Rescan of USER LIBRARY ?

Post by kc80 » Sat May 23, 2020 12:26 am

Im installing a bunch of max for live stuff and organizing it into my user library. Creating alot of new folders etc.

But the regular rescan button and alt-click "deep" rescan doesn't work. Restarting Live is not even working.

You may have to just give it some time.

It should happen in the background automatically but can take some time for new items to appear if there are a lot of files to sift through. Just be sure you don't do something silly such as adding your entire system drive as a user location as sometimes system files in use can cause the scanner to get stuck. Only have folders that have samples and data you actually need in Live.
