Ok, so it's by design. That's what I wanted to know, thanks for clarifying this. I can also understand the rationale behind this.

  * export sample-editor results as an audiofile

That would be very convenient.

  * quick create new instrument button. this will simple create an new h2 
instrument which
    include the resulting sample. my idea is, simple arrange the new instrument 
directly
    below the instrument that you currently modifying. the problem here is that 
you have
    to store the resulting audio file. currently i have no idea where i store 
this files.

That would be even more convenient. But if I have the first option above then I can easily create the new instrument myself. Anyway, an obvious default for the filenames would be ~/.hydrogen/data/samples/%s-%d.%s, where %s.%s is the basename of the original sample, and %d is some serial number to make the filename unique so that you don't overwrite any existing files.

but this improvements cannot reconstruct the main goal from the sample editor 
rubberband
implementation. i mean the 
instrument-layer-rubberband-batch-processor-function. :)

Yes, that's a very nice feature. But DrMr could support this in the future as well, as soon as hosts adopt the LV2 Time extension which is still in the making. So I'm not sure that I buy your argument that the two are for totally different use cases. :)

What's special about Hydrogen, however, is its user interface. People like it exactly because it's so dead-easy to use for the purpose that it has been designed for. And now we can use Hydrogen to create the drumkits and patterns that we need, and then employ DrMr to port them over to Qtractor where the rest of the arrangement can be done. That's very useful already, even though DrMr has only been announced less than a week ago. ;-) DrMr definitely fills a gap there.
