yes, both great ideas. they go nicely with the already existing ideas for the disk browser, like better navigation (through URL-bar) and more presets, to name a few. hope to see a good Disk Browser overhaul in one of the next versions.
Oh yes, more bookmarks would be awesome. - Also, I haven’t ever really found a way to tell DiskOp to always load in Sample Mode - instead I always see the demo tunes and then clunkily maneuver to the Sample load section…
The sample-preview auto-play in DiskOp could be selected with shift-select-multiple sounds, or just toggled for a folder - then when you find a sample you like, you press a key and it goes onto your instrument box.
It would be also good to have a sneaky way to “sample” stuff into a sample out of the DiskBrowser, i.e. if you come across a segment of maybe even loading different samples in preview-mode in the DiskOp, you could already loop those up. - I wonder if this’d help in the quest to be able to sample what the Sample Editor itself hears when jamming on a newly created instrument - while you’re jamming, you realize that you want to change various loop lengths etc of the instrument, and would also like to record-what-u-hear directly, natively, in Renoise.
Also one other possibility would be to select multiple samples and automatically get that down to a instrument map - however, also having the possibility to load it as one long sample where the samples are appended one at a time into a wavefile - then to be chopped up w the slicer…
