- better selection
Loop ranges are set from the current edit head and tail positions (the blue line markers) by pressing Transport/Loop menu item or toolbar button. Once set it won't change unless you toggle/set it again to newer edit marker positions. The edit head and tail markers (left and right blue marker lines) can be moved freely, either on the main track canvas or in the top time ruler and they often do follow the current clip selection range. Loop ranges are shown by green line markers and changes only when you invoke the Transport/Loop menu or button action.

- zooming
Will you be surprised that zoom direction can be already selected? Yes, on current CVS (qtractor 0.3.0.1202 by the time of this writing) you have this zooming options: View/Zooom/Horizontal, Vertical or All. :)

- project management
Now Qtractor is not Ardour, is it? Qtractor session project file, a plain xml encoded file, just takes references of file paths relative to the session directory (File/Properties...). So, all files imported into a qtractor session are considered to be linked as in ardour parlance. That means you should not change, move orf rename those files outside of qtractor runtime context once a session is saved to a .qtr file. If that ever happens there's only one workaround: you must edit the .qtr xml file (under a regular text editor) and correct the affected file paths and session directory.

Making a bulk session file, where all media content is present on a single file archive, is a common feature request and is not that out of reach. However is not that a priority to me, to be sincere I would be pleased if someone else steps in and does all the necessary and proper implementation ;)

- clip merge facility
I've also thought about this one but, until now, there's nothing of the sort, yet.

- record into existing one
Another one which has been already requested before, most specially if not exclusively applicable to MIDI clip cases, of course. And, yes, one should put a proper name into that...

Keep them coming!
Cheers
