EZKeys Favorites Folder Location

[Shootie]

I’ve searched for this a few times in the past and just now to make sure. Maybe this thread title will help guide people to the answer faster in the Search.

There is no user access to the Favorites Folder outside of EZKeys like with EZD2, correct?

Best case scenario is to use your own folder structure and import that into the Browser, correct?

Thanks for your time!

There is access to the Favorites folder (on a Mac just control-click on a Favorite and choose “Show in Browser”)…

But none of the names that you have used will show up, and none of the names that the Toontrack content favorites come from are included. We just get numbered files: “EZkeys_song(305).mid” which makes it next to impossible to actually find what you are looking for using the Mac Finder file system.

Maybe if you are strategic and sort by CREATED DATE, you could grab the MIDI files you just created in the past hour or past day to drag them somewhere else. That’s a strategy for working if you do want to move copies elsewhere… BUT the files will not preserve any name you gave them in EZKeys if you renamed them. It must be encoded into the file or something. Kind of a shame they did it this way.

If you only want to name them once, it seems it’s probably best to just drag the MIDI to a computer user folder (where we want them to reside) and name them in that folder, so no renaming and future confusion can occur.

“Show in Browser” navigates the user to the selected groove within the EZKeys MIDI Grooves Browser,
not to anythin in the OS file system.

I believe that the EZKeys Favorites (and the contained folders & grooves) exist only as entries in a text file.

That’s only true if your favorites are from within Toontrack’s MIDI packs.

If you drag your own MIDI into the Favorites section, and then select it and choose “Show in Browser” it will take you to a folder on your hard drive.

On a Mac it is:  System Hard Drive > User > Library > Application Support > Toontrack > EZKeys > Stored Favorites

The MIDI files do exist, but their names are not reflected in the computer filing system…
