added target filename to GUI - not adding brain session or directory as less need for it/more clutter... partially fixes: #76

sorted file paths so we have separate ones for each dialog - fixes: #75
commented out unused and confusing old code - fixes: #28

+Larger wav files like whole tracks can be used, but take a long time

+# Flatpak Build Instructions
+
+## Prerequisites
+To build the Flatpak, install the `flatpak` and `flatpak-builder` packages
+from your repositories. Then, [add Flathub](https://flatpak.org/setup/).
+
+Now, install the KDE SDK:
+```sh
+flatpak install flathub org.kde.Sdk//5.15-22.08
+```
+
+## Building and installing
+To build and install the app locally:
+
+```sh
+flatpak-builder --force-clean --install --user builddir build-aux/flatpak/org.thentrythis.Samplebrain.yaml
+```
+
+## Building and exporting
+To build and export a Flatpak bundle:
+
+```sh
+flatpak-builder --force-clean --repo=repo builddir build-aux/flatpak/org.thentrythis.Samplebrain.yaml
+flatpak build-bundle repo org.thentrythis.Samplebrain.flatpak org.thentrythis.Samplebrain
+```
+
+To install the bundle:
+
+```sh
+flatpak install org.thentrythis.Samplebrain.flatpak

+# Building from source
+## Linux (Ubuntu)
+Install libraries for the sample engine (use brew on mac, MinGW on win):
+
+    $ sudo apt install libsndfile1-dev portaudio19-dev liblo-dev libfftw3-dev
+
+Install dependencies for the interface:
+
+    $ sudo apt install build-essential qtcreator qt5-default
+
+On ubuntu 22.04 it's:
+
+    $ apt install build-essential qtbase5-dev qtchooser qt5-qmake qtbase5-dev-tools
+    
+Build & run it:
+
+    $ mkdir build
+    $ cd build
+    $ qmake ..
+    $ make
+    $ sudo make install
+    $ samplebrain
+
+## Mac
+Install libraries for sample engine:
+
+    $ brew install fftw portaudio liblo libsndfile
+
+Install dependencies for the interface:
+
+    $ brew install qt
+    $ brew link qt
+
+Build & run it:
+
+    $ mkdir build
+    $ cd build
+    $ qmake ..
+    $ make
+
+`samplebrain.app` should then be in the app folder for you to run.
+
+# Mac build additions
+
+To make a mac app bundle:
+
+Run `macdeployqt` which copies all dependencies inside the app.
+
+    $ cd build
+    $ macdeployqt
+
+If the icon is not visible, you might need to copy desktop/samplebrain.icns (the icon) to the Resources directory in the app bundle.
+
+    $ cp ../desktop/samplebrain.icns samplebrain.app/Contents/Resources
+
+Then edit Info.plist to add samplebrain.icns to CFBundleIconFile. Key `CFBundleIconFile` should match:
+
+	<key>CFBundleIconFile</key>
+	<string>samplebrain.icns</string>
+
+You might also need to resign the app bundle after making any changes
+
+    $ codesign --force --deep --sign - samplebrain.app
+
+# Windows (Work in progress)
+
+* Install [MSYS2](https://www.msys2.org/)
+* Install dependances via pacman
+* Build with qmake as usual
+* Run `windeployqt` and copy missing .dll files into release directory

+    <p>
+      Samplebrain chops samples up into a &apos;brain&apos; of interconnected small sections called blocks which are connected into a network by similarity. It processes a target sample, chopping it up into blocks in the same way, and tries to match each block with one in it&apos;s brain to play in realtime.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      This allows you to interpret a sound with a different one. As we worked on it (during 2015 and 2016) we gradually added more and more tweakable parameters until it became slightly out of control.
