Plugin Version Reporting Script (Mac Only)
 
I'm not sure how folks are working out what plugins and versions they have installed but I've had a shell script for a while that reports plugin versions and I've cleaned it up and made it available here. http://www.darrylramm.com/plugver/index.html.

plugver.sh is a shell script for Macintosh computers that reports the versions of Pro Tools AAX, RTAS, and TDM plugins installed. You can use it to list the versions of all plugins installed in the default plugin directories, or plugins that have been moved to the "(Unused)" directories, or anywhere else. Or you can just get the version info for one plugin.

This is stupidly simple, but I find it useful. I have no idea if there is anything similar kicking around. I'd rather see something *simple* like this provided by Avid, or supported in Pete Gates' PT Prefs.

Code:
$ ./plugver.sh
----- /Library/Application Support/Avid/Audio/Plug-Ins -----
Plugin                                      Version              ShortVersion        Copyright
BC Phaser 3 AAX(Mono).aaxplugin              3.3                  3.3
SignalGenerator.aaxplugin                    19.6.0d370          19.6.0.370
BF-2A.aaxplugin                              18.10.0d1452        18.10.0.1452

BF-76.aaxplugin                              19.6.0d370          19.6.0.370
...(lines deleted)...
Eventide/UltraChannel.aaxplugin              3.3.4                3.3.4                Eventide Inc.
----- /Library/Application Support/Digidesign/Plug-Ins -----
Plugin                                      Version              ShortVersion        Copyright
BIAS FX.dpm                                  1.6.9.3713.Release  1.0.2                PositiveGrid
BIAS.dpm                                    1.6.3.5102.Release  ?                    PositiveGrid
BIAS Pedal.dpm                              2.3.3.5467.Release  1.0.0                PositiveGrid
...you get the idea. Please let me know of any problems.

Hey Darryl,
Yes it is useful and something that I lost in the transition to 64 bit. I will get it up and running and re-incorporated when I get the chance! But thanks for this in the meantime.

Cheers,
Pete

fyi- if you paste the results into a text file, you can use the "import" feature of excel to import and organize. select "fixed width" in the options and it'll separate each row into the proper columns so you can sort by name.

Latest version of my app has plugin version checking reinstated.

Cheers,

Here's an alternative, an AppleScript that I coded in September 2018 but (I think) never shared. It saves a .csv file of all installed AAX plug-ins on the desktop.

N/A

Neat stuff, but I encourage most folks to just use Pete Gates’ PT Prefs that now includes plugin info reporting as discussed above. Anybody else who needs to make or modify their own plugin reporting or manipulation scripts could use the AppleScript or shell code here as a starting point.
