Description
Consolidating issues about sample file location or missing sample file search.
- [ ] Allow several sample paths (#2842)
- [x] Search in project file's directory (#2982) [Milestone: 1.3]
- [ ] Search for sample files with same name but different extension (#2825)
- [ ] Search on other storage devices (#4266)
As long we don't have support for sample bundling (#1257), we should store more information about samples in the project file to be able to locate them better. At the moment, we only store the file name & absolute path. Additional ideas:
* File size
* File hash
* Acoustic fingerprint (would help relocation even if the file was re-encoded)
* A flag indicating whether the sample is a factory sample shipped with LMMS
* Other metadata?

Research direction
Review the unchecked sample-location items #2842, #2825, and #4266, along with the project-file sample information described here. First determine which single relocation or metadata improvement is in scope; done should mean that scoped sample-location behavior is implemented and the related checklist item can be closed.
