    Well, I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt with some grace as perhaps it's a translation problem, but s-clogging the thread with this kind of thing doesn't really make one wonder why the creator of this great utility in Fred Bloggs is not as active in either answering or fixing things, as your replies there made little sense to me and others.

    Ok, that isn't clear to me, we don't know what you used previously. Therefore, we can't aid you on this lacking more specificity.

    And this could be due to either something lost in translation, in an admission to having not following the thread, the faq's, the information, and offers of help here, or your not "even finish to develop your problems" (?), or perhaps petulant and rude, and perhaps some comment regarding something about not telling 'you' anything 'bout education'.

    I did not say you were not educated, just apparently you are not in some respects on both how this utility and other aspects of how this all works, or given the nature of your response, and how one generally receives going about asking for specific help on this site.

    People like to help here. That's what we do. But there is a bare modicum of information, communication, and decorum asked for that in return. :yes:

    What issue? iirc, upon running KLU2 for the first time, it asked for my cpu login pw on a computer I am an admin on, and I gave it, as I read Fred Blogg's KLU2 manual, text files, and thread comments regarding it.

    Never been a problem or an issue... perhaps if you ignored that on first boot, and for some reason there is no way to add it now, I would just reinstall KLU2 I'd imagine...

    Hi guys, searched the entire forum for the term "Load Category File" and found no results. Could anyone explain how this works in KLU 2.4? The button would be super useful, but it doesn't seem to do anything. A feature request would be the ability to export the example category file as a .csv so it can be modified, them imported back in with the changes. That would make it easier to bring in categories across multiple computer setups (and just easier to modify altogether in google sheets)

    Edit: A "Location" field would be awesome since I am sure many of us store libraries across both internal and external drives. I like to sort my libraries by this first so it does not look so sparse when my external drives are disconnected... then it would be great to sort by instrument category, etc.

    Just checking this out and I've dropped a folder from an external to the NICNT drop area and it's telling me "It seems likely this library is not installed"

    When I click on the button to install this library in Kontakt, that UI element gets lighter and then nothing happens. I've tried many folders for libraries with the same result. Have read the docs for Version 2.4.0, so:

    The 3rd party libraries are on an external drive and some libraries there show as already installed within Kontakt (7). Anything else I can try to get that button to work, or should be doing?

    How have you installed libraries previously?

    I've never seen the "It seems likely this library is not installed" dialog. And if I did I would imagine it was from a bad source and redownload it etc... be sure to "remove" the nicnt from your library in KLU2 first, or perhaps try that now and try again.

    All of my libraries are on external ssd's. And still using HCiSO 7.10.x latest.

    Are the libraries that are "showing" added with some other tool or utility or are they libraries that do not require licensing from draconian NI bullshit etc?

    Edit: will just delete kontakt and just keep using legit software and stock daw devices. Can't buy them all, so just wanted to try some libraries a bit longer before buying and this is too much runaround. Appreciate the help though

    @Fred Bloggs
    Hello to everyone and to Fred. I would like to apologize in advance for my English.

    I am also experiencing this strange behavior. Additionally, I get the following error when I try to change the SNPID: "Sorry! I had a problem doing this. A permissions problem, maybe?" I don't actually need to change the SNPID, but since it mentions a permission problem, I think it might be important.

    About my setup: I'm using an M3 Max MacBook Pro with MacOs version 15.5, Kontakt 7.7.0 by HCiSO, and KLU version 2.4.0 (version 1.1 doesn’t work at all — I receive a message about an OutOfBounds exception and the app crashes immediately). I want to install three libraries: Noire, Cinematic Studio Brass, and Cinematic Studio Strings. These libraries are from Rutracker.

    I have a Service Center folder inside the Main Library (although I created it manually). This folder is completely empty — there are no XML files. It used to contain XML files from Arturia and Waves, but I removed them. Also, I don’t have any .plist files in the Preferences folder that refer to Kontakt libraries.

    I’ve tried reinstalling both Kontakt and KLU, but that didn’t help. I've also re-downloaded all the listed libraries, but that didn’t resolve the issue either.

    I've used Permission Reset 2.app to reset permissions for KLU, Kontakt, and related folders such as Main Library, Preferences, and Service Center — but still no luck.

    All my libraries are stored on an external SSD (a Samsung T7 with 2TB of storage), but the libraries still won’t install even if I change the library location to the internal Macintosh HD.

    I've also tried using Kitty Scripts, but it doesn’t work — it fails to open a Finder window and says I have an invalid library path.

    I've attempted to use Add Library v3.app and v4.app, but neither of them even starts up.

    Can you please help me? I've tried everything I can think of. I've read through this forum twice. Please, any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    Forgot to mention. If I try to Batch Install Libraries i get an empty log file. And at start up KLU says this:
    You don't appear to have any installed Kontakt libraries on your computer
    You can use NICNT Utilities to install some by clicking on the "NICNT Utils" button.

    I cant attach any PDF's cause KLU doesn't generates any
