I think he edits his .xml files. You can also see that the font is different. He wound up contacting me via PM because replies to posts continue to not be immediately posted and sent to a queue.
I figured out a workaround on my end. I can use the current Software Center to download and install expansions on my daily driver, which has Monterey installed. Then, copy the folder to my samples drive on my Catalina rig and replace the .xml file with the old one that doesn’t have the v3.5 requirement and it works fine.
I did speak with support about it and they are supposedly going to try and fix the downloading issue with the old LM. Had they not changed the minimum macOS requirements for the v3.5 update, it would’ve been a much smoother transition. I understand the security angle, but software devs also need to understand that a lot of professionals still use older, unsupported versions of macOS for compatibility reasons and those machines only use the internet for authorizing/installing software. They generally keep them offline.
I see plenty of other devs who still allow their most recent plugin versions to run on even macOS High Sierra. The security risk is minimal, especially if you use an updated web browser like Firefox.

Your image shows the default Kit Piece Info..which is typical for BFD Expansions and sample libraries today.
I have edited All of the expansions to reflect the actual names of the instruments used in recording based on the product info provided for the best reference.
.Size.. Brand..Model..Dampening (if any) Snare ON or OFF..Beater Type and if processed and Studio recorded as a number of the expansions were recorded under the same conditions in the same Studio.
I am not a fan of pseudonyms used by developers to eliminate any chance of copyright infringement etc etc.
This gives me accurate references in the search function for a specific instrument instead of Tom ..or cymbal..or as in your image “Sonor”..so when I am looking for a Name Brand Snare with a particular model/size etc such as when someone requests I create a Preset for an E-Kit
with specific Kit Pieces like an Artist Kit..I don’t have to spend time scrolling through everything for the sound…after that it depends on on how accurate the recording…and setting up the tunings for the amount of Toms etc.
For Example:
I can set the Option to manufacturer..then type in the size in the search.
