So what is really useful in Windows Explorer:
1. You see, which file you hover over.
2. You can tick multiple files and paste them into project.



FR: please allow us to navigate quicker like in Windows Explorer/Total commander.

bug :



It happens always after droping a sample into a VST (from media explorer).

Battery 3, KOntakt, Tal sampler...

After this we can't use the keyboard inside the media explorer. Sometimes Reaper freezes.

Hey guys,

I see a lot of great improvements with these updates.

Is there any chance for this request to be implemented now that you are giving love to Media Explorer?

I literally never use the drop down list, but text field is essential to anyone working in game audio, film/tv and sound effect library creation.

Buggish:

- Copy one or more files and try to paste without changing dir. They won't paste.

(I know you'll have to deal with naming if pasting in the same dir is allowed, but a sensible default copy name would be better than no same-dir paste at all.

-- Curious side-note: copying in ME then pasting in Windows Explorer works, BUT if you try to paste to the same dir as the source file here, Windows just says "The source and destination filenames are the same" with only options being Skip or Cancel. Ideally here it'd act just like Windows Explorer and give you "filename - Copy.ext".


FRs:

- Toggle-able action to enable/disable prompt before moving files to recycle bin.

- Toggle-able action to enable/disable snapping to cues/etc. in preview waveform.

- Action to toggle whether dragging files to paths in shortcut list copies them (default) or moves them.

- And hey, while we're going wild: dare I suggest "CUT" along with copy and paste in the ME?


Thanks!

been away for a few days and come back to find rate control in the media explorer. awesome! while i haven't yet tried it, i want to get my $.02 in before devs move on.

in one comment i read regarding me rate control behavior, the user suggested that they didn't like that the rate reverted to 1.0 for a clip dragged into the timeline from the me. that seems like a musician's use-case. mine, mostly for working with spoken word, is the opposite. i'd probably always use the me rate somewhere between 1.5 and 2.2 but would always want the inserted clip to come in at 1.0. maybe a preference is called for?

sorry if i have bad info on this. i was just anxious to get the idea out there. if this isn't how things are working... nevermind.

ps
if we can get scroll bars in the wav window i can die happy.


thanks,
babag

Actually it's not the same. I removed all the things that are already implemented.

I have some FRs for the media explorer. I'm hoping to use it in place of other sfx library tools.

1. Is it possible to browse a scanned Database as a tree? Sometimes I want to poke around a specific section of my library, and it feels clunky to have to scroll through a giant list.

2. When I'm clicking around in the library, it would be helpful to automatically dim/mark items I've clicked on.

3. When I hit spacebar a second time, I want it to play from where I last clicked, not the beginning of the file.

4. Can we set more extreme limits to the pitch/rate knobs? If I have a 384k file, I might be pitching/stretching it to some wacky places.

5. Can the pitch/rate knobs be set to sliders? I'm spending all day twiddling these, so I wouldn't mind giving them some more screen real estate.

6. This may be a difficult request, but can the Media Explorer have a column which marks all the files I've pulled into my session? This would be really cool, and something an external library tool wouldn't be able to do.

For what it's worth, loading scripts in the midi editor is all messed up. This is
with reaper612+dev0624_x64-install and if you need some picts or a LiceCap
let me know.

Pause/play is mapped to ctrl+space by default, but you could map it to the unmodifier space bar if you want.

You can drag the shortcuts into whatever order.

media explorer FR:

1.Support files with .RfxChain extension (fx chains)
Currently i can see fx chains only when option "Browser: Toggle display all files/supported media only" is on.

2.Auto refresh media explorer when Reaper creates new files. (after glue, recording etc..)

4. maybe better yet, have settable ranges for rate/pitch knobs. while i'd likely ocassionally use a larger range, more often i'd want a narrower one for more granularity. being able to set a min/max for the knobs might be useful here.

5. display option for knobs or sliders might be good. setting min/max range might be easier with sliders if it was done via a dropdown text entry box at either end of the scale.

thanks,

I was advised to describe my FR here directly so once again.




Can we please have this resizable? It's ironic that this field becomes wider only when you reduce the width of media explorer. I literraly never used this dropdown ReaperFileList.

The Rate knob is invisible when Media Explorer is docked and has the minimum width set:




My FR for ME: reordering the shortcuts with Ctrl+Up/Down like in FX Browser.


Why is reordering the shortcuts in ME noticeably slower than in FX Browser?

Since this has become a thread for all kinds of media explorer related suggestions, I would like to share mine too. Actually there is only 2 things I wish were possible, both related to quickly stopping unwanted playback.

1) Sometimes when accidentally playing back a very loud audio file I would like to be able to very quickly stop playback. Pressing the stop button or a hotkey or reaching or the volume takes too long. It would be great if one could just click the audio file that is being played once again and playback stops (and the cursor resets to the start position).

2) Sometimes it happens that I play back a long audio file and it keeps playing when I drag it in. I don't want to keep hearing the file untile I stop playback or release it in the arrange. When I drag it, it means that I have already decided that it is what I need so playback should stop.
Also in some cases I already know the content of a file and don't want to preview but just drag it into the arrange. In my opinion playback should only started when I release the mouse button, so I can decide whether I want to hear it or just drag it in directly.

Because these 2 features are not present autoplay on single click is useless to me, which is a pity as I would love to use it so that I don't need to double click each file to hear it. But safety goes first.

Will we be able to run the right-click options in media explorer (on a selected selection of an audio file) like 'insert selected portion into project as an action? to assign to a keyboard shortcut letter?

Or maybe a submenu with 3 options, this would be more logical I think.
A - Z
Z - A
User order

Now the question is, would it be better if dragging in sorted modes was disabled or enabled? If enabled, the first reorder of elements would overwrite existing user order and swap mode to User order. If disabled, the user order would be changable only by selecting it and redragging all elements.

Could Media explorer auto refresh it's current folder after a render?

The reason for this is that if I render into the folder that is currently showing in media explorer. It's not that easy to get it to show the newly created files. Even pressing F5 doesn't work straight away and sometimes you have to go up one directory and back down again to get them to show.

Thanks and keep up the amazing work on the media explorer!

Oh and I can also recreate the issue someone else mentioned earlier whereby double clicking between two cue markers to select that area didn't quite match up when then dragging that selection into the arrange.

It was a few samples out either side.

But.. Very powerful and fast feature that already came in handy today!

+1. Also the way Focus works after dropping a file is an issue. Drop a long sample into the project, it continues playing after the drop, naturally you hit Space to stop the sound playing but instead you Start the playhead. Now you have the Media Explorer playing as well as the project!

-should either Stop after dropping the sample, or Retain Focus On Media Explorer after dropping

Also, is anyone else having issues with REAPER locking up when uploading libraries from Kontakt 5? This has never been a problem before (and I haven't updated Kontakt in years.) Feels like it might be a memory leak?
