It's honestly pretty shocking that such a major breaking change was introduced without any warning or clear communication. As a result, all of my existing projects have stopped working properly, and there appears to be no straightforward way to migrate or restore the previous settings. This kind of update—one that fundamentally breaks backward compatibility—is considered extremely poor practice in software development. In the professional world, breaking changes are typically reserved for major version releases, and even then, they are accompanied by detailed release notes, migration guides, and clear warnings. Users rely on software stability for long-term projects, especially in production environments. When an update causes all existing projects to fail with no heads-up or fallback option, it erodes trust. How can I be confident that Kontakt 7—or any future version—won’t do the same thing again? This isn't just an inconvenience; it's a breach of the standards developers and users expect from industry tools.
