moving instrument patches within the User Library

Post by Grill Pheiss » Sun May 28, 2017 7:36 pm

seems hellish - even doing something as simple as renaming a FOLDER, and poof patches in the folder won't find their relative samples anymore. solution of pointing to possible samplo folder works but gets extremelly cumbersome with large number of individual patches within the same folder


moving folders around within the user library, let's not even get into that -

anyway... by design? why? am I doing something wrong? is there a step I'm missing?

More accurate to say "there should be a better way"

Because that browser leaves a lot to be desired when it comes to users managing content, etc. It's not good.

wow ok...

so it's another one of those "that's how it is in Live"

truthfully I'm getting tired of this b.s!

sorry, didn't intend this to be a rant but what has it been, 4 years since version 9?

if 10 ain't addressing the basics I'm dropping Live altogether (and it sure looks like it won't)

too much time wasted versus time gain and I can't stand juggling beetween two daws just to overcome Live's shortcomings
