When you first open a sampler instrument file (something.exs) Logic looks
for the audio files that are specified in the exs instument definition --
which you might have downloaded from a web site or installed from a CD or
moved from another machine.

Before 4.7, this search started automatically. On my PC it searched my
system drive first (waste of time) and then my audio drive where it
eventually found the files. The path to these files is then saved
automatically with the instrument file and next time you open it they are
loaded automatically.

Now, with 4.7, you can choose to specify which drive Logic will search (eg
your Audio Drive)  or to extend the search to network drives if that suits
your setup. The search only occurs when Logic doesn't already know where to
find the files and is "automated" in the sense that it doesn't start by
giving you a dialog box with a [browse] button so that you can direct the
program "manually" to the folder where the files can be found.
