Battery 4 rescan button not working

cliff turner · 2022-02-04T21:05:01+00:00

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Recently I moved my libraries to an external drive and I'm having problems with Battery not seeing things . Changed location in Native access , but when I go to rescan within the library , the rescan button doesn't work . Tried in logic and stand alone

I'm also having problems with my user presets . I can see the kits within Battery within logic , but they're empty . I've tried putting the actual files /samples in different locations in my user name and application support but still nada .

I've tried reinstalling battery but didn't help .

1 year old iMac with Big Sur 11.6.2 . NI all latest updates . Using logic .

I've found Battery clunky since going to Big. Sur and it was late with official support . Early with support on Monterey , but Kontakt not official and I use that more than anything. Have messaged re being involved in beta for that reason . hoping that might fix the issues but wondering if I've overlooked something .

Any suggestions?

Cheers

Cliff

Hi Cliff, for factory libraries, have you tried all the steps listed on this page here?

The BATTERY 4 Factory Library Does Not Appear in the Software

As for user presets, can you try creating a user presets folder in My Documents folder and point Logic to that folder in the Locations Preference? Also worth checking if Battery 4 and Logic still have a full disk access just in case!

This will not solve your problem, but it appears with this change in 4.2.0...

IMPROVED Scanning for content now happens in the background without a blocking overlay

That they did not add any indicator to let you know it's actually scanning like in Maschine or KK...those apps have a little circle progress indicator...but not in Battery!

Thanks for that Kaiwan

Will Work through that .

looked for message function on forum , but can't find it . On a other thread

https://community.native-instruments.com/discussion/63/apple-macos-12-monterey-compatibility

I asked to be put on the list for the beta version but haven't heard back . Is that something anyone can ask for or more for long term members . Is that something

Thanks for that . I hadn't picked up on that , but sadly didn't fix the underlying reason as to why I needed to rescan.

Kaiwan , I didn't have full disk access turned . Turned on . I started using an external drive recently ( Lacie SSD Rugged 2 Tb ) . That's fixed most of my issues .

BTW it would be nice to have the spinning wheel in battery so you know the rescanning is happening .

Have one remaining issue but as it's unrelated to initial thread , I'll start a new thread .

Cheers

Kaiwan, I didn't have full disk access turned.

Glad it does the trick.

BTW I'll give our team a nudge. You should be invited to the Kontakt beta in a couple of days.
