You can of course also move, remove or rename any les or folders residing in the Library,
whether you have put them there yourself or they have been installed from a Factory Live
Pack  the Library is intended to be your own Live space.
5.7.1 Changing the Library Location, Upgrading a Live 5 Library
The Library can reside in any hard disk location of your choice. In the Preferences' File/Folder
tab, you will nd the Library Path button, which brings up a dialog for selecting a Library
folder.
The Library Path
Preference.
When you have selected a path, Live will ask whether you want the contents of the cur-
rent Library merged into the target location. Doing this can have a few different effects,
depending on the new location:
If the target location is an empty folder, the contents of the current Library will be
copied there.
If the target location is a Live 6-formatted Library, the contents of the current Library
will be copied into the target location without altering what was already there.
If the target location is a Live 5-formatted Library, Live 6 will interpret this as your
irreversible decision to upgrade and leave Live 5 behind. The folder structure of the
Live 5-formatted Library will be changed to match new Live 6 conventions; then the
current Library's contents will be merged with the pre-existing contents. The resulting
Library will contain both the old les and the new les, but Live 5 will no longer be
able to use it. This is only recommended if you are sure about abandoning Live 5 or
have saved a backup copy of your Library elsewhere.
