    Hi Everyone! :D

    For a while I have had a problem with only 1 library "Amazound 2600 Reloaded".
    It will show and run from the "QuickLoad" but even with .nki files in the folders,
    2600 Reloaded will not display in the library tab.
    Any folders that appear there in the library tabs for it are empty.

    So many days trying different approaches to no avail.
    Well appreciated for any help to get the instrument,
    banks or whatever I can get to appear in the library tab.
    Jeff :)
    Each of the samples folders has a template.png
    BUT no .nkr or .nkc, etc. in any level. Can they or need they be created?
    Thanks Greatly for the help.

    Here is the folder structure of 2600 Reloaded:

    Amazound 2600 Reloaded
    ==>Documentation (Folder)
    ==>2600 reloaded.nicht
    ==>wallpaper.png
    ==>Instruments (Folder)
    ====>Bass (Folder)
    =======>Samples (Folder) (wav)
    =======>Bass 01.nki~etc
    ====>Keys (Folder)
    =======>Samples (Folder) (wav)
    =======>Keys 01.nki~etc
    ====>Lead (Folder)
    =======>Samples (Folder) (wav)
    =======>Lead 01.nki~etc
    ====>Pad (Folder)
    =======>Samples (Folder) (wav)
    =======>Pad 01.nki~etc
    ====>Perc (Folder)
    =======>Samples (Folder) (wav)
    =======>Perc 01.nki~etc
    ====>SFX (Folder)
    =======>Samples (Folder) (wav)
    =======>SFX 01.nki~etc
    ====>Synth (Folder)
    =======>Samples (Folder) (wav)
    =======>Synth 01.nki~etc

    Probably the .nicnt is homemade and/or too old

    Wait, the library shows in the left column (wallpaper)?

    Hi Xupito!
    Only empty library folders show in the left column.
    The right column containing the Quick Load - which breadcrumbs and drills down
    to the .nki files in the selected folder
    such as "bass 03".nki to open up a .png and soundin on the keyboard.

    wow
    that is strange...
    Xupito you have the same files in the 1st/2nd tier or do you have .nkr, etc. I don't?
    bob is tops for sure. I use a vkDan.
    My libraries are grouped in folders with a nicht file and wallpaper cover for the category inside to locate the folder and contents.
    Such as all my electric guitars are in one folder etc. the side left side only shows the wallpaper cover for say GUITARS and then subfolders for electric, acoustic, etc. with the particular KT library within it.
    offtopic... that Tina S can shredd!

    the Xupito folder use and show Instruments
    nki's are in a Instruments folder

    in the other case it show browse, so there is no instruments folder in the library root.
    it is badly packed.

    You're right but @hokkaidojef seems to have the same folder structure than me.
    Anyways seems like he has it working now after an instrument resave and some other things so all's good.
