It's looking like FreeSysle is possibly the app you were thinking of? I'm trying it out today. Old story, which I know you know, but I'd really like to see the Region List beefed up so that it doesn't fail with large nubers of files (it dies here with more than a few hundred files) and then someday have some of this retiming capability in Ardour.
