Thanks Eli! So if I understand you I need to put the
.gig files directly in my sampler instrument folder.
Then I have to load every single instrument
individually into EXS and then I can transfer the
newly converted files to my sample drive. I better
make a pot of tea.

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
