Some thoughts on this - Justin, Schwa, Christophe, this is for you:
We definitely need an import dialog. Shouldn't be too hard to build, maybe even via extensions - I'll do it myself if you point me in the right direction. Anyway, it should work like that:
1. Open the "Open Project" dialog, let the user select a file
2. Use the existing LoadProject implementations to parse the project file into a ProjectStateContext
3. Show a list of the tracks in the project, let the user select the ones to import. There can (and should) also be additional controls like time offset. I'll provide a mockup later.
4. Extract only selected tracks from the ProjectStateContext and insert them into the project
That way we can easily re-use the existing functions for loading projects.
Any comments?
