Description:
Implement a feature in Loopy Pro that provides a quick-access shortcut or button to open the folder where the active project is currently saved. This could be via context menu, toolbar icon, widget, or keyboard/MIDI action.
Problem:
  • Users often need to locate project files (loops, audio stems, settings) in the filesystem but must navigate manually through directories.
  • This process is time-consuming and disrupts workflow, especially when exporting, importing, or sharing project components.
  • Lack of a direct shortcut increases friction during fast-paced live performances or studio sessions.
Proposed Solution:
  • Add a “Reveal in File Manager” action that opens the current project folder in Finder (macOS) or File Explorer (Windows).
  • Optionally provide this as a UI element—such as a toolbar button or widget you can place anywhere.
  • Also support triggering via keyboard shortcut or MIDI/stream-deck action for fast, hands-free access.
Benefits:
  • Streamlines file management tasks related to the active project.
  • Saves time when exporting stems, backing up, or collaborating.
  • Enhances efficiency during performance and production workflows.
Examples:
  • One-click access to the folder containing audio files for rapid drag-and-drop export.
  • Instantly navigate to project assets to share with collaborators.
  • Use a dedicated Stream Deck button to open project files during a live set.

Description:
Add option to open the folder where the current project is located instead of opening of projects root folder
Problem:
Currently, each time a user opens the project browser, it defaults back to the top root level. This disrupts workflow, especially when repeatedly working within a specific folder. Even more frustrating when there are more complex folder structure.
E.g. If I have opened project from folder structure Songs/Folk/Native and I want to go to other project in the same folder I have to click to folder button in the upper left corner, then click to Projects, then click to Songs, then click to Folk, then click to Native and finally choose project.
Proposed Solution:
Add a toggle setting that allow to directly reopens the folder where the current is located on.
Benefits:
Saves time by reducing repetitive navigation.
Improves workflow efficiency, particularly during live performance preparation.
Provides a more seamless and intelligent user experience across sessions.
