Can you bulk Batch Re-save libraries? It is good to do so after relocating?

in Native Access

I understand that you're supposed to do a Batch Re-save when you move a library. If I move 69 libraries from my Mac HD to join the other 230 or so on my external SSD, there's no way that I know of to select just the relocated ones for Batch Re-save.

I tried to Batch Re-save 130 libraries when I had a computer problem. It took 4 days and then aborted the process due to an error. ugh.

Any advice on how to best manage this?

    @LPKEYS There's no need to batch resave a library if you move libraries. You should only relocate the files with Native Access, then open Kontakt in standalone.

    Thanks for the response.

    PLEASE, let me know if there is a Batch Relocate button that will be added to Kontakt. I need it so badly…!

    I have about 69 libraries on my internal drive that I want to move to my external SSD. I don't want to get into .plist editing. There are too many places that Kontakt has its tentacles into.

    Thanks,

    @LPKEYS Well, I've already answered the question. You only have to use the relocate all in Native Access.

    I need to be able to Choose which libraries to move - only 69 will fit on the 16TB SSD. Some need to remain on the mac pro. Sorry I didn't make that clear.

    I believe that currently I would have to relocate one at a time.

    Yes, I received your answer about Batch Re-saving.

    @LPKEYS Thanks for the clarification, yes indeed, you'll need to do it one by one.

    Please make a suggestion to development that an option be added to Select specific multiple libraries to be moved - not just Relocate All, or One by One....

    Many reasons exist for this to be important to many musicians and composers.

    Thanks,

    Moving libraries is not something you'd be doing over and over and over again, unless you were poor at planning your disk usage.

    There are a lot of other things needing fixing in Native Access. Things with a higher priority, such as the spinning circle of doom that happens for some people after an NA update.
