[DONE] Load audio files feature request

When setting the -Load audio files path- you get a window like this when track files and track names don't correspond.

1. It would be great if there was a button to select all tracks which do not have corresponding audio files (Tracks missing in Load path), so one can delete these tracks at once.

2. With this window still open, one can only click 'OK' to do anything in the project but then the window disappears and one can't see the 'Tracks missing in Project' anymore. This makes it cumbersome to create or rename the missing tracks in the project. Is there a way keep that window open while one can change the project tracks?

It makes working with templates easier.

It works like a charm. Very happy with it! And realised quickly!

Just one minor issue:
These two windows pop up when choosing the 'Load audio files' command to set the 'Load path':

I cannot scroll through the left window and check the track and audio file names as long as the right window is open. When I click 'Cancel' I can but have to start over with the 'Load audio files' command after checking the names. If clicking 'OK' I get a nice list of all tracks to be deleted after the next confirmation. However, I cannot compare them with the names listed in the left window.

I can live with this minor issue easily, but want to mention it in case it can be solved.

Yes, that's because the message box is a "modal" dialog so it prevents access to other windows until you answer the question.

I think, however, there should also be a file "Console.txt" in the REAPER Resource directory that contains the same info that is displayed in the REAPER Console window. You can open that using a text editor or just "cat" it to the screen using Terminal and look through it before you click the OK button.

Let me know how that works for you.

That's a good tip, Jonathan. It works for me.
