Solved EXPANSION's Projects/sounds/samples appear twice

Hello,

I have a strange behavior with some of my expansions.
The projects/sounds/samples appear twice in the Maschine library.
But they're installed just in one location (Users/shared...), no duplicate files, folders etc...
Does anyone know how to solve this ?

thank you.

 

Have you tried step 3 in the following KB article? (Reset the Maschine DB)

Thank you for your reply.
I’m a little bit reluctant about doing this, last time I had to add and rescan all my customs libraries and user presets after following this guide.

 

That is the downside…unfortunately!!!

did you right click and do a “Find in Explorer/Finder”? Perhaps there are preset files at another location unbeknownst to you. If so, just delete the secondary location and do a rescan… if you have already tried this, disregard!!!

 

i already have and it goes to the same folder ;-)
Thank you

 

i have tried erasing the komplete.db3 file, and the problem is still there... weird

 

Even after rescan? Very strange indeed, if there is only one preset, it should not show twice… Totally not sure if you even can or if it would cause this, but do you have a user path that also includes the folders for the factory presets? Just me thinking out loud!!

 

Yes even after rescan.
The only working solution I have found is to delete folders inside the main maschine expansions folder concerned.
Rescan.
And then put back the deleted folders.

strange…

 

If the problem wasn't with the komplete.db3 file, it can be related with service center or something else.
I continue to investigate.

 

OK,

I have found the problem.
In the past i have installed free kontakt libraries, and then delete them.
But the .plist files concerned were still located in /library/preferences/

During MASCHINE launch, it scans the .plist files for the instruments concerned, then it scans the folder /users/shared/ to see if the missing kontakt banks are in this folder and this is what create duplicates of my maschine's expansions presets.

So i've erased every .plist files concerned by the libraries i no longer have, and i had to delete manually the corresponding lines in komplete.db3 > k_content_path

It took me hours to figured out what the problem was.
Now everything is ok, no more duplicates for my presets, sounds, projects etc etc...

 

This was your answer that guided me on the right way to finding out where the problem was.

Thank you.

 

Glad you got it Sorted!!!
