preset info.
There is already a data member. It contains the preset data of the
plugin. Nothing else for the data I get from the ClassInfo property. It
exactly the same, isn't it? If you have a Audio Unit ported VST plugin
and put your data into the vstdata key, what remains for the data key
to contain? Or do you say you use it instead of the data key, to
identify the data as a VST chunk. Then I would prefer to write the
chunk data to the data key and add a thrid key like 'vst' or
'vstsetting' to identify the setting as a VST compatible one. Then a
host, that does not care about the VST-Audio Unit compatibility issue
can handle all presets in the same way.
