1) I launch Kinsky
2) Many (perhaps most) times I get an error message telling me that it cannot find the library on MinimServer [QNAP]. Going into the Library folder, I can see MinimServer [Synology], but not MinimServer [QNAP].
3) If I shut down Kinsky, then relaunch the programme, usually it can then see MinimServer [QNAP].
4) If, during the "no QNAP" state, I leave Kinsky running in the background and launch Kazoo, Kazoo can see MinimServer [QNAP], whilst Kinsky cannot.
5) If I launch BubbleDS on my Android, it can also see MinimServer [QNAP].

Apologies if my initial post did not make that clear.

In 1) above, do you launch Kinsky from scratch or are you resuming it from a previously active state? I presume it is the latter, as otherwise there is no reason why Kinsky would know that MinimServer[QNAP] exists.

Using your sequence numbers, I believe the sequence is:

3) Kinsky is stopped and restarted
3a) Kinsky sees MinimServer[QNAP] in its list
.... later ....
1) You resume Kinsky
2) Kinsky produces an error message about MinimServer[QNAP]

If you could identify what happens between states 3a) and 1), this would be helpful.

I generally shut down Apps when I stop using them, so I believe that I would normally be restarting Kinsky from scratch. When I do so it can see MinimServer [Synology], but not MinimServer [QNAP]. Why should Kinsky not be able to see the QNAP library if I start from scratch?

I'll take more notice over the next few days to confirm what I have just said.
