Exactly what I did.

We're thinking on the same wavelength.... that's exactly what I did.

Exactly what I did! But because my L6 folder was in the applications 
folder, L7 was seeing these instruments twice.

I dragged my whole L6 folder out of the applications folder (dragged it 
to my desktop for now) and that solved the problem. I can now happily 
have an alias in there of my user sampler instruments folder. And it 
won't appear twice in my L7 list.


Pete, this might be a useful little thing to add into your FAQ:

If users want to be able to run both L6 and L7, it is useful to _not_ 
have the L6 folder located in the Applications Folder. Put all your old 
"L6" sampler instruments in the User Sampler Instruments folder for L7 
to see. Then put an alias of it in the L6 folder. Because the L6 folder 
is no longer in the Applications Folder, this alias won't muck up your 
sampler instrument list in L7.

Glad to have it sorted out. Does anyone know if it is "safe" to move 
the L7 Factory Samples to another location, and then just leave an 
alias of it in the current location? I don't normally keep my samples 
on my main system drive, and so would like to move the factory ones 
out. I know this should work, but I'm reluctant to mess with L7's file 
management locations......
