I was wondering if there would be any way to see the specific file name of a sample that's in a pattern?

I'm not very organised with samples and some folders I've made have got very large, it would be useful if I can see which specific sample in a folder is being used for something like "kick:38" for example. Would save me time when I want to locate a sample to edit the audio

Ideally some custom function maybe like `display = kick:38` and it would show the file name?

Any other quick ways to locate a sample in large folders would be great, although I suppose the best solution is just to have better file organisation!

Cheers

The pulsar plugin has a sound browser that shows the file name of each sample
