Add 32/64bit info to VST properties

[Milton Sica]

Recently I discovered that it is possible to identify if a DLL was compiled for 32 or 64 Bits, as shown below.

I ask if it would be very difficult to make this information more "humanized" in the Plugin's properties screen.

I believe that this implementation could help us migrate more easily to using PLUGINS that are already compiled in 64 bits.

The browser already shows this by colour.

you can also see the 32 or 64 bit in the FX browser. and i also use the VST Inventory program to periodically collect the plugins registered with CW

You say VST2 or VST3 which appears on the right in the include menus ?

Or this ?

Is this 32-bit information placed by Cakewalk or is it already contained in the description of the DLL itself?

The Inventory Tool was folded into CbB Tools for v2 released in 2021. The current release of CbB Tools is available from this post

The latest v1 versions of all the tools including the Inventory Tools are still available from my Google page (the same link as in the post above). I just downloaded the zip for the old v1 of the Inventory Tool from my Google page. It appears to be v1.4 from 2018.

Both. I'm sure the Browser is reporting info from the plugin itself. They are also identified in the Cakewalk installers.

Or if you have Theme Editor you can also use this:    which is color coded to the FX Bin dropdown list.

Import it to: Browser | Plug-in Browser | Plug-in Tree Icons

Thank you all. Yes, there are already several ways to identify 32/64-bit PLUGINS.

In addition to the excellent tools and colors, I found the one that follows in Browse plugins more direct and enlightening.

The PE  L & PE  d check also seems to work on the standalone .exe versions.

How did you know what to look for?
