Feature request - Dragged and dropped .WAV file is imported as impulse response - add dialog box or preference to import as audio data

[georger_br]

Hi,
By default a dragged and dropped .WAV file is imported as impulse response, and the Span before peak and Span after peak controls apply. It would be convenient to drag and drop a .WAV file and have it imported as audio data (i.e. with no span controls for imported audio files, the spectrogram is generated for the whole span of the file).
Please consider including a dialog box or an option that allows the user to choose whether to import the dragged and dropped .WAV file as impulse response or audio data.

When I drag and drop the .WAV file it gets imported as impulse response, and the spectrogram is only generated up to 1000 ms:

When I import the .WAV file as audio data via the menu, the spectrogram is generated for the whole span of the file:

I like REW a lot. Thanks for any attention.

Best regards,

Georger

If you do not use dragging, then the file as audio data will be imported as follows:
File -> Import -> Import Audio Data

I'll make a change in the next beta build so that WAV files dragged onto the REW window with the Ctrl key pressed are treated as audio imports.

Yes, that's how I do it now. I asked for a way to do it via drag and drop because it would be more convenient than clicking through the menu and browsing for the file.

Thanks John!
