Well, there is a lot one could do straight from the segment. For example, double-clicking on it could open a little viewer from which you could set the start and end points and potentially do a whole host of other things that didn't actually involve real editing. And then there's plugin automation curves... It's a step towards a whole summer of code in itself, really. That said, a simple bit more information like you suggest wouldn't go at all amiss. > Want to import a .wav file, do File -> Import I would like to have a File menu function to bring a file directly in. One interesting problem is that the way we use the word "Import" means something different -- it means to make a whole new document out of a foreign file format. It would be hopelessly inconsistent to put an operation that just brought in a single audio file to the current document on the "Import" submenu. The operation we want for audio is actually a "merge", in our terminology, but that would sound stupid. So it isn't actually obvious what our new function would be called or where it would go. Funny how development can get so hung up on such simple problems.
