This script is a tool to organize FL Studio plugins by vendor name (Eventide, Roland, Korg, Arturia, etc.) It copies the plugin files from the default installation folder to a user-defined folder (or one I made that is easily accessible), creating subfolders for each company/distributor.

Requirements

  • Python 3.11.4 or higher
  • FL Studio (any version, I think) installed on Windows (Tested and made on Windows 10 64-bit)

TO-DO: Make sure it's not only compatible for the C: Drive by default (FL Studio's Plugin Database.)

organizeEffects.py, organizeGenerators.py, or organizeEffectsAndGenerators.py

USERNAME in the folder paths should automatically be set to your Windows username. if not, run the organizeCUSTOM.py script.

organizeCUSTOM.py - You choose both paths.

BEFORE RUNNING ANY OF THE PYTHON SCRIPTS

Once you're done with the steps below, you might see some Fruity plugins on the "New" VST folder. Just delete them. Most of them start with 'Fruity'; should be easy to spot.
