Hey guys,

I was looking for an answer to this and found this awesome forum. I'm glad to be a member. I'll try to be thorough with my question (maybe too thorough)

I'm in the process of overhauling my Kontakt libraries and am looking for a way to assign a wallpaper to every instrument in a particular library (Not a library tab wallpaper).

I know how to add the wallpaper via a script and Resource Container on a per instrument basis, but can't figure out how to do it for an entire library and I have almost no Kontakt scripting experience.

I've tried just dropping a wallpaper.txt file with the same script that I would use in the \Resources\scripts folder with the png/txt file in the \Resources\pictures folder, but that was just a stab in the dark. I've tried doing this with libraries that I have installed using both methods (*.ncint file and registry edits).

The library I'm currently targeting for this would be EWQL Symphonic Orchestra Pro. This library consists of 69 nkc & nks files and 3,418 nki files spread between 4 libraries (Strings, Winds, Brass, & Perc. The current dir structure for each library:

Code:

<EWQL Strings>
<instruments>
<sub><sub><sub>
*.nki files
<multies>
<sub><sub><sub>
*.nkm files
*.nkc files
*.nks files

I'd like to consolidate these 4 into one library like:

Code:

<EWQL Symphonic Orchestra>
<1. Strings>
<instruments>
<sub><sub><sub>
*.nki files
<multies>
<sub><sub><sub>
*.nkm files
*.nkc files
*.nks files
<2. Winds>
<instruments>
<sub><sub><sub>
*.nki files
<multies>
<sub><sub><sub>
*.nkm files
*.nkc files
*.nks files
<3. Brass>
<instruments>
<sub><sub><sub>
*.nki files
<multies>
<sub><sub><sub>
*.nkm files
*.nkc files
*.nks files
<4. Percussion>
<instruments>
<sub><sub><sub>
*.nki files
<multies>
<sub><sub><sub>
*.nkm files
*.nkc files
*.nks files

I've done a consolidation by creating "EW Symphonic Orchestra.nicnt" in the main folder and adding that library and the structure is perfect. I just want wallpapers to brighten my day a bit.

I'd be glad to share any of the finished wallpapers or files when complete.

 

Thanks for the reply. I know how to add a BG image on each instrument. The issue is that there are 3,400 nki files in this library. I was hoping for a global solution.

 

Exactly, Mattmckay nailed it.
