so it dumps everything from the vst folder into a new folder, is this correct?

[DZA]

Does it just back up the .dll file or does it back up all the sound library and shizzle aswell?

wondering this
like if doing a fresh windows install will this save me the nightmare of reinstalling all my plugs etc?

Looks like it would to me, I think the only problem you would have is if the VST had registry entries but I imagine only big expensive plugins would possibly need to use them...

But yeah, big ups Trip for the nice upload

exactly why i wrote it

@dza ... it copies either .... all the files in the selected folders ... or just the dlls it finds to a new folder

I imagine only big expensive plugins would possibly need to use them...

exactly .... will have a look see if i can write something to back up the reg entries to .reg file

might not be very accurate as i would be searching for anything containing "vst" and tbh some of the enteries might be well hidden / named something other than VST

yeah a new folder you specify when you click save

*should add a restore to multiple dirs option for v2

[tripaddict]

bump updated to v1.0.0.1 (now with restore function)

[Basic A]

Solid googlin n I bet you can find all the reg keys for N.I. n Papen shit, I cant think of any others that would even have reg...

Nice one though man, now make something that dumps sample folder too, and life will be good.

[Subside]

To bad you didn't make this a couple weeks ago before I lost everything on my PC. Good one though!

[deadly_habit]

will test like you asked via pm but do you have a nix or just code version i can test?

[tripaddict]

theres no linux version just yet ... but if i get chance ill port it tbh i didnt think you could use vsts in linux

there's no CLI interface yet but might add this later just pure GUI for teh n00bs
