Impossible to relocate the Previews?

Weemono

Hi, I had to move all my NI library from one external HD to another. I managed to relocate everything successfully but the Previews. And when I try to fix this (repairing it), I choose the NBPL folder on the right new path to the new external drive and I have the following error message : Invalid path or directory.

I realise that there is already a discussion on that topic but it is closed and I can't find an answer to the issue in it.

Thank you

There are also other discussions about it in these days (strange).

In this one, someone said that after moving the NBPL folder you have to rename it to Previews before pointing NA at it.

Should I just re-install it?

Sorry I do not know if the download in the below is new enough to be enough up to date to be of use but this is what I have as a Moderator here :

The following solution is for N.A. stuck on previews but it appear to me that your problem could possibly be a too long path as is mentioned here :

Quote Jeremy_NI : Then if Native Access is still stuck, please carry out the following workaround:

1.  Quit Native Access and restart your computer (this is really important)
2. Run the Previews installer directly via the following link ,and make sure to select a short installation path.
3. Restart Native Access

Be sure that you are using latest version of Native Access for your OS

Also the usual Mac users must do when using N.I. software ? :

ALL NI apps including NTKDaemon must have full disk access. : Howto Enable Full Disk Access on mac OS and disks must be of correct format : Notes on Network Drives and Disk Formats

Also then please check that iCloud Private Relay has been turned off : Native Access Error Message: "Download failed" (macOS)

Also then do not use Clean My Mac.

And quote Kymeia : if using Sequoia then N.I. apps must be added to the Local Network

Thank you @LostInFoundation : I renamed the folder from "NBPL" to "Previews", then relocated it choosing the new renamed "Previews" folder and it worked. Sorry, I missed that discussion. Thanks a lot for pointing it to me.
