Rename Kontakt nki Instrument & it's folder from within Kontakt?

[Barbarossa]

Hi folks,

I have a few nki instruments I want to rename in Kontakt 5.
Since I do not like to be totally dependent on the database from a manufacturer (the manufacturers would like that...), i always keep my library organized that way, that I can find everything manually, too.

So let's say, I have a Kontakt nki instrument and corresponding folder named Synth XY.
It's samples are in the folder Synth XY.

Now I want to rename it within Kontakt to XY Synth.
Which is easy by clicking in the instrument's display and type a different name.
But I want the NKI-file to change, too so that my library stays well organized. And ofcourse I also want the corresponding sample-folder be renamed, too.

So I want to rename it within Kontakt from
Synth XY
Synth XY.nki
Sample folder: Synth XY

to:

XY Synth
XY Synth.nki
Sample folder: XY Synth

I cannot even find a way to force Kontakt to save the instrument as a new instrument. When choosing INSTRUMENT SAVE AS the only option is to choose the original instrument which I want to avoid, because I want the NKI-file plus folder be named the same.

File>Save As lets you set the File name for the new .nki file, and if you save as 'patch + samples' with the <default> sample sub-directory, then they'll go into a folder corresponding to the new .nki name.

If its an authorised Kontakt Player-type library, though, you wont be able to save the samples, obviously.

Indeed. Thank you.
