    I have a kontakt library which has a lot of .nki-files. Making all of these available in the Quick-Load dialog would be an arduous task. Therefore, I tried to just put a shortcut to the "Instruments" folder for this library in the Quick-Load folder. I then renamed the shortcut from "Instruments" to the name of the library. This works well, except for one unfortunate thing:
    Kontakt displays the name of the destination, which is "Instruments" in this case, instead of the name of the shortcut.

    Here's my Quick-Load folder:

    Here's how it looks in Kontakt:

    As you can see, it gets confusing to browse since the folder is now displayed as simply "Instruments". I could rename the "Instruments" folder, but I would prefer not to mess with the developer's folder structure. What if there are updates down the line, and their installer won't be able to find the folder?

    Therefore, I would like a feature where Kontakt displays the name of the shortcut instead of the name of the destination folder.

    Today I discovered that you can actually rename the folder within Kontakt, by right clicking. This renames neither the shortcut, nor the destination folder. It's just within Kontakt - but this is a fine solution.

    Still, it would be sensible if it worked as I described above in my opinion.
