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

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

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 :D

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
