As i understand - currently impossible drag and drop audio files directly on the sample slots in Renoise.
Frequently i searching for samples with Total Commander or windows explorer, prehearing and selecting.
After i found needed sample i have find it’s location from Renoise’s file manager, and if sample location somewhere deep in subdirs structure, it turns to nightmare.
Why not just to drop sample stright into Renoise ? Probably limited with GUI depending issues ?
I would personally love this. The Renoise DiskOp is no fun at all. How about command line options which work on the existing instance of Renoise? This may solve the DX drag’n’drop issues.
So for example, “renoise.exe -sample c:\samples\perc\tom\boomph.wav”
… will load that sample into the next available sample slot. This would mean that I could configure the Windows shell to integrate with Renoise.
Drag & drop would be a nice addition, though I’d rather see a dedicated diskop page (the size of the instrument or sample editor) with all the options you’d expect to handle all file managing. THe lill box we have now doesn’t cut it imo.
hm, I really do not understand why someone would need to drag and drop the audio ?
It used to be cool to be able to do that in cubase, (Also works in halion etc) but i never saw any benefits for this… Played with it for few months but there was no point…
edit: I understand that scrolling through loads of audiofiles that are messed all around the hard-disk can be a pain… but I don’t understand how that should relate to renoise… Why not just organize the samples so that they can be easily found.
