Rasaving .nki's vs batch resave?

yes. Certainly I will let you know

 

Is there any chance that those folders are read only? If so that would stop any writing to them.

 

Definitely looks like a read-only (or file permissions) issue.

 

That was it. Read only. Solved the problem.
Thanks MarioD EvilDragon. Means a lot!

 

Good oh - I'm glad that you got it sorted out. To help out others with a similar problem, can you let us know what the folders were and what steps you took to resolve the problem?

That's what I was suggesting here :

 

Yes, I actually tried changing permissions in the security tab after you said 'some sort of access protection', and also tried copying them to different folder; what I did not realize was that I just had to untick read only in the properties.
If anyone faces this situation, just untick read only in the folder properties.

 

I started batch re-saving cinematic strings today. It took kontakt 6 hrs to complete the process. why is it taking so long. Not just this library, but other libraries too taking enormous time. Loading the libraries after batch resaving is indeed lightning fast . But batch resaving itself is taking ages!!

 

Depends on several factors, like how many samples the library has, how fast your hard drive is, how fragmented your hard drive is, etc.

 

yes. then I guess it must be fragmentation issue. coz hard disk is basic, 7200rpm and libraries too are not so huge. I dont know how many samples you call huge. is 20gb considered huge

 

No 20gb is not huge.

Also how big is your hard drive and how much free space is left on it.

 

its 2TB, out of which 110GB is free.
I have to upgrade existing or buy a new system.
Is it possible that I might talk to any one of you personally, may be on mail. (So far I know you guys and I am lucky to get in touch with you DarkStar, MarioD, EvilDragon) You people know things from scratch.
Searching on net is making me more doubtful on my choices. There are so many options. I am lost.
Thanks.

 

Do you mean another hard disk? Lots of people like Western Digital and Samsung drives.

But, what problem are you looking to solve? The long time that batch resaving takes. Six hours does sound a load - what do the developers say about that? Also, I have read that some Antivirus real-time checks can slow things down (I do not know which ones) - could that be the case?

------------------------
Just a thought - are you talking of Batch Compress, rather than Batch Resave? I did not think that a Batch Resave would speed up loading times. When I do a Batch Compress I select a different disk for the destination folder. As I am using Kontakt 4 shock the Batch Compress does not copy over Resources files, the compressed instruments still reference the files in the source folder.; I also need to move the Resources files across and do a Batch Resave too.). When all is OK, I copy it back to the source disk.

 

no no no..i mean system..which motherboard to go for. Which one is best for our use. I am going for 64gb ram for now, and two lcd monitors out. Budget is no issue. I am on i5 processor at present @3.10GHz. Can I use the same processor on new motherboard or do I have to buy a new processor too, if my present i5 will not work on new motherboard.
No, I was doing batch re-save. I had turned off my antivirus too. But its taking enormous time. Its the hard disk then as you guys tell me. What you are saying about batch compress makes sense. I did not feel the need to batch compress them. But yes, batch re-save speeds up loading time effectively.

 

I was having a similar problem some time ago. What you need to do is make sure that your root folder is not set as read only. Go to your library root folder, right click and select properties. At the bottom of the dialogue uncheck read only and then it will allow the batch resave to write to that folder.

hope this helps

 

Yes. This is exactly what I did. It solved the thing. The screenshot would help all people facing this. Thanks for sharing.
