Asking here because I feel like I know more Linux-heads here:
When I was still on Windows, I had lots of ways to quickly browse through folders of sound effects, with quick previews. Adobe Audition had that nice browser panel with auto-play on click, for example. What's a good way to do that in Linux? I'm on Kubuntu, if that matters.
I was trying Open Cubic Player for this, which wasn't bad but I kept accidentally quitting the program when I wanted to go back to the file picker.
@wildweasel in Dolphin, activate the information panel (if you haven't yet), right-click it, and check the option for auto-play media files. It will play them as you hover over the file.
caveat: I did not try it with .wavs but it's worth a shot
Yesterday I was adding some cartoon sound effects to a video (strictly shitposting) in KDenLive, and found that the "quickest" way was to mass-add the entire folder into the Project Bin. Which made a huge mess, and I couldn't find a feature in KDenLive to remove unused clips from the bin afterwards. Surely there's a better way to preview large amounts of WAV files before importing.
