There is more than one reason to stop support for Windows 7. As long as we support it, we need to maintain our testing and development machines running that OS, and from January 2020 on, they will become vulnerable to any security breach that is discovered later on. Additionally, Windows 8 and above provide some internal improvements that sped up editor development, though they are not directly visible in the product. Rig Manager will still run on Windows 7 for quite some time, only without the editor. We won't actively prevent Rig Manager from running on Windows 7, but official support and testing will end January 2020 at the latest.

Circular knobs in a GUI haven't needed to be moved in a circular manner since the old days, in case you were referring to me as "some here". I've been using every kind of software since the beginning of software.
I won't offer any more suggestions, I promise.
Of course more suggestions are welcome. Regarding the linear/circular knob behavior: it might be that we offer that as an option in the final version, but linear will always be available and default.

It's not set in stone, but probably macOS 10.9 (Mavericks) will be the minimum requirement for the new Rig Manager.

All Performances und All Rigs sind nur lesbar, weil das nur eine Zusammenfassung sämtlicher Unterordner ist. Wenn man da was reinkopiert, in welchem Unterordner sollte es landen? Deshalb müssen die Rigs bzw. Performances direkt in die Local Libraries kopiert werden.

Did the download of the new version succeed? Then you can find the new installer in your Downloads folder and start it from there. It is named something like Rig_Manager_2_1_61.msi.

There is an issue with Rig Manager 2.1.41 on High Sierra running on older MacPros. Please update Rig Manager to V2.1.61
-
Tut mir leid, aber das kann der Rig Manager noch nicht. Ich setze es mal auf die Liste der potentiellen neuen Features.
-
Sorry, but that can't be done automatically. You need to select all your favorite rigs (you can sort by Favorite) and then copy them to your "Favorites" folder.
-
When the installer fails, the download has already happened. You can find the new installer in your Downloads folder:
C:\Users\username\Downloads\Rig_Manager_2_1_61.msi
Start it from there and everything should be fine.

The driver is simply not installed. You can use the Gerätemanager to install it by letting it look for drivers on your computer. Point it to the folder
C:\Programme\Kemper Amps\Driver
Then it should install the driver. Alternatively, just run the Rig Manager installer again and choose "Repair". -
Links im Baum die Performance-Sektion des Profilers anwählen, dann die .kipf Datei per Drag&Drop auf den gewünschten Programmplatz ziehen. Dann wird sie direkt in den Profiler übertragen.

The Autobackup folder is used by Rig Manager automatically. In case you upgraded Rig Manager, and there are significant changes in the database handling, Rig Manager will first create a backup automatically, so if something goes wrong, you can restore the state of the previous version.
Though we usually do not recommend this, you can try to get the following folder from your old hard drive and copy it to the same location on the new one:C:\Users\#yourusername#\AppData\Local\Kemper Amps\RigManager
Then you should have everything back in place. But remember to use the built-in backup function from time to time.

That is really strange because there is no 2.1.26 on our update server. The current release is 2.1.41. You might want to try downloading the 2.1.41 directly from
the download section on our website. -
Problem and solution had been mentioned earlier in this thread. If you have a space in your Windows user name, then the automatic updater of Rig Manager doesn't work. This is a problem in all Windows versions. The solution is to download the latest version from our website. This version will accept spaces in user names and display future Rig Manager updates correctly.

Am besten beim Support melden. Bitte auch gleich die Datei Documents/Kemper Amps/RigManager/DebugLog.txt mitschicken.

When you say "frequently save", do you mean you press the Store button on the Profiler after editing the performance in Rig Manager? This is not recommended, all changes done in Rig Manager are automatically stored in the Profiler immediately. It could happen that the Profiler's edit buffer is not in sync with the stored performance (the one Rig Manager is working on), and if you press Store, then you will overwrite the changes made in Rig Manager.
-
Agreed this is annoying, so both the jumping scrollbar and the immediate expanding of folder nodes will be fixed in the next release.

I didn't know I had to update MS in order to run the newest RM...... never had to before and there was nothing warning me that there was an issue needing an update.And if I don't update RM, it turns into a Nag-Ware app that won't stop telling me to update it.
All I was looking for was the "KB" code for the specific update needed to fix the problem....
I don't think that's too much to ask for, nor do I think it's appropriate for Kemper to say, "UPDATE EVERYTHING", or "I don't feel like researching which update will fix this"!
People are having problems with an update Kemper pushed out, so yeah, I think they should be a little more specific about how to solve the issue.And yes, I AM a software engineer, but I don't write device drivers, which isn't required to know that MS updates can totally mess up your system.
All I know is whenever I do MS updates, my system is almost invariably FUBAR'd and sh*t breaks....and I'm not the only one.https://www.computerworld.com/…re-finally-contained.html
MS also likes to add in extra crap that ends up changing your preferences and settings to what THEY want them to be.
Some companies (Cough! - Apple - Cough!) even go as far as to push out updates that cause you issues to force you to upgrade your device.
So if I HAVE to do an update, I would rather do as few as possible to get it to work.
If you don't want Rig Manager to nag you about updates, please open the Preferences window and switch off "Automatically check for software updates". If you still want to update Rig Manager while keeping an outdated operating system, you might want to try KB3004394, followed by KB3024777. But I haven't explicitly tried only installing those on a fresh W7 installation.
