My suggestion about the filebrowser made me think about another feature
which would makes this app more easy to use for beginning home studio
recording musicians....
Easy access to instruments like fluidsynth/ whysynth using dssi etc.
and maybe the (experimental) plugin for Linuxsampler?

(dssi) instrument access is already supported to some extent in
qtractor. after you insert a dssi plugin into a midi track you get
access to its instruments (aka midi programs) in the track properties
dialog.
try and tell me whether you have something else better in mind :)

under qtractor, dssi plugins are treated as any other plugin (ladspa,
vst). however as an instrument plugin (dssi, vsti) it only makes sense
when inserted in a midi track, of course.
additionally, you can chain the instrument audio audio output through
other fx plugins in-place. that's why you get to insert audio plugins
(ladspa, vst) in a midi track. ah, you can even have multiple instrument
plugins in a midi track, but remember that only the last active one will
have an audible audio output ;)
as said, you can select the midi program/instrument while in the track
properties dialog where you can choose which to assign from a drop-down
list. this is provided even without you firing up the plugins gui, which
will work as well btw :)
maybe i'm missing your point, you tell me

need for a .ins definition file ;)

Another little gui thing I have with your latest version.

totally. I've Fil , Edi , Trac , Viev ,
The last letters of the names are displayed half...

Sorry, vague language. I mean program

But it is solved now. When I have selected a dssi in the tab 'plugin'
and I go to the tab 'track', at that point only the program numbers are
displayed!!!
But when I mouse click on 'Hexter ...' below Midi/ instrument (on the
right of 'channel') I see the instrument names...
This is somewhat vague cause the name of Hexter seems already
selected... (it is strange for me that I have to mouse click it before I
see the instruments instead of just numbers)...

that's a very (well?) known issue due on Qt >= 4.4
try changing the base font size in View/Options.../Display/Options/Base
