Another good idea for the feature request list.
I did a quick and dirty recording of an idea in my studio. I figured out
how to create a directory, and move the audio into it, and I thought I'd
share the workflow experience as a point of reference.
Step 1: I started a new project from a template.
Step 2: I recorded my drum kit, producing 11 audio files.
At this point, I'm sitting on "Unsaved project" or whatever. The files
have gone wherever they go in this situation.
Note that Rosegarden behaves differently here. We encourage the user to
save the file before recording, and incorporate the filename into the
audio files saved in ~/rosegarden/ as we thought that would be better
than just having globs of blah-Untitled-blah files in that directory.
So back to REAPER, Step 3: I go to File -> Save as new project or
something to that effect, and in the dialog where I give the file a
name, I also have several options to create a directory and move or copy
the files into that directory. I also have options for resampling the
files and otherwise running some filters on them, but I didn't explore
any of that.
The end product is that I have my .RPP file in the top level REAPER
MEDIA directory, and a new subdirectory of the same name, into which the
audio files I recorded have been moved.
Rosegarden could offer something very similar, and it would be pretty
easy to implement. I'd be happy to do a better job of putting together a
proposal if there is any interest.
My own interest level isn't that high, as I just couldn't use Rosegarden
for audio, even if my audio rig worked on Linux. I'd be using Ardour. My
needs are just too complicated for an application that never implemented
most of the audio features it originally envisioned. Richard Bown
stubbed out lots of things that just never went anywhere, and it is what
it is at this late date. We decided years ago to just focus on notation,
and that's there I focused a lot of my own development effort, to good
effect.
