Export an .txt file overview of a project

Cubase
1

As this data already exists in a Cubase project, it would be great (especially when “backing up project”) if a .txt file would be automatically created with a listing of the VSTs that are used, what the system is, and a listing of the tracks.

It doesn’t have to be styled or anything, just a plain text file. It would help when opening old projects and shouldn’t be a hard thing to program.

Here is an example of something that InDesign creates:
