I am on macOS high sierra 10.13.6 and I get this "Where is SKProgressbar" Dialog. Do help. Thanks.

 

^ Same OS, same issue...

 

^ also

 

OK guys… I've done a bug fix !! You can now get 4.0.1 on page 1. 4.0 has been removed. I'll pretend it never happened !
Sorry for the bother.

 

4.0.1 works perfect ! Thanks !

 

This works with Big Sur? I used to have no problem adding in 5.6 and reading 6+, now with M1/Big Sur most of them don't work since they assign bloody "000" SNPID everywhere (except some librairies). And even when the numbers match, or after I make them match by editing the .XML, the bloody librairies will most of the time not show up when opening 6+ in Ableton...

I guess I'll have to try this or Kontacted 5.0, last chance...

Glad to hear it

 

I really don't think Kontakted 5 or any other version will solve your problem.
IMHO, Kontakted is a bit of a ripoff at $20 ! I bought V4 to see if it worked better than a solution that I had programmed myself, and apart from creating rubbish wallpapers, it didn't ! I have updated my own program to create generic "placeholder" wallpapers to be replaced with ones from the talent on this very site (you know who you are, people !). I shall surely be giving my software away here very soon, if anyone is interested. The longest part will be to find a silly name for it . Given it creates "nicnt" files (and an associated wallpaper), I could image "In the nicnt of time" or "Nicnt it from somewhere" or something silly like that

 

Hi Fred, thanks for the update. Both on M1/Big Sur and Intel/Catalina, it now gets all the way through the processing (including the number of items and the progress bar), but unfortunately, it doesn't create the actual rtf file on either system. No error messages.

 

Did you allow access, when it asked ? Does it appear in the apps in your Security Privacy Automation settings ? It should be allowed to access "System Events" and "Finder" if not it can't save files…

 

Brilliant. Thankyou for this great tool

 

Yes, it has access to both and also has access to Files and Folders

 

Hi, is it limited to 400 files in Service Center folder (the progress bar says "Checking the 400 files in...") ? I have +600 and it looks like it crashed? Nothing on my desktop. I am on Catalina 10.15.7. Any clue?

 

Don't mention it.

 

I can't test on M1 as I don't have access to one, however I'm unable to reproduce your problem on my Intel (I think we have the same machine more or less) either on Catalina or Big Sur. I did pick up a slight bug, or perhaps more an omission (and a typo !) in that if you "Choose the reports with the checkboxes below" (did you spot the typo ?), and then you don't check any of the checkboxes, you'll get a report with the title and header and the summary, but no reports ! OK. It's logical but a bit counter-productive !
I'm sorry, but I can't see how I could debug your problem if I can't reproduce it. Does 3.4 still work ?

 

I'm not aware of any limits, either for the Service Center folder or my software. I can only think that you may have a (some) corrupt xml files in your SC folder that may need to be added to the exceptions. You could always try a "binary" debug routine. Take half the files out of your SC folder and try again. If it works, take all those out and put back the half you removed and see if it crashes. If it does, your problem is in that half so start again taking to half of the remaining files and try again… etc. If you NEVER get it working however many xml files you have in the SC folder, your problem could well be elsewhere…

 

Nope, same exact symptom. It doesn't even appear to be creating the temporary file on either system.

 

Mmmmmm… so there's something on your machines doing that, as neither apps are working. As to what that could be, I have no idea .
Perhaps someone reading this might have a suggestion…

 

Hello Fred, thanks a lot for your time and your support. I tried the binary debug routine you described, and achieved to sort out the files that crashed the program. All files with a SNPID=000 crashed the program (and passed the program after updating the SNPID to an unused one).

Your XML looks OK to me but since the SNPID is "000", my software would cross-reference the XML in the Service Center with the NICNT file in the sample library folder and it could be that file throwing it ! Without seeing the actual files, its hard to judge. If the NICNT file was created by Kontakted (the XML is created by Kontakt 5's installer), you could try throwing the NICNT away and creating a new one and re-doing the installation. Bear in mind that you'll also need to throw away the two preference files (user and main - com.native-instruments.My Library Name.plist) and the SC xml files before re-installing or else you'll end up with duplicates, which will be a bit of a mess !
