Stack v1.0.11

Plugins page: search & table view

The Plugins page now reads like a proper table — aligned columns with a header row — and has instant search across plugin names, vendors, and paths.

• Search your plugins instantly by name, vendor, or install path.
• New table layout with a column header — Format, Name, Vendor, Path, Size, and Type line up in proper grid rows.
• The plugin counter shows how many match your current search and filter.

Stack v1.0.10

Plugin manager: smart uninstall & Windows support

The Plugins page now finds every plugin automatically — VST, VST3, AU, CLAP and AAX on macOS and Windows — and can fully uninstall a plugin, sweeping up presets, preferences, caches and other leftovers.

• Delete any plugin right from the Plugins page — Stack finds its leftovers (presets, preferences, caches, vendor data, even iCloud copies) and shows exactly what will be removed before anything is touched.
• Deleting one format offers the others too — remove the VST3 and the AU / VST / AAX copies of the same plugin can go with it.
• Files in system folders are removed with a single administrator prompt.
• CLAP and AAX plugins are now detected alongside VST, VST3 and AU.
• Full Windows support — all standard folders plus the registry-configured VST2 path are scanned, and registry leftovers are cleaned up on uninstall.
• Plugin rows now show vendor, size on disk, and which other formats are installed.
• No more folder hunting — every standard plugin location is scanned out of the box; extra folders moved to Settings → Plugins.

Stack v1.0.9

Massive indexing & search speed-up

A ground-up performance pass for huge libraries: indexing is over 15x faster, search runs on a real full-text index, and duplicate samples no longer vanish from your packs.

• Indexing overhaul — a 290GB library with 164,000 files now indexes in about 2 minutes instead of 30+.
• Instant search — queries hit a full-text index instead of scanning every entry, so results stay snappy even in six-figure libraries.
• Duplicate samples fixed — byte-identical files in different packs each keep their own entry instead of silently replacing each other.
• Killed the hidden re-index loop that made Stack re-process thousands of duplicated files on every launch.
• Browsing and deep scrolling are dramatically faster thanks to a new sort index.
• Lower memory use while indexing — huge DAW project files no longer spike RAM.
• Ableton .als project info is now read correctly.

macOS — "damaged" warning
If macOS says Stack is damaged and can't be opened, run this once in Terminal:

xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Stack.app

Then launch normally from Applications.

Stack v1.0.8

Favorites folders & drag-to-organize

Organize your favorites into colorful folders and file samples away with a single drag.

• New Favorites folders — create, rename, and color them right from the Favorites page.
• Drag any sample, MIDI, or preset onto a folder (from Browser, MIDI, Presets, or Favorites) to file it away — it's favorited automatically.
• Drag multiple selected samples into a folder at once.
• Favorites is now expandable in the sidebar, with a live file count on every folder.
• Give each folder its own color — pick from the palette or choose any custom color.
• Fixed scrolling on the Favorites, MIDI, and Presets pages.
