I need to make sure all my parts have the solder mask fix that was required when upgrading to .12

I am on .14 and ready to move up to .15.  However, I do not recall which parts in my 7 fpx libraries were done with FP designer.  How can I tell by inspection?

Do you have an automated script that will fix all?  There are 50-100 parts to sift through all together.

The updated pad stacks only refers to Solder Mask and Paste Mask on FP Designer parts.
 
It does not include any Calculator parts.
 
Steps:
  1. Open the FP Designer Part
  2. Select the Pad Stacks toolbar icon
  3. Select a pad stack
  4. Select "Add Layer"
  5. For SMD parts add: Top Mask and Top Paste
  6. For PTH parts add: Top Mask and Bottom Mask

If you can't figure it out, send us your FP Designer parts and we'll update them immediately and send them back to you.
