[FEATURE REQUEST] Option to choose category opened to by default #217

Closed audio2000 closed 1 month ago

audio2000 commented 2 months ago

In certain situations I feel it could be very beneficial to maybe offer a setting to allow user to choose which "category" is shown in Polyphone by default when opening up an instrument. By "category" I am referring to the side bar categories..... GENERAL / SAMPLES / INSTRUMENTS / PRESETS By default each instrument loads to the GENERAL section but if have a specific function in my that needs to be performed to many instruments over and over, it could be nice to be able to just quickly set Polyphone to open right to that section rather than having to navigate through in each instrument one at a time. Hopefully this makes sense. Thank You

Added bonus would be another sub setting for the request made above, which would allow the default category chosen, to automatically have its first layer expanded so can instantly see its contents. Thank you again

I'm not comfortable with this kind of option. I understand that it might be useful in this specific use case, but knowing that all categories are one click away when opening a soundfont, adding another option doesn't make sense. It's also unlikely that users will know about it.
