    OK, I ran into the first problem; It seems that not all plugins are loaded into the library. I have quite a few (mostly free) plugins and they are in a fairly large directory structure. When I rebuild the library then two plugins are put into the quarantine list but others are missing still.

    Also, when I update the library (instead of rebuilding it), it creates several duplicate submenus in the insert-menu.

    I’m going to set up a dedicated directory with plugins to see if it will work correctly then.

    I had a security check in the scanning code that allowed a max depth of 4 subfolder levels. I’ve now increased this to 8.

    Yes. The database update will append new mappings (with their subfolder location) to the end of the list. You can either select to rebuild the database, or manually organize the new mappings into the desired folders.

    OK, so rebuilding my directory structure (planned, will be less levels deep) might solve this for now. Is this increase in a new free version ?

    That’s the problem I’m running in; when I choose ‘rebuild’ it seems to ignore previous blacklisted plugs, do it all over again and crash when encountering those. Then after restart I get the message they are blacklisted and I have only the option to rescan, as rebuild will do it all over again.

    Well, this too will be prevented when I rebuild my vst-folder (I’m doing a big clean-out) 😉

    Aah, read your reply again; I can reorganize the mappings in the menu? Seems I have to hit the manual 😀

    It will be in Free 2.33.

    A rebuild of the plugin database should not reset the quarantined plugins. The crashing plugins are listed with full filepath in the “PluginQuarantine.txt” file in the setup folder. If you move the plugins to another folder, then they will be scanned again.

    hi, i’m new to podium free and I got the same problem.
    The scan process were doing ok, detected and imported all of the plugins but I can’t find some of my vst plugins in the list.

    I’ve tried to rebuild and update the database and no plugins were quarantined in the black list, but still I can’t find some of my vst plugins (mostly free) in the plugins list. I also tried to import plugins from folder but no luck, they’re still missing 🙁

    thanks and sorry for my bad english

    love podium free so far, great apps 😉

    I don’t like Grizzly because it POPS audio, even when it’s bounced. But make sure you have the proper version of grizzly because I have used Grizzly in Podium. [although as I said I don’t like it at all]

    I tried both 1.0 and 1.1b, and each ran fine.

    I’m not sure what to say. Paging Dr. Nielsen…

    problem solved, installed the older version (v1.0) which has no multicore support and finally loaded into the library last night 🙂

    btw, I use grizzly just to make glitchy back sounds

    thx for the replies
