The function KnownPluginList::scanAndAddFile triggers an assert when it scans a plugin which has a non-ASCII manufacturer's name, like Crazy Diamonds by Rumpelrausch Täips.
The assert is triggered because VSTPluginInstance::fillInPluginDescription creates a char[] buffer to contain the manufacturer's name, so it crashes when it tries to copy that buffer in the "manufacturerName" PluginDescription member.
Triggered assert is from juce_String.cpp, line 331: https://github.com/julianstorer/JUCE/blob/master/modules/juce_core/text/juce_String.cpp#L331
Faulty call is from VSTPluginFormat.cpp, line 805: https://github.com/julianstorer/JUCE/blob/master/modules/juce_audio_processors/format_types/juce_VSTPluginFormat.cpp#L805
Am I doing something wrong, is there a way to tell KnownPluginList::scanAndAddFile not to do that ASCII-check?
Thanks for your help.
