Default CTRL+ALT+Drag compressed audio from media browser automatically converts to PCM WAV

Hi!

I converted all my sample library in FLAC, in order to save valuable storage space.

But one huge drawback is when using 3rd party VSTi samplers, such as Reaktor, Geist2, etc.)99% of all 3rd party samplers do not support FLAC.

The workaround I use is to drag and drop the FLAC media in my reaper session, then CTRL+ALT+drag the media item that Reaper has created, back in the VST.

It works, but the process is cumbersome and messy.

Would it be possible to add a feature where if a user CTRL+ALT+ drag a FLAC (or other compressed audio) directly out of the Media Browser, to be instantly converted to PCM wave, before being loaded by the 3rd party plugin?
(and being saved in the project directory)

Let me know if you have any thoughts on this,

Thanks!

V

Same here, all in FLAC, recording to WavPack. This feature would be really welcome.

What do we learn from this?

--> Always stick to the most common format!
