M+ / Maschine 2 Default User Content Path
Something I don't understand is why the default Maschine 2 user content folder is not under the path Native Instruments/User Content.
Library path
- /Shared/Library/Native Instruments/<product>
Typical NI product user content path:
- <user home>/Documents/Native Instruments/User Content/<product>/
Current Maschine 2 user content path:
- <user home>/Documents/Native Instruments/Maschine 2/[Projects|Groups|Sounds]/
Expected Maschine 2 user content path:
- <user home>/Documents/Native Instruments/User Content/Maschine 2/[Projects|Groups|Sounds]/
If the user content folders for Maschine 2 were located in the actual User Content folder, it would make user content management much more understandable and straight forward. This would also translate better to the Maschine+, because there, the Maschine 2 folder is currently in the library installation path, which generally is not intended by NI (or the operating system) to hold user content.
Library path
- /Native Instruments/<product>/
Typical NI product user content path:
- /Native Instruments/User Content/<product>/
Current Maschine 2 user content path (looks like a library path):
- /Native Instruments/Maschine 2/[Projects|Groups|Sounds]/
Expected Maschine 2 user content path:
- /Native Instruments/User Content/Maschine 2/[Projects|Groups|Sounds]/
Actually, the current "user" paths for various NI products are quite confusing, because some products use <user>/Documents/Native Instruments/<product> and some use <user>/Documents/Native Instruments/User Content/<product>, while some seem to use both locations.
I'd appreciate, If anybody can share some insight on the reasoning behind these path choices.
