Re: better navigation than the current pop-up menu

I've thought that using OS X's bundles would be an ideal solution.  An 
.exs file could contain all the samples, should the user/developer 
choose, and access to the individual .wav files would be as easy as 
choosing "Show Package Contents" under the contextual menu like you can 
do now for any application.  Then you could still save an .exs file 
with any programming changes as a separate file without the samples, or 
a sub patch within the uber .exs file like .gig files have.  To me this 
makes managing sample content a lot easier.

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
