Well, at least Battery gives you an option to search all your HDs for that
sample. Better than nothing, even if it might take a while.
However, when working with Battery, as soon as I'm halfway done, I save all
my patches in my song folder.

Honestly, this I like in Battery. The non-intuitive thing here might be
Logic's way of handling multiple outputs, but even that is fine with me.

A shame indeed. For I while I was posting tons of possible enhancements in
N.I.'s forum and got almost only positive responses, even from some N.I.
employees... thus, nothing happened at all.

I'd like to add that it's a REAL shame that you need to save a patch first
with the EXS to work with it at all.
There's no other sample based virtual instrument requiring such a nonsense.
No matter if it's Kontakt, Battery, HALion or whatever... you just load a
sample and play it, everything is saved within the song, you only need to do
a "save patch as" whenever you'd like to re-use this certain patch in any
other song.

You better ask them - but most likely they won't answer.
