Lightbulb PlugIn Scanner for Mac - Identify Plug-ins running natively on Apple Silicon Macs
Hi everybody - I have put together a macOS helper app :
drive.google.com/file/d/1Y5myOomVW7Kz1uVveSf0KaZRjjPaG1UA/view
that helps identifying 3rd party plug-ins that are currently not running natively on Apple Silicon Macs (so yes the opposite of the thread title - it did not really make sense the other way).
In essence it scans your system for installed plug-ins and spits out a report that identifies the plug-ins yet to be ported to run natively on Apple Silicon Macs.
Usage Instructions
Before you start, copy the 'Plug Scanner' utility from the disk image supplied to your hard drive, for example to your Applications folder. Avoid running the utility from your Desktop, Documents or Downloads folder as this may cause issues on some systems.
Default mode:
1) run 'Plug Scanner' and follow the on-screen instructions.
2) The plug-ins report will open on screen (and saved next to this utility).
Important: the first time you run 'Plug Scanner', you will need to control / right click it and choose 'Open' in Finder’s contextual menu to override the operating system restrictions.
Please note that this utility is still in development and may not identify all plug-ins' architecture correctly, nor provide a complete list of non-native plug-ins. There are currently a few known manufacturers that cannot be detected accurately, and support for those will be added soon. See Read Me for known limitations (that will be addressed in the near future).
Without further ado, here it is: PlugIn Scanner

As always, if you find it useful, pick a charity and drop them a few quids (the app's colour scheme should bring some options to mind, but the choice is yours).
And remember to check out UAD PlugIn Cleaner if you are not yet a user!”
