Currently peak files are either generated on import or manually, but when doing it manually I've found there can be a bug where it will forever refuse to generate certain peak files from then on no matter what you do, and of course the infamously hopeless "Clip -> Generate Waveform".
Because of those issues, I keep it set to automatically generate on import, but I often have to find something else to do while the peak files generate as it makes every other process very slow. It would seem a simple answer to fix the 'Generate Waveform' bug, or if I could select on import whether to generate peak files for a specific import, and not another.
E.g. I'm editing a two camera shoot, both rolling almost all day with multiple audio channels on both, but I only want one camera's audio and the zoom audio. I could import one folder, tick yes to generate peak files, and import the next and leave it unchecked, etc.
Pretty much any level of control over what and when peak files are generated would save me so much time, and greatly improve the workflow.
Let me know if you agree or if I'm missing something!
