Question: Would you consider adding a retrospective looping capability to Super8? That is, recording to a buffer and then the user has buttons that loop back the buffered 1/n of the measure? This approach to looping is used by beardyman to reduce friction and to avoid fussing around with deleting and re-recording loops when mistakes are made.

Question: How about wdl_log display __FILE__ __LINE__? Maybe you can use #define WDL_LOG(...) wdl_log_print(__FILE__, __LINE__, __VA_ARGS__) and void wdl_log_print(const char *file, int line, const char *fmt, ...) #else #define WDL_LOG(...) do {} while(0)

Question: I am so thankful that Reaper still works on Windows 7, as I have no intention of upgrading to W10. Are there any plans to change this? (Seems like too many other developers have abandoned W7 already)

Question: Why REAPER converts a video into audio when we glue the media item containing both (video & audio)? It doesn't make sense to me. I mean glue means to combine two media items into one, be it an audio or video item. Rather there should be something like "convert this video item into audio" option or something like?

Question: Why REAPER resource path is under "UsersAppDataRoaming" instead of "UsersAppDataLocal"? I head Local is for storing something permanently and Roaming is for storing it temporarily?
