    I have about 200 soundbanks for Omnisphere - but when I go to the 'Directory' button, and then select 'User Directories', it displays a vertical menu of the folders (it used to display a box with all the folders in, when I had about 100 folders), and when you press on the down arrow at the bottom, it SLOWLY scrolls up the list of folders, and all the text is corrupted as it goes up the screen, so you can't even read what folder you are on - but worse than that - it takes me literally two minutes to get to the last folder.

    Is this what happens to everybody else here? I am using version 2.8.2c of the software.

    Oh, and to top it all - every time you go back to the 'User Directories' button, (well, it's a link more than a button) it start from 'A' at the top all over again! We wouldn't want it remembering where you were last time, or anything as useful as that, would we...

    I've found a solution, I go into the 'Directory' box and select 'All', then in the 'Category' section below this, it displays the folders of soundbanks, so I can just select the folder and then I see the patches listed in the box below and can select them from there. I just wondered why Spectrasonics had chosen such a ridiculous way to display the folders in the 'User Directories' flyout menu - presumably they thought nobody would actually have more than 70-80 folders (I don't know how many are displayed exactly, but I have a 4K screen so it's quite a lot) and they just implemented whatever (utterly shit) library displays folders and didn't even bother to test if it worked properly or not.

    It's probably ironic, at least; for me to say this. Because it is Omnisphere. But, many virtual instrument synths begin running less than optimally when a ton of user banks/sample content are added. How they each do this could relate to directory structure; in which case you really wouldn't want a folder within one directory with 80+ sound banks being indexed/looked at by the program every time you are loading a patch.
