Import Songs #29

Hi, i've been using this software for 2 years or so, and it's great, thank you for everything!

I was wondering, if there's a way to import a complete song, with his patterns and his samples, the same way pattern import works.

Thanx again for creating this.

Thanks for the feedback!

Right now there's no way to do this, but it wouldn't be super difficult to implement.

Here's the bug for importing patterns: https://github.com/skratchdot/open-electribe-editor/issues/3

And the code that made it possible: https://github.com/skratchdot/open-electribe-editor/commit/d20d41d43e40337489c4e08af741b86fe3eea298

It'd probably make more sense to have Song, Pattern, and Sample import wizards that could work together (for instance when using the Song import- it could re-use the Pattern and Sample import logic).

Anyways, with all that said, I'm going to be working on re-writing the program this winter, and breaking it out into a cleaner (hopefully) api. I'd like to be able to have command-line tools that are easy for people to write, as well as re-do the GUI in html/css/js (so it's potentially easier for people to contribute, etc).

If all that goes well, then maybe Song/Pattern/Sample importing will be easier.
