V-S-TreeTrimmer (easily manage your VSTs folders!)
V-S-TreeTrimmer is like a master arborist for VSTs — detangling the vines and revealing the true root structure of your entire plugin collection. For VST3, VSTi, and VST-based DLL files, it lets you trim your folder chaos and transplant everything into a clean, unified root directory of your choice.
Okay, enough tree puns. 🌳😅 — Here's the rundown.
This application scans directories VSTs are commonly placed in, including Program Files subfolders like Common Files, Steinberg, and VST, or other developer specific folders containing .vst3 or .dll files located within the C:\ drive. — For the .dll files, the application reads a few lines of code from each, ensuring only actual VST plugin .dlls are included in the user's list.
V-S-TreeTrimmer enables users to locate VSTs across various folders, to be easily moved (copied) to one final location. Automatic separation of VST and VST3, and options to include subfolders for developer names makes this a useful tool for anyone trying to manage VSTs on the Windows PC.
Useful for:
- Finding every VST on your device and additional drives
- Managing all VSTs inside a custom folder
- Copying scattered plugin files into one consolidated directory
- Sorting and organizing plugins by format (.dll, .vst3)
- Sorting and organizing plugins by developer (with format separation)
