Native Access - Relocate All not available

AlexH

My PC was setup so my Native Instrument content was on G:. Native Access File Management was configured as so:

My C: drive died, so after installing a new drive and then going through the process of installing a new OS and Native Access, I was under the assumption I could point Native Access to the content on G: and it would start using it.

Sadly, this isn't the case. When configuring Native Access File Management to the above picture, refreshing, closing/opening Native Access and restarting the PC, all content has the option of "Install".

If I click the ellipses for a piece of content, I have the option of Locate:

This allows me to select a location where the piece on content is. If I select Content, then I get an error:

If I select the specific folder:

I get a success message:

When I go to another piece of content, it ignores my initial setting of G:\Native Instruments\Content and instead uses the setting of the last piece of content I manually installed:

Manually selecting the appropriate folder works, but the problem here is that I have over 200 pieces of content. Am I expected to do this with every piece of content??

I read about a Relocate All option, but that does not appear for me.

How do I have Native Access read what I already have on a hard drive, without having to manually specify the folder for each individual piece of content?

The "Relocate All" only works for software that's already installed then moved. It doesn't work for an initial installation unfortunately. It's been requested a lot so it might appear at some point. At the moment you have two options. Relocate everything one at a time (hard work), or if you have a decent internet connection you could redownload everything overnight. You can only relocate the libraries by the way, you still have to install applications and Maschine expansions.

Thanks, mykejb.

A strange design choice, but it is what it is. At least I’m not loosing my mind by not being able to locate the “relocate all” button.
