Cubase & Nuendo Project Plug-in Reporter (CNPPR) (Windows)
Cubase & Nuendo Project Plug-in Reporter by Phil Pendlebury
Important! You will need to update this application's plug-in cache file!
I have included my plug-ins already scanned but there will be plug-ins in your collection that I do not have
To do this go to the PLUG-IN REFERENCE CACHE section
- Select an application from the drop-down list
- Click the Update Plug-in Reference Cache button
- The plugins that you have installed in that application should be added to the cache
- You can check the number of plugins found by looking at bottom left of the screen "Number of Cached Plug-ins" (I am not sure how accurate this is yet)
- This only needs to be done once, or if you add any new plugins
- Once this is done, the rest is simple
Go to the section
PROJECT SCANNING AND REPORT section
- Select a Project (.npr .cpr .bak)
- Once your project is selected, the Scan Project button will light up green, click it
- You will see the report on the right
- Once the report is made the Export Text Report button will light up green
- You can now export the report as text file.
More Info:
Unfortunately, I can find no way to report number of instances of each plug-in
The plug-ins seem to show up multiple times and my counting method does not work
Also finding the list of plug-ins was tricky. I am searching in the following:
PluginManager.xml
User-maintained list from Cubase/Nuendo’s Plugin Manager.
Contains both VST2 and VST3 plug-ins with IDs.
Vst2xPlugin Infos Cubase.xml
Auto-generated VST2 plug-in info cache.
Contains paths, names, and VST2 IDs (fxID/UID).
vst3plugins.xml
Lives under Cubase Pro VST3 Cache (or Nuendo Pro VST3 Cache) inside the version folder.
This is the full VST3 cache, with <plugin> and <class> entries containing CIDs and names.
There’s also a shallow vst3plugins.xml directly in the version folder, but we ignore it unless the cache one is missing.
There may be a better way to do this but as it is, it seems to work.
