Sounds reasonable. Does it solve the problem I had with the initial scan? Maybe there is an easy way to trace the plugins that had already been scanned and omit them in subsequent scans (in case of a crash).

Scanning of each plugin produces the various device mapping, device definition, preset and parameter objects. To be able to skip rescanning plugins in case of a crash, then it’s necessary to save the project template file after each scanned plugin. I’m afraid that is going to slow down the scanning process noticeably.

I’m curious: How many crashing plugins do you encounter during a scan of your complete plugin collection?

Once a plugin has crashed, Podium will put it on the quarantine list. Future complete scans will then skip these crashing plugins. So the problem should only exist the first time you scan all your plugins, unless you manually remove the crashing plugins from the quarantine list.
