Toggle Library button

Post by kineticUk » Sat Aug 06, 2005 2:37 am

In the browser instead of having one place used up for the library they should just make the library button switch the browser to the library temporarily and switch back to your location when pressed again.
This gives the user more default locations for accessing their sound librarys/Sets quickly and doesnt take away the option to browse the live library as well if you need to.It solves the problem for people who need the extra default location and doesnt affect functionality of live in a big way as the library button can still be used for just that.
Please share your views on this

Ok, but why not add more than three browser buttons? There is space enough for 10 more
sigs are out of fashion

10 library buttons would be good, but how will I ever remember which one is set to what?

unless we can name them it wont be much good.

please yes make the library button toggle the library browser on and off!!! there's no reason to make it replace one of our 3 pre-chosen locations


3 folder buttons aren't much to quickly access other files

currently i use folder...
1 for project files
2 for general loop library
3 for specific percussion sounds

and of course i'd love to have a few more folder buttons for fast access to specific sound folders in a live/performance situation

Yeah
I personally wouldnt like to have 10 preset locations but that is just because I only use the three at most and can navigate around to other folders pretty quickly from these default locations.I like things clutter free and simple but thats obviously just the way I work so others may feel there is a better solution.
I just felt I wouldnt need my library up all the time and thought that making the library button a toggle button instead would cause very little change to the way people use the browser and give them the one extra folder back.
