Live 11 sloooooow vst scanning – Page 8 – Hosts & Applications (Sequencers, DAWs, Audio Editors, etc.) Forum

Interesting tool. I tried it.

It shows this (Related to Ableton Live)

Ableton Plugin Scanner.exe is scanning
and Ableton Index.exe is running and indexing something. What is this (from Procmon) interesting find, it says that Ableton Index.Exe is scanning through all my sample libraries, and sometimes (from Procmon) it results in success and sometimes in “path not found”.

Whenever “path not found” appears I see in Procmon that this is related to “Ableton Folder Info” folder and a file in it called Properties.cfg

As if Ableton is trying to find this file in all of my sample folders and there is none. Perhaps that’s the reason for slow VST scan? I mean maybe Live is reindexing on the first Run and after this process is done then it tris to scan VST folders for change?

FYI in my Live preferences, I turned off “Create Analysis File” so I am not sure what is it that Live is trying to find.

Is there a way to “reset” this indexing and to make it stop or finished?
