Scaler 2.1 No Sound Alternate Install Path and Fix Mac

Scaler 2 Support
1

Hi Folks, Just installed 2.1 today and chose to install on an external SSD drive. Upon firing up, no sound and when clicking on the sound there’s a message saying “0/25 sounds found”
I suspected Scaler was expecting files in the main internal drive. Found the following:
/Users/Shared/Plugin Boutique/Scaler2/Sets (empty folder)
/Users/Shared/Plugin Boutique/Scaler2/Sounds
/Users/Shared/Plugin Boutique/Scaler2/Documents
/Users/Shared/Plugin Boutique/Scaler2/ScalerSettings.app

The fix was creating a symlink to the external drive
on internal or main drive:
cd /Users/Shared/Plugin Boutique/Scaler2/
ln -s /Volumes/MacExt/Users/Shared/Plugin\ Boutique/Scaler2/Documents .
ln -s /Volumes/MacExt/Users/Shared/Plugin\ Boutique/Scaler2/ScalerSettings.app .
ln -s /Volumes/MacExt/Users/Shared/Plugin\ Boutique/Scaler2/Sounds .

Now my ask is what other paths should I check? (it seems to be working fine). Can someone verify if I have all the sounds for 2.1?

Looks correct. Symlink is a good work around for the sounds on external disc but I believe you can set the location in preferences now.
