Scanning - Scan your entire Plugin protfolio now in a matter of seconds

Wow, that is fast! Solved a mystery right away for me with the new Vital update and where the VST(2) was installed.

Zoom with the Search and Sources dropdown is a little weird for me. Windows, 4k monitor 125% scaling. I had the zoom turned up a little (a handful of clicks based on clicking on '-' and nothing was visible when I typed in 'vital'.

Edit: Feature request: Find my plugins that have another version installed. For instance: VSTs that have a VST3 version. VST and VST3 that have a CLAP installed. AAX that have a VST or VST3 installed.

Hi

Thanks for the kind words, glad the faster scanning helped track down that Vital install!

On the zoom + search issue, thanks for the detail. We've had another similar report at high DPI scaling on Windows, so I've added it to our list to investigate. In the meantime, using Reset Size in the Setup panel should get things back to normal if it's getting in the way.

On the duplicate detection feature, that's a great idea and a few people have asked for something similar. It's on our list to look at. In the meantime, akind of workaround is to filter by two formats at once (e.g. VST and VST3) and sort by plugin name to visually spot the ones that appear in both. you can then tag and offload.

Thanks for all feedback, much appreciated.

Regards, Oliver

a software like this, clearly heavily created using AI BTW...

Why do you assume this?

And who cares, anyway? Coding is one of the least objectionable uses of AI.

It's not so objectionable unless it's one of those vibecoder devs who know absolute fvck all about doing any actual coding.

What i would like to see is the ability to tag plugins with more then one category and the following has been bugging me for a while:
how about having the ability to create and manage "sets" — so that when I know I'm starting a 100% mixing session, I can load such a set beforehand, making only my mixing/mastering plugins available in the DAW for more focus. Another time, if I'm in the mood to work exclusively with eg. Arturia and a few things from Tokyo Dawn, I just load that set instead. This way I could put together "sets" depending on my mood and vibe. It would also work against GAS, because you can deliberately limit yourself and work more focused.

Currently, it's possible to "offload" multiple plugins at once using filters, but the reverse isn't possible that simple — "onloading" them requires tediously clicking through each one individually.

Hi, couple of quick points

1 try tagging (or bulk tagging) plugins with a note. call the note Tokyo Dawn for example. The search incudes notes so you can search Tokyo Dawn, tag all and offload onload in groups.

2. same thig for restoring, you can search on a tag/note and then just tag all to restore.

Might not be an exact match for your request...but getting close

Thank you, will try that!

This is a great idea. Worked well for me. Moved about 2 gigs of files off my boot drive very rapidly.
Thanks so much for this!

Why do you assume this?

Plenty of details, anyone who got hands on AI knows the subtle but very obvious issue they do.

A good example: on 1.1.0 (if im not wrong) have you realize you can select all but not unselect all. A small but very classic "AI would fail this while human would not" type of small mistake.

Even the look and feel, like when it scan plugins, while you have a cross on top-right corner instead of a cancel button. Typical AI stuff.

And who cares, anyway? Coding is one of the least objectionable uses of AI.

My point was absolutely not about AI (and I use it all the time and fine with it), my point was: in the world of AI, monetizing this is rather slim to none.

I tried for fun to scan Clap, VST, VST3 and AAX in a similar way (in Rust, aka opening the file, extracting name, effect type and so on), was working on the first try for both mac and windows. Litteraly 10min. The rest is just a normal UI that could you redo in less than couple of days max, and a folder move which is trivial.

So when I hear they want to monetize this, the margin is very small for that to happen. It's just one of those utility that would have a possible monetization before AI, but in today's world, it's more of a dream than a reality.

Cool and useful tool though, I absolutely don't deny this.

Excellent app. Many thanks.
