The (batch) renaming of wave filenames within a Giga file... is AWave still the best solution for this? It\'s not 100% compatible with Gigafile 2.0 I think.

Well, the thing is, as you can\'t rename the files within GSEdit, you need another, 3rd party application that can also read and alter Giga format.

As far as I know, AWave is the only one that can do that. Unfortunately it only reads 1.0 (or so it seems). So about all of your settings are lost, just to rename something.

Renaming of the wave pool files can be really useful, to replace a set of samples by a new set with slightly different names, for instance.

No, you can\'t batch-change names, but you can alter individual sample names under sample properties (R or double L click in wave pool), and alter folder names by creating a new folder with the new name and copying all the samples into it -? or what did you mean?

Mind you: renaming 1 sample takes 5s. Therefore 4 octaves of 3 dynamics takes, er, 12mins, -same time as it takes to have a cr@p
