Does X1 automatically select the 64 bit version of a plugin if both the 32 bit and 64 bit versions are in the same window's directory? 

I thought it scans both....

I keep my 64bit plugs seperate ... and actually don't bother scanning the 32bit equivalent.
So if I'm using a 32bit  plugin on a 32bit computer at school and bring the file home to my 64bit comp it opens automatically the 64bit version.

But ... If on the 64bit computer has scanned the 32bit version as well....
when I open that school file on my 64bit comp at home it opens the 32bit version via bitbridge... hence why I don't bother with scanning 32bit version.

Hope it makes sense - just woke up.....  

It does and thanks. I am switching from 32 bit to 64 bit and didn't really want to have separate all the dll's, but it seems I have to.

Not necessarily -
Just use the Plugin Manager to remove the ones you don't want to show up.

I hear you, but not all of them have anything differentiating them in their name.

I always custom install each VST so I can deselect the 32bit version and only install the 64bit VST and stand alone versions. That is IF the installer lets me.

Since going 64 bit I try not buy or download any 32 bit VSTs.

That's one very good reason to keep 64 bit under Program Files and 32 bit under Program Files (x86)

Most exe and dll files have headers with info about version, bitdepth etc..

On Windows, context click on the file, select properties, then select the details tab from the properties dialog and look for x64

Hi David,

FWIW, I like to have totally separate 32Bit and 64Bit VstPlugins folders.

C:\Program Files (x86)\VstPlugins_32Bit
C:\Program Files\VstPlugins_64Bit

This eliminates any confusion... and it allows separate control over scanning.
