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.
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 ?

Also, when I update the library (instead of rebuilding it), it creates several duplicate submenus in the insert-menu.
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.
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 😀
technogremlinI have to put in some more time with Podium to really get to what’s missing, but I’ll post my five:
1. ‘Complete’ support for my US-2400 (probably MCU-mode) that includes the ‘control-strip’ mode; switching the US-2400 to control-strip mode gives 24 rotaries to control a full channel-strip (4-band para-EQ, sends, pan, etc.) on the selected channel.
2. Single-click select VSTi-patches in the inspector for faster preset auditioning.
3. Preset-selection on the actual VST(i)-window.
4. Some form of pattern-sequencing natively implemented.
5. Mixer snapshots; the ability to save/recall several alternative mixes to be able to compare them.
It’s possible that one or more of these are already in Podium but I missed them 😀

For the users that work with a $1000 Tascam US-2400, I don’t think a $50 Podium license should be an obstacle. 😉
You have a valid point there of course, but it is a bit skewed; Not everyone that has such hardware does so because they can afford it easily. I had to save up for a long time, and limiting my expenses in many ways to be able to get one. I have a very nicely utilized home studio now, but it took me 10 years to get that stuff together.
Although I’m currently in the financial position to get a Podium license if I want to, I don’t buy something to see if it fits my workflow, and then just abandon it if it doesn’t. I do agree that a Podium license is fairly cheap, but it is still money 😀
But as I said, it’s just a suggestion 😉
