Hello, sorry if this question has been asked and answered previously. Like most of you, I have many song files. I would like to search my song and rack folder to determine how songs or racks contain specific plugins. For example, how many songs contain SampleTank or contain a rack that contains SampleTank. Windows search does not seem to work with these files, even though they seem to be JSON files. Yes, I have configured Windows search to include content in the search. Does any one have a solution for this? Am I missing a built in Cantabile feature that will accomplish this?
Thank you
First you should take a look at the setlist verification feature - beides identifying issues with your songs, it will generate a section “usage” that shows which plugins and racks are used in your songs. Definitely a good start…
Simply put all your songs you want to analyze into a setlist and Run “verify” on it.

Thank you Torsten, that will work.
I heartily recommend the free Notepad++ program. I regularly use its Find in Files feature for things like this. I have all my Cantabile projects (i.e. different bands and such) in separate folders under C:\Cantabile projects. Notepad++ lets me specify the folder to search, which lets me search under specific projects or globally through all my projects.
