custom plugin folder

[loretoparisi]

Currently, I'm loading the VAMP plugin from the default installation folder, that in macOS is $HOME/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Vamp/, so I load a specific plugin by key like

segments = vamp.collect(data, rate, "segmentino:segmentino")

This works ok. I would like to know if there is an interface to specify a custom plugin root folder.
I would like to have both libraries for darwin and linux i.e. the .dylib and the .a files in one place or organized by platform.

I can see that there is a get_plugin_path api, but I don't see in collect or load_plugin if there is any way to set a custom path as the plugin root folder.

You can set the VAMP_PATH environment variable, as described at the bottom of https://vamp-plugins.org/download.html#install
