guys i tried with the utility tool but maybe i am failing here too XD....do i have to set it like this right??? can someone explain?? cause i only find 1 kit from Taped

 

Openin cmd as admin and then running "java -jar flare-arcade-1.0.0.jar" seemed to fix library importing for some reason (fingers crossed still).

Importing is slow as hell. It's probably just a Java thing but I'm sure my 970 Plus and 32 cores could handle much higher speeds

EDIT: aaand the GUI glitching came back after third import was done

The thing that makes the import so slow is not copying the files to the content folder but the database getting rebuild several times during the import process. I think it gets rebuild for every single kit that is in included in the line that you import (for example in chopped there are a dozens of kits included and the database seems to be rebuild dozens of times too).. You can see the database file gets deleted and rebuild a lot of times while importing..

 

6. Is not necessary. Its just desciptions of the lines/kits no need to highlight when importing. Running java not as admin is what leads to the new kits not showing up as it prevents the database to be rebuild as you need admin rights to change any files in the program files folder in windows..

 

So I have moved my (already installed content from previous version) from within the plugin, to an external ssd. The existing content is 48gb. So now I want to update the lines and kits I don't have by importing from Flare content. So I place the content on the desktop and direct the import from the utility tool to the content folder and press import. But I get invalid import destination error. What am I doing wrong. I'm on Mac Catalina BTW. Thanks

 

when i open logic with arcade plugin it crashes....why??

 

Codesign the component and app

 

how to do this?? i tried to do sudo chmod to open it in terminal...but when i open Logic and add arcade it crashes

 

sudo codesign --force --deep --sign - [root]

 

THANK YOUUUU <3

 

Almost done importing, am I supposed to export both kits and lines or only kits? Getting really mixed signals from the readme file.

 

Lines and kits don't need to be exported unless you're planning to move them to another directory or to send them to someone else. In the future you'll be able to export your own custom made kits so that's really the only reason its there.

 

Thanks a lot, that makes sense

 

Seen some people say that these kits are not in the utility tool:
Sazón
Taped
The 60s
Zero Hour

They don't need to be shown in the tool to be able to import them and you don't need to select what kit you want to import when importing from the list. The list gets updated automatically when you import new kits.

The list is there for people who would like to export them, you just select what you want to export, specify the location and click on export.

The reason the utility tool is "so slow" is because it modifies a file and adds/changes thousands of lines to it for each single file. That's 100,000+ files so yes its expected to take some time to import each kit.

 

Hey Flare thanks for awesome upload
Can you explain what exactly I'm doing wrong with the utility when trying to import your content? I have kits & lines available only up until I stopped subscribing months back so wanted to update with your content. Thanks mate.

 

I have to admit that nowadays I have got way too used to things happening in the blink of an eye, sorry about bitching about the speed and everything else and thank you for your efforts.

 

You need to specify the path where the downloaded content is.
Below is an included screenshot that shows how the paths should be

 

Thanks!! I now see the error of my ways XD. Kudos for this near impossible release!

 

Also, for anyone who complains about this, we can't do anything about this:

You can only view your currently added lines/kits in the search menu as that's the only menu that will work offline. Yes it is a pain to search through them but that's the only thing we can do about it.

 

The release has been fully tested on multiple windows PC's and Macs for some time and it worked perfectly without any errors. We also tried importing our own samples by dragging them on to the keys. So it could be user specific errors people are having.
