Sample Browser: go to root
hurdygurdy
Posts: 37
When loading a sample, the browser remembers the location of the last used sample and starts there. It can be really useful, but if I want to choose a very different sample, I have press back several times to get to the root folder again. It happens too often, that i miss the root folder and exit the browser by mistake. My suggestion is that there should be a "go to root" button or shortcut. Long-press-BACK could work, or hold Shift + BACK.

upvoted.
implementation: i'd go further than a Shortcut, for a sampler there can't be enough helpers in the file browser. in v3 we can now search samples (in the current folder), still it is very easy to get lost navigating a large sample lib with the 4 letter display imho.
alternative UX idea: Audition/Mute columns are currently unused when in the file browser (other than exiting file browser)
the top Audition/Mute pads could be used as "one folder up", or "go to root". and reassign the Back button for exiting the file browser (more consistent UI imho).
shameless pluck, draft to use Mute/Audition columns in all file browsers, similar to a minimal Finder/Explorer (mac/win): http://forums.synthstrom.com/discussion/1644/file-browser-use-launch-section-columns-to-show-current-folder-content
