Was starting a new music project for a client this morning and I guess I haven't used Kontakt since I upgraded and updated a few weeks ago.  As I started stacking instruments I realized that the midi channel and output selectors were no longer in the headers of the instruments.  I started looking all over the guis for them but...nope...S O L.  So...I did what any normal red blooded dimbulb would do...started clicking every button and option on the gui to see what was up.  Sure enough, when I hit the little "i" up popped the output and midi selectors.  10 or 15 minutes of frustration well spent:-)
 

Yep. Moving stuff just for the sake of moving it is always fun. On the other hand, I have seen in some newer libraries that the traditional location for that has been used by some other stuff...

Yes, a lot of libraries default to snapshot, the camera icon next to the "i" which seems to have happened since snapshots have become the prefered way of storing presets. Confused the hell out of me the first time!

Same thing happened to me!!  It's maddening.

They probably sent some coders to a Microsoft conference, where they learned the Microsoft Way of randomly moving stuff around with each revision. Keeps the users entertained, like hiding a doggie treat when you leave for work, so your pup has something to do to keep him busy while you're away.

Woof!

Why do they go to the trouble of fixing of improving something and then not even telling you it's there. Why turn something good into something bad? They should have magazines like the gamers where you can get the secret codes so instead of just killing the Orc, you can eat it. Even better a 90 second video showing you what they changed and why you want/need it. Rant light is off. You are now free to move about the Forum.

The Mickeysoft way. Bah.
 
Anybody remember DOS4, when MS added disk caching and turned on WRITE caching by default without telling anyone?
 
Anyone else suffer multiple database and spreadsheet corruptions before finding that little gem and disabling write caching?
 
Anyone else roll back to DOS3 until DOS5 was released?
 
Anyone else get woop-dee-doo excited by DOS5's support of hard drives larger than 32MB? Anyone else write a batch file to back up drives C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L and M (not a full 32 MB) to their digital back backup and go to lunch? Anyone else come back from lunch, pull the backup tape out without checking it, install DOS5, reformat the hard driver to a single 330 MB drive C:? Anyone else install the backup software, insert the backup tape...and find up you f'd up the batch file and the sucker was blank and 3 years worth of engineering work and systems engineering quotes were gone?
 
Geez, I hope not!

Ouch!!!

Ah, the MS-DOS days. Back then being a computer guy was something you had to constantly work at. Remember how much fun it was just to get a CD drive to work? You kids don't know how good you've got it.
 
On the other hand, we didn't wake up every morning wondering if our computers would still work after automated brownies had spent the night installing unsolicited software updates.
