Rig Manager does have some quirks, addressed below:
* Rig Manager's Local Library does not correspond to like-named folders or files in your computer's file system. It is actually a database that is stored as a single file. For Windows, it is stored in C:\Users\<username>\App Data\Roaming\Kemper\ . '''If you are using Rig Manager on several PC's and need to keep them in sync, you have to copy this file back and forth every time you make changes, which can be a hassle. To avoid this, I create a symbolic link for that folder on each computer to re-route it to a Dropbox folder.''' Also, the database file is not written to disk until you actually exit Rig Manager. If for some reason the program crashes, all your changes will not be saved.
* While Rig Manager makes auditioning profiles much easier, it does not make editing them much easier (outside of changing tags). There are no controls in Rig Manager to edit parameters or save changes. If you load a rig from a local library folder, you must tweak it using the KPA's controls. Once finished, you must use the KPA's Store button to save the rig, ''which will save it to the KPA itself''. You need to then choose your KPA in the left-hand pane, find the rig you just saved, drag-drop it back into the local library folder, then find the old version of the rig in that local library folder and delete it.
* If you have your KPA selected in the left-hand pane and use Store As on the KPA to store a new rig, the stored rig will not automatically populate in the center pane's grid. You have to select another item, such as Rig Exchange, then select your KPA again to see it.
