    Everything was working fine with Kontakt 7. Decided to try the latest Kontakt 8, because of few libraries that don't work in 7.

    Now most of my custom installed (.nicnt and KLU 2.4.0) libraries don't show the thumbnail. Some also display the full long folder name as their display name, which is definitely not nice.

    This happens annoyingly also in Maschine (3) and Komplete Kontrol. Weirdly, some (like the ones shown below) do work?

    The libraries itself do work and the patches all load using Kontakt 8, but the OCD in me can't handle if I can't get the artwork back :no: Kontrol MK3 also shows the large graphics on screen, so it definitely finds the images inside NI Resources / Image.

    Mac, latest Sequoia.

    Product X Library (no good)
    Product X (good)

    the custom install seems wrong, using a content folder name instead of the product name only.

    I think what Bob is saying is unless your library is called, for instance, "Feel It Library" everywhere, it won't work
    From the nicnt till the folders, like this

    "NI Resources/image/Feel It Library"

    The fact that Kontrol can find them and Kontakt not is indeed puzzling. They do use different images, I think.

    Where are they located, do you know? And also - some of these came with NI installers, and were installed like that ”XXX Library” - and that did work in K7…

    The thing is I'm on Fentanyl... sorry, wrong forum... I'm on Windows, the details in Mac are different though they have their equivalent.
