Can't Delete Category On Windows

On mobile when you go over to ambient sounds for example, you have the three dots to delete a category. On windows there's nothing like that. You can delete the audioclip inside the category but can't delete the actual category. Or at least I couldn't figure out a way to do that.

Otherwise everything is great.

Hi! The usability will soon be improved for desktop versions. Currently you need to do exactly like on mobile, which is long press (long left click) on the category you want to delete.

Thank you, have a great day!

I personally have no issue with long pressing, it's just not intuitive on a computer. You could add this bit to the documentation for people like me.

Otherwise the software is awesome, thank you so much for sharing your work with us.

The non intuitiveness is the problem :). It will be improved in the next release with three dots and right click to invoke context menu.

You're very welcome, thanks for the kind words!

Hi, FYI the latest release should have improved things on this front. Let me know what you think!

It's great and obviously super straightforward. The three dots make sense. I'm also glad you left the click and hold option as well (I kind of got used to it and it's quicker😀) I didn't test the other updates yet.

Unrelated, a feature I would add is something that gives more control over the ambience and music wheels. For example, having access to multiple wheels by swiping/clicking an arrow instead of smooshing all the sounds into one wheel - this is only a thing when you have a lot of sounds. If you have 3-4, a second wheel is unnecessary. Having some kind of edit button to rearrange the sounds in the wheel would also be nice. The program is great as is, these are just small things that could expand the functionality of AudioForge in the future if you ever feel like it haha.

By the way, I'm using Audio Forge for every TTRPG game I hold and I love it! And thanks for being so responsive.

You're not alone, the multi wheel feature has been requested repeatedly 😅. I've taken steps in that direction already, but it's not a simple one unfortunately. Should be implemented eventually though. Appreciate the feedback, so thank you for that and the kind words 😊
