Help Migrating NI Content Libraries to External Volume
I am aware and comfortable with the process of MOVING libraries then REPAIRING install from Native Access so that plugins and applications that rely on large libraries can relink their dependencies —- however one aspect is proving a little confusing.
I am able to do this with a relatively clean install where only Maschine and Maschine Central have been installed from Native Access - and fortunately this simplicity has thrown up a couple of confusing elements that would be best resolved before I continue.
—
In Native Access > Preferences > File Management for my initial install I kept everything default - so "users/Shared" and indeed in this location the only content library "Maschine Central Library" has been installed as a folder.
However in "users/Shared" are also two folders "Native Instruments" & "NI Resources"
"NI Resources" looks to have been created & modified subsequent to the "Maschine Central Library" folder installation and contains database related stuff.
"Native Instruments" looks to have been created a couple of days prior to "Maschine Central Library" (it MAY have been when Native Access was installed but i am not sure) and contains a couple of folders one of them being "installed_products" which contains .json files of what i suspect are NKS supported plugins (mine or almost all Arturia V Collection that were installed some time prior to Native Access Installation)
THE QUESTION -
When I migrate my Content Libraries (by changing the "Preferences>File Management" location in Native Access and then selecting "Repair" for the products) SHOULD I ALSO MOVE "Native Instruments" & "NI Resources" TO THE NEW EXTERNAL LOCATION?
Appreciate help, support, and explanations in advance.
Here is a screenshot of my current "users/Shared" directory as currently in Native Access > Preferences > File Management
