Utility to make it easier to batch copy / paste sample kits between different folders / patches.
## About
The Kit Manager (based on @axlwaii’s File Manager) is designed to make it easier to copy all samples from a selected folder, rename them, and paste to a different folder.
My goal for this utility was to make it easier to swap sample kits in different patches available for the Organelle.
When copying samples from a folder, Kit Manager will look for all existing .wav files inside the folder.
When pasting samples, Kit Manager will also give you the options to backup existing wav files and rename the new files to #.wav or sample_#.wav (or keep original filenames).
Kit Manager is not designed to manage individual files but @axlwaii’s File Manager does a great job at that.
## How to Install
Download the .zip file, place it in your Patches folder (or under a Utilities subfolder), reload Mother, and select the Install Kit Manager.zip
## How to Use
– Open Kit Manager
– Navigate to the folder that you want to copy samples from
– Select the “> Copy Samples” option to copy all .wav files
– Navigate to the destination folder
– Select the “> Paste Samples” option to paste all copied samples.
– If Kit Manager finds existing samples inside the destination folder, it’ll ask if you’d like to back them up (to a backup folder inside the destination folder). Please keep in mind that all existing wav files found in the destination folder will be deleted.
– Select if you’d like to rename samples or keep the original filenames.
– Select the “<– Quit" option to return to the main menu

Thanks buddy, i’m gonna try it! I just was wondering about renaming files with “file manager” patch. 🌞
Nice one!
I didn’t find time to extend the functionality of the file manager yet but this is super interesting.
