Pattern description cannot be saved

[swingnjazz]

I'm using Hydrogen 0.9.6-beta3 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and I like it very much. In song editor I can enter a pattern description (see attached screenshot). However this is gone after the hydrogen file is saved, closed and re-opened.

In the .h2song file there is no tag or the like in section of the :

 <patternList>
  <pattern>
   <name>my pattern</name>
   <category>bass practicing</category>
   <size>192</size>
   <noteList>
    <note>
     <position>0</position>
     ...

Hi!
Thanks for the report, indeed it looks like the pattern description is only respected if you save the pattern via its own context menu (and save it into a seperate h2pattern file..).

This problem should be solved now in our git repository..

Hi Sebastian,

I would gladly test the fix, but unfortunaely I don't have a build
environment at hand to build the application from git.

Do you have some links to How-to's or tutorials for me to learn how to
setup a build and test environment. Help would be much appreciated.

Greetings
Alfred Peters

Hi Sebastian,
I have set up a build environment to test the fix. The tutorial helped me a lot. Thank you for your support.

Your fix works fine, Hydrogen behaves as expected.
Thank's a lot.
