Track View Drag/Drop from Explorer Option: Do not copy WAV to Global, use relative

[Colin Nicholls]

So the Track View has some Drag-n-Drop options:

I would love to see another option added to this for dragging from Windows Explorer or the Media Browser:

[X] Do not copy WAV to Global Audio folder; use existing (relative) Path

Background on Use-Case:

I'm working on a Sample Library and I have all my samples in the correct library directory structure. I am loading them into a Cakewalk project in order to select, sort, and built sets of SFZ patch files. I do not need to have all the WAVs duplicated or relocated. I have saved my CWP project as "do not copy audio data with project".

So far the only way I have found to keep the files where they are is to Right-Click, Import, and clear the "copy audio to project folder" checkbox. I thought that Drag-n-Drop from the Media Browser would be faster but it is copying the files into the global audio folder. There should be an option to Not Do That.
