FL Studio - Sample Directory Problems

[Colbyhead93]

I'm new here, so if this is in the wrong section of the forum please direct me to the correct place! Ty

Okay, so my problem is that FL won't load up the samples that I have in my older tracks. I know where the problem is, I renamed my "Samples" folder to "Samples (Old)" while attempting to better organize my files. I could just rename it back, but I would like to continue to organize my files better. Anyways, my question to you guys is, How do I tell FL that my samples are in a new folder?

basically changed from
C:/program files (x86)/Image-Line/FL Studio 11/Data/Patches/Samples

to

C:/program files (x86)/Image-Line/FL Studio 11/Data/Patches/Samples (Old)

A file explorer thing does open and search when I load up a track, but it really doesn't seem to do anything at all...

I did some playing around just now testing this. I made a project and made a copied folder of samples to use in it. I saved it, then tried changing the name. Reopened FL Studio and it found everything automatically. So I moved the folder entirely out of the FL Studio folder area where my samples are, and tried the same test: failed finding anything at all. I moved it back, changed the name to something entirely different again. Closed FLS and restarted it to try the same experiment and it found everything again without issue. I think what I found was that as long as its in the place that Content Library checks for your samples by default it will locate it as long as the individual file names are the same (folders can be named anything). However I think you are having the issue because it looks like your samples are located in a different spot than default. By default mine have always been in Patches/Packs/ . I would try moving the samples there and see if that helps the content library automatically find them.

Hope this works!
