But then I will get problems with the GUI of other VSTs i am working with, and FX plugs becoming too big for the screen...

I'm at 1600 X 900 and my size is about the same size as Oxium. That's my largest one at the moment. At that size Sampletank is fine to see.

I'm at 1920x1200. I can read the GUI fine, but it is among the smallest of the GUI's of the plugs I am using, it is about the same size as Rhino2

Obviously screen and resolution is just gonna get bigger and more refined, it would have been good when ST3 was made that the programmers would take into account "how will the screens be 5 years from now", or to make one small and one big GUI choice

It is quite easy, just point ST3 to the legacy lib you want to import and it will do it, takes less than a minute for the the libs I have imported like Cinematik Collection, or Vocal Collection.
Does it convert/copy to another folder? I have ST2, SS2 and some libraries installed, around 20GB stuff. I don't have much space left on the same HD, if it copy to new folder after converting then I will have to plan.

It does make new copies, and it's been reported that some sizes increase. Best plan seems to be to copy a library and then delete the old one and just do each as you go.

Yes, it converts the files to a copy, so it eats HDD space if you want to keep ST2 and ST3 on the HDD, and use the libs in both of them

On top of that SampleTank libs are some of the most bloated, they usually compress 60% when packed.

So they are HDD guzzlers for sure.

I would have hoped that IK came out with a lossless audio packing format when moving from ST2 to ST3 but that didn't happen

@spacekid, @numanoid - thank you. I will delete after conversion. I have no plan to keep both st2 and st3.
