The idea is to add a reverse audio checkbox to the Merge/Export form.
The reverse transformation would be applied as the final step to the resulting audio after the final merge process, just before writing the file to disk.
In my mind, this would be a viable way to achieve reverse audio functionality within Qtractor.
P.S.
The other option is to make audio clips have a reverse option. However, audio clips have many implications in the code, and coding that would be complex.
Or a Button "external editor"
This was discussed years ago and if I remember correctly there were problems updating internal Qtractor structures.
Avoid conflicts
Then it could be done as a separate process from the merge.
That would ensure it doesn't conflict with anything.
It performs the merge process normally. Once it's finished, if the box is checked, it calls reverse.
Reverse reads the file, reverses it, saves it, and updates the waveform.
Unless the problem is regenerating the waveform...
If there are no problems updating the waveform when merging, I don't understand why this should be different.
It's just an idea.
re. Avoid conflicts vs. External editor...
because the later is--would be--The total and universal solution ;)
cheers
True XD
Could f5 be made to update all waveforms?

It's not necessary
With exporting a clip (instead of merging), it don't need to update the waveform with f5.
Then, edit the clip's properties and set the new path to the externally edited reverse audio.
I'll use Kwave for things like this.
1 Export clip form
2 Copy path and OK
3 Open Kwave
4 Open file and paste path
5 Invert
6 Save and close
7 Properties of the clip to replace
8 Paste path and close
That's acceptable.
Replacing a wav file can be hairy
If the length has changed then there are several cases that have to be checked for, not only position but also offset and fade in/out.
So the universal solution is complex.
