Summary0001590: Pasting samples from Audacity
Description

One feature request I'd like to see in a future version of OpenMPT is the ability to copy a sound from Audacity and paste it into the sample editor.
Right now when I'm sampling from real life or a VST in another program, I record the sample in Audacity, save it as a WAV file, import it by finding where I saved it in the load file dialogue, and then fine-tune it (trim whitespace, resample, add loop point, etc) with the sample editor. Being able to paste straight from Audacity would speed this process up tremendously. Do you think this would be feasible?

TagsNo tags attached.
Has the bug occurred in previous versions?
Tested code revision (in case you know it)

OpenMPT reads the CF_WAVE clipboard format. That's the standard way of exchanging audio data on Windows through the clipboard. If Audacity doesn't support that, you will have to ask them to support it. Even if Audacity would use a custom Windows clipboard format (it doesn't seem to use the Windows clipboard at all), it wouldn't be viable for OpenMPT to support every proprietary clipboard format of other applications which may change without further notice.
