Yes. Thanks, Guy!

Best,

Geoff

My thanks as well, Guy.

Anecdotally, it looks like Omni 3 will work on Monterey and doesn’t take much disk space for the app (can anyone confirm the latter?)

The remaining upgrade issue for me-my Steam folder presently exists on my boot drive which is extremely challenged space-wise. Is it possible to move it to another drive as well as the Omni 3 content?

Yes that's quite easy Larry and here a link from Spectrasonics on how to do it: https://support.spectrasonics.net/manua ... age04.html

Thanks Jaap.

Unfortunately, I’m pretty sure I don’t have the initial space on my boot drive to do the installation. I have plenty of external drive space but very little on my boot drive, hence the installation problem.

Larry, I'm 97% sure you can set your download location wherever you like. The app itself is tiny, you need 65gb space somewhere to download it temporarily and another 65gb in your STEAM folder to install it

Oh I thought you wanted to move the whole STEAM folder, my apologies as I understood it wrong then I think.
What Guy said is true as I also did that. You can download the update to any location you want and when you install it, it will look automatically for the location of your STEAM folder. The installer and STEAM folder don't need to be at the same place.

The fact that the mini patch browser doesn't remember your current category and sort order (and probably other settings) between project reloads is frustrating. I definitely see what you mean Guy about this release being a UX travesty where patch management is concerned. That was never exactly Omnisphere's strong suite but you'd expect some sort of forward progress between major releases.

Jason (or anyone else frustrated with the browsing experience) - please do add your name to the VI-C thread here - https://vi-control.net/community/thread ... er.167319/ . There's not all that much interest, and I've been told in no uncertain terms by many people the problem lies with me and they have no issues with how things are whatsoever.

It's a bit exhausting tbh. Thought I had a relatively simple to execute idea, in keeping with the Spectrasonics house style, that would genuinely benefit everyone. Turns out I'm just a boring PITA (yeah, I know). I've abandoned KVR completely (probably 20 years overdue).

Thanks Guy-

The problem is that I don’t have a 65 gig available on my boot drive. Does the STEAM folder have to exist on the boot drive?
