Released July 23, 2011

New Features

  • Now listing removable drives
  • New Options button at bottom of main window
  • Local plugin scanning: compares installed plugins to plugins used by project files
  • Missing plugins can be highlighted (ie. used by project, but not installed)
  • Plugins view can be grouped into installed and missing plugins
  • Default projects folder can now be set in options, or you can just let the thing remember and restore the last used folder
  • New Copy plugin report to clipboard feature
  • Plugin instance counts can now be included in clipboad copy (as suggested)
  • Configuration is now saved to plugview.xml upon exit.
  • Displays tempo (bpm) and signature (eg. 4/4) information in lower right corner. This works for Cubase SX2/SX3/4/5, Live 8.1 or higher, and Reaper 3 project files. Nuendo should work fine as well. Older Live versions are not supported.
  • Added support for Unicode project filenames

Improvements
