too many people will even request xupito for suppreme guide
but,
you can add a global folder with all your libraries (based on nicnt detection)
it will go faster than one by one.

thumbnails of the NKS menu need a PAResource extract and rebuild (it is a few long to do)
https://bobdule999.wixsite.com/nicnt-insider
you have to install inNKX files in a fixed folder location, to get it working directlly from total commander everytime.
the first opening use the temp folder (deleted on close or cleaning)

the rack view menu will load graphics directlly (if official NKS nicnt files) from LibBrowser.png
or you can use wallpaper instead, it will replace the embeded graphic
the thumbnail view need MST artwork.png to be placed in C:\Users\Public\Documents\NI Resources\image\Library name
it need a little experiment with kontakt environement and total commander testing.

a time consuming activity. and not allways well extracted from setup installers, you have to repair it like this.
the NI repair method is made for installed libraries with PAResources in programs/common files
but extracted libraries come's without this part, it need a nicnt hack to extract the graphics.

shitty but makable.

I've just upgraded to a new laptop (MSI Vector 17 HX A13VHG, i9-13980HX, 64gb RAM) and every time I try and open Kontakt 7.10.1 (portable, VST3 version) in Cubase 13 R2R version it crashes. The laptop is brand new so there is no reason for this to be happening but I cannot figure out what is causing it. It happens with all projects, old and new. The VST2 version gets auto-blocked by Cubase so using that is not an option. The standalone version opens fine although the outputs are weird - 1&2 are my headphones for some reason and 3&4 are the onboard speakers. Maybe that needs to be changed somehow?

 

kontakt portable cannot be placed in "program files".
choose another place for kontakt portable folder (preferably on another disk).

 

I've had it in Program Files on two other computers prior to this one and never had a problem with it being there. I'll give it a try but I don't expect this will solve the issue

 

kontakt portablle need full read/write access to the main folder and all files/folders inside it.

 

Well I stand corrected, moving it to a different location worked just like you said. I still don't really understand why it can't be in Program Files but thank you for suggesting it!

 

because "Program Files" is a system folder and required administrator permissions to read/write files by any app in the same folder.

 

Slayer99...and anyone else having issues with your libraries from Kontakt 7 not being found in Kontakt 8.

Go to the C:\Users\Public\Documents\Native Instruments\installed_products” was hidden. I had to type it in and press enter to get to it on my system and delete the old *.json files. Once this is done, make sure any unused kontakt libraries are no longer in the registry.

Re-run the "Kontakt_Button.exe" in the Kontakt 8 folder and re-register your libraries. After this is done.. open Kontakt 8 and it should be fixed.

Let me know if this helps.

Is it just my system or is anyone else finding the newer format in Kontakt 7/8 insufferably slow to load instruments?

 

Nobody else experiencing this?
