yeah, right :) by drag-n-dropping a file into qtractor you're also
adding it to the file list (besides, "import" is not the right word for
the whole operation, but you get the idea:)

Oh yeah of course, but this is only for sounds you already imported in
Qtractor, isn't it ?

fwiw, qtractor also has a preview button (audio only): it's that little
blue triangle at the bottom-right of the audio file list widget ;)
double-clicking on an audiofile item also triggers the preview (or
should it be pre-listening?) feature 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.
Ardour has the preview button on
its own file browser but that is mostly
because Ardour's file browser also supports tagging files with arbitrary
metadata.
Like QTractor, Ardour supports drag-n-drop from file browsers that
support the correct protocol (i.e. almost all of them), and like Rui I
think this is a nicer solution than adding it to every app, unless the
app adds more "non-standard" features to the browser.
