I’ll chime in saying that probably it is not needed to know which exact lengths are used by Pro Tools: you could simply loop `strLength` from 2 up to the length of the full name of the plug-in.

I hope Pro Tools will be smart enough to cope with the probably duplicated names that will be returned by `getShortenedPluginName()` for that range of values.

Disclaimer: it’s just an idea, I haven’t actually tested this or experience about this specific issue.
