Hi,
Is it possible to have a file browser in Qtractor like you have in
energyxt or lmms?
In qtractor I only see the files which I have added as track or midi.
Wouldn't it be useful if I have a browser so I can easily pick out
some samples from my 'samples' directory, some midi files from my
'midi' directory, saved project files etc. ?
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.
Ok, thanks for that information... we will wait and see.
I think with such features developers should also think about the people
who are not Linux geeks or are converts from a other OS.... and who
doesn't knows that you can do it with any filemanager.
They just want user friendly and nice looking apps ;)
