Export plugin list to csv or text file?

[MartinC]

Years ago someone posted a tool either here or on the old presonus forums that would export a list of installed plugins?
Does anyone have a method or link (I don't want to rely on screenshots)?

How do you all migrate from pc to pc? Is there something less time consuming than installing everything from scratch?
Do you keep track of your custom presets and macros (maybe save them all to a NAS or mounted cloud share?)

How do you all migrate from pc to pc? Is there something less time consuming than installing everything from scratch?

No, that’s basically how it works. There isn’t really a faster way than reinstalling all plug-ins from scratch and backing up the presets for each one. I usually saved my plug-in presets as Studio One/Studio Pro presets, so at least I only had to migrate (copy) the Studio Pro preset folder. For this to work, you typically need to install the plug-ins in the same format (e.g., VST2 vs. VST3). Some VST3 plug-ins can load presets from their VST2 versions, but that depends on how well the plug-in developer implemented this.

Unfortunately, it’s not a completely straightforward process, and depending on the number of plug-ins you have, it will likely take a few afternoons.

There is a 3rd party tool for Wintel machines that can find all VST's and fix issues with NI/Kontakt plugs for example: UltimatePluginTool - https://ultimateoutsider.com/downloads/
