[solved] Reason ignoring folders and wav files

[SoundFactor]

Why is Reason ignoring some folders and wav files. Reason should be wav agnostic. Why is this a thing? See attached screenshots.

You are currently browsing for patches, so its filter those for you. See that rad banner at the top? just clear it by clicking the X on the right and you should see your files.
This is the default when you load a new rack, as it allows you to browse patches for the loaded rack.

Riiiiiight. Silly me. Thanks.

That same thing has tricked me a time or two.
Marking this one as solved.

I think it has caught most people out at some point. I can see what they are trying to do but it is a bit alarming to browse a folder that you know and see no files in it. You can turn it off somewhere in preferences but it's on by default. I've often thought that the file list box should have a prominent "Show All Files" button because, somehow, that bright orange thing at the top of the browser is really easy to miss.

Another thing that always trips me up is when I have duplicate refills. It won't open a refill if it sees an identical refill (which ever one was recognized by the browser first gets priority and can be opened, additional ones won't open).

I’ve always wondered why they don’t just “grey out” the options that are in the folder but not applicable to the current browser focus. That’s all it would take to know you’re in a ‘focus’ mode (without the freakout over not seeing ANY files at all).

This is actually a bug. The Reason browser should still show the subfolders of any directory - no matter what you are browsing.
I think it will be fixed in the next point update.

With regards to the files themselves, I actually prefer not seeing any other file type than the one that I am browsing.
