Hi,
Didn't know it was ok to drag'n drop from any files browser. This is not a
feature that comes to my mind obviously.
In fact I am a agree with Grammostola Rosea, it could be cool to have a file
browser directly inside of Qtractor, or at least a "preview" button in the
import sound window. If I remember, the software Specimen use this preview
button and Ardour too.
This could be a solution isn't it ?
Personnaly I use Rox-filer and I don't think there is a preview feature for
sounds. And even it exists I should have issue, because I use Jack and
Freebob ;)

Cheers, and keep up your great work !
