I just downloaded a .zip folder full of drum kit samples. Now, it immediately appears in my Downloads folder, and I can extract it and everything is there and is (apparently) accessible. Clicking the .wav files opens and plays them.. no problem there. All of this also appears in my Music folder with the same conditions. All of that done in Win 10 using File Explorer.
When I'm in Reaper using ReaSamplOmatic5000, I click ADD (right side of the FX window) and it opens a Reaper media window with a bunch of other downloaded samples I've collected. The filepath shown at the top of that window matches that of the same folder that would be opened through File Explorer, but..the newly downloaded folder and it's contents are not there. Still in the FX-ADD-opened media folder, I move to my Music folder and the newly downloaded folder is not there either. However, opening these folders directly using File Explorer reveals the newly downloaded .zip folder and all it's contents.
I hope that wasn't too confusing.
So I tried dragging the .zip folder from a File Explorer window to the Reaper media folder and it refuses to accept it. Now I'm really puzzled. So.. I open the unzipped folder and drag the next subfolder, which contains all the files and samples, into the Reaper media folder window and BANG!! it goes right in no problem, and now I can access all the samples from that .zip folder - BUT the original "zipped" folder can't be transferred in the same manner.. go figure.
That's puzzling because I have several other zipped folders in the same Reaper media folder, so why won't this one go in..? It's contents will.. but the container won't.
Huh...
I don't really need it to go in there now, but I am wondering why this folder is behaving differently.
