Can a Licensed Player Library instrument be renamed in the Library Browser?

It seems unlikely, but…

When you install something like Foundations -Emotive Choir, the name is too long to be shown in the Library Browser, and to make matters worse, NI gave all the Foundations instruments the same Browser artwork, so when browsing it's a pain to tell which one you want, and just silly to have a name you can't read. So, would be nice if, like with non-player libraries, you could simply rename it to something shorter that would be visible in the limited space. Obviously, one could redo the artwork if desired too.

Anyone know if this is possible?

    Hi @Outcast it's not possible to add a custom image atm, but you can definitely rename the libraries.

    Just rename the folder, then use the "Relocate All" button in Native Access to point it to the renamed folder.

    Incorrect. You can add custom artwork easily. It is renaming the libraries that cannot be done (on the Player Licensed libraries, you can do it on non-player instruments).

    AFTER:

    With my new artwork, I can pick the instrument I want more easily, but still hate the long names, and wish NI was more focused on customer's and their use cases.
