Missing sample dialog improvement

+1 come on already native!

 

?

 

we are still not able to read the complete path in the missing sample box, neither is there the option to enlarge the box so the path can show in full.
this is a must in my opinion when you have to relocate files manually.

 

Suggestion added to the Top Requested Features sticky thread.

 

thanxabunch!

 

Now all we need is to see items from that list getting realized.

For this particular feature i have some hopes of improvement tho, because the team will probably work on Sounds.com integration as we speak and missing sample dialogue should be a core feature in this process.

 

+ Infinity! (I know it's been added to the Features thread, but this should have been caught and fixed before we had to complain about the tiny box and truncated File Path/Sample names)

 

I found a way to manually change the Missing Sample dialog Size, how to here:

Very nice D-One, thanks for this.

.. seeing how simple this fix is, means the dev team didnt even notice this request.

 

Impossible not to notice... Things are even worse. Feature Requests were never read by them ;-)

 

It is simple. If it does not generate €€€, it does not have any priority nor resources. The end.

 

You can already do that to your own samples or edits of library samples, renaming in Maschine (sampling menu) will rename the file 'in finder'.


If you change sample names in finder after saving projects than its normal they will be missing, why are you doing that to yourself man? ooohh the pain...

 

I wrote this after I finished organized a couple thousand samples in Maschine again and reported my original post to be deleted. But I think this could be an improved version of a missing sample dialogue

1. If .mx___ file is missing it’s .wav sample(s), then make it search the rest of the folders already in the file directory for samples already imported to maschine with the same name. Then If successful, Have the file path automatically save/update itself from that point on.

2. If Maschine sampler can’t find the file, then you press the find sample button, maschine will (if permitted) search your whole device(s) for the missing file automatically

3. If Maschine sampler still can't find the file, missing sample dialogue will let you copy the name of your sample to the clipboard so you can paste it and find it yourself with one click.

4. Give the option to scan a selection of multiple (either) .mxsnd, or .mxprj, or .mxgrp files in the maschine browser for missing samples and relocate all of them at once.
