Could not load file: Cannot invoke "java.io.File.exists()" because "dir" is null

[UniversalVibe]

MacOS 14.7 M1

Source: .EXS Destination: Ableton Sampler or MPC

same error.

have a source folder with .EXS library. Have a separate folder on desktop for destination files.

I tried the suggestions in macOS install guide. non issue there.

• Does the .app in Sonoma need permission to write to the desktop ?
• When I copy all of the .ESX files in the same root as the folders with the .WAVs I don't receive the error, however it will attempt to convert and crash out the app and sieze up.
• for AbletonSampler thanks in advance.
