When installing au-plugins to my m1-mac the component files are invisible in Finder /audio/plugins/components but are there in MacCommander. Seems invisible to Garageband too.
And, yes I set invisible files to show. Grateful for any help.

MacBook Air (2020 or later)
Fiddled further by moving the component file with MacCommander (as root) to desktop and then it became visible.
Used Finder to move it back to Components directory and now it's visible, go figure?
I originally installed by using an installer but can't see why that would make a difference.
Still won't show up in Garageband but that's another issue.

Not that it should make a difference, but these two things do not add up.
/Library is the overall library folder
The one you get to with option-Go is ~/Library
Components in the overall library should be accessible to all users, the one in ~/Library belongs only to your account.
I will try to make some tests tomorrow - the thing that is bothersome is why those are not available in GarageBand.
Can you tell which specific plugins are involved?

Solved
A'm afraid the problem lied in my lack of knowledge to both file structure in MacOS and in Garageband which is new to me.
Sorry to throw trivial problems your way Luis and anyway I'm thankful for your kind concern.
Please tell us exactly the location where they are stored.
I'm testing with BC Free Amp.
After your info I copied the plug-in to /Library as well (thank you for pointing that out) but still doesn't show in Garageband?
Glad that you got it sorted out.
