    That is a personal choice. Some like the "look" of the wallpapers others, like myself, prefer to have them grouped by instruments. I find this method easier when you have dozens or 100s of libraries. For example, you can have folders labeled "Drums", "Bass", "Electric Guitars", "Acoustic Guitars", etc., and inside each one of those folders you can have the Kontakt libraries for those instruments. In other words, the libraries become sub-folders. And you can have the MAIN folder customized with the wall paper of your choice. It makes it easier to find what you are looking for. If you need the MAIN folders with wallpapers I can supply them to you. Below is an example of a Main folder (STRINGS) and its respective subfolders

    I create NICNT, make or download a wallpaper, put them inside a new folder and move all the respective libraries to that folder.

    Photowhat? :dunno:I don't even bother with it. I have never used it. I just grab whatever image I can find. When it comes to making music, those wallpapers, AFIK, do not come into play.

    I organised my librairies by instruments tabs which is more easy to me but sometimes it's very slow to open the tabs and the individual libraries inside, to see what's in there I get the wheel going on, well at the end it works but it's a bit annoying: anybody getting this behaviour? Thanks

    Ok thanks I should try that, I heard that when updating Kontakt some people lost their Quickload organisation but maybe it's not the case anymore...

    May I ask how do you do this? I'm on Mac by the way. Any links to a basic tutorial or video would be even better!
