Mess with the *.vcv files and how to resolve it

Hello there and friendly greetings! I have come to have +3k vcv patches on my computer and I start to get lost. There are patches of every kind, there is even the very first one I ever made in VCV Rack! :heart_eyes:

How do you catalogue, track, sort and manage your patches and everything that orbits around VCV (selections and presets) without getting lost in the ‘maze of madness’? Assuming you need, as I do, to keep track of, sort and manage all the material produced with our beloved software, of course.

Thank you in advance and have a great weekend, y’all! :+1:

Dang. That’s a lot. :sweat_smile: I tend to just clean things out every now and then. But if you wanted to save everything I suppose the first step is subfolders. Instruments, sequences, full songs, etc etc can get separated, which may help a bit. Maybe sort things by time created somehow, IDK.

Yeah, folders are key with some sort of hierarchical system for how you want to organize things. Naming is the other, you could organize patches by key, bpm, etc or type of patch.

Looks like you are looking for a file/document management system.
