Summary0000191: Sample Bulk Load
Description

While doing some composition, i had a folder dedicated to the samples that i was using for a particular track. I had to go thru every sample individually and create a new sample slot in MPT, about 2 dozen total. Since these were one-shots, i then needed to load them into a single multi-sample instrument and go thru each note on the Sample Map.

What could have made this job much easier would be a Bulk Load function. I envision an icon in the Smaples page icon bar which opens a Select Folder dialog. When the user chooses a folder, MPT searches for all readable sound files in it and creates one sample slot for each.
Bonus feature: Perhaps when Shift-clicking the Bulk Load icon, an instrument slot is also created which loads each sample in its own note (starting perhaps at C-5) and also designates that every assigned sample play at C-5, no matter what note it's assigned to.

I've also attached a possible candidate for the Bulk Load icon (twice normal size).

How about just selecting several samples in the load dialog?

Wha????

You mean if i click on the Load Sample icon, and select several samples they'll each load into their own sample slot?

If so, you can close this out and i'll write this up in the upcoming CHM.

Yes, just like you can load multiple songs or multiple instruments at once.
