yeah, i've thought about having one and adding it is pretty easy in fact 
(Qt has a drop in solution for just that:). however, i always concluded 
it was about adding yet another file browser to the bloat :)

take note that you can always use whatever your favorite file manager / 
browser is and drag-and-drop external files into qtractor (eg. from your 
'samples' directory) provided it supports a dnd protocol of course. this 
is the most obvious reason why there's no file browser in qtractor: you 
can use your own, which i'm certainly will be the fittest to purpose.

i'll reconsider though, if demand gets overwhelming ;)

cheers.
