This may due to me advancing along in my yers and slowly loasing my memory but :

If I send a tx16wx performance and the associated program files to someon and he opens it for the first time, the sampler asks as to where is the first sample by name.

As far as I remember, wasnt an additional option to just locate the correct root folder implemented ? Is the option somewhere and I missed it ?

You mean saving file with relative paths?

Nope. I mean this :

I have a folder full of drum samples in various subfolders. I map out the whole drumkit as a txperf file (and the related txprog files). I zip thes txperf and txprog files and send it to another user.

He unzips them and opens the txperf in tx16wx. It asks him to locate the first sample. Once located, it fills in the rest automatically. Everything works fine.

What I am asking is if there is an option to locate the root folder instead of locating the first file itself ? The user should just locate the root folder and tx16wx would search that and the child folders for all the relevant samples by name , thus populating the prog files.

I remember some discussion on this a little while back , but am not sure if it was implemeted.

That's pretty much what I said, though...

It is relative path behaviour, what you're describing. So, say you have stuff in folders

This Drumkit\My Stuff.txperf
This Drumkit\Samples\Folder 1\Sample1.wav ... Sample 30.wav
This Drumkit\Samples\Folder 2\etc.

Now, instead of writing the full path to each sample in .txperf file (example: C:\My Samples\This Drumkit\Samples\Folder 1\yaddayadda), what should actually be written in the .txperf file is just the folders RELATIVE to the .txperf file (in this case: \Samples\Folder 1\...). In this case the user wouldn't even have to locate the first sample, or the folder at all. The file would just load, on any computer really, if the folder structure is retained.

TX16Wx does not ask for root folder, but the file find dialog has a "search" button, which will begin an explorer file search from the current folder. Essentially the same thing, but letting the OS do the search (because it is better at it, has caches etc).

So, workflow:
- Open foreign program -> asks for first sample
- In file dialog, navigate to someplace on disk from where samples can be found (some parent folder, or disk root) (this is "selecting a root folder")
- Press "search". Wait. Hopefully file shows up. Select it. Watch everything load.

The user will still have to make the decision which resulting file is the searched for one. Is that to complicated, and hand-holding is required there as well? My take was that there might be more than one result, and as a user I might be more qualified to say "yes, that is the one" than a purely name-based search.

Also, of course, if samples are provided, as Dragon points out, in either the appropriate sub-folders, or in a path reachable through "places" this never arises anyway. But I know your your case often deals with third-party sample packs.

Yesss Calle that is it ! That was what we discussed before and I think it was implemented.

This is what is not happening. I cant find the search button.

Please see the screenshot.

It is only available on Vista+.
I think I have stated clearly that XP support will be minimal, and eventually (soon) phased out. I will not support unsupported OS:es.

Got a [Search] button here (in v2.4.0c build 3575 / Windows 7):

(but the full sample name is not displayed in the dialogue box (buglet))

Try the latest version?

Im sorry. I was testing on the office machine.

Thank you for the prompt support !

I was doing a short write-up / how -to guide for people using it for the first time...

more info to come soon

Thanks for the screenshot. That will help in doing the write up from the office machine.

No, that is a quirk of (some) windows common control behaviour. Not sure how to make it display the file name always correctly.
