Hi Your question is about the Android app OpenSongApp. This Project is about OpenSong, an application for desktop operating systems MacOS, Windows and Linux. This project has inspired OpenSongApp, but is otherwise not connected to the development of OpenSongApp. Nevertheless, I am somewhat familiar with OpenSongApp. The error message is caused by the fact that the tokens used in the presentation order field do not match the tokens used in the section headers. I suggest, that you edit that song: first...

Another question: will Opensong ever by made available for Linux? Yes, sure! You can download a copy from Sourceforge. it is available as a .tar.gz archive and as a .deb package for both x64 and armhf (intended for Raspberry Pi). Even the latest binary version is rather old by now and has dependencies to libraries, that are no longer available in the most recent distros. There is a discussion on how to still make it work on those systems in this forum: #356 Linux deb libwebkit2gtk dependency. On...
For some strange reason, the installation went into another 'Opensong' folder: D:\Nextcloud\Opensong\Opensong on the new machine. That would obviously have caused a syncing problem. Another question: will Opensong ever by made available for Linux? Microsuck is really ripping the lake from underneath the ducks and the soone I can get my machines free from all the bloatware and other nonsense, the better. Blessings in the name of Yeshua to all concerned with this project.
There was a bug in unit conversion calculations between inches, points and centimeters which may have caused page size and margin settings to run off, and eventually cause an error as you got. It already has been fixed in the code repository and will be included in the next release. For now, the fix is, as you did. If editing these settings from the print settings dialog is no longer possible, the remedy is to restore a backup of the file PrintSettings in the Settings folder within OpenSong's document...

Thanks for your reply. I've found an anomaly and will check that after everything has synced.

I installed Opensong on a cloud server, thinking it would make things easier. ... Checking the information from an explorer window, the files are all there, but trying to open them via Opensong is impossible. I am not sure how your installation / setup looks like exactly now. If you installed OpenSong on the remote (cloud) server, you will access OpenSong using a remote desktop connection. OpenSong does not know about this. From it's perspecivem everything is local. If instead you have a local installation...

Thanks for tagging me, SvA. The modified OpenSong format that I developed to support Bibles that do not conform to the KJV book/chapter/verse structure was, in retrospect, very poorly described in FR #216. To the best of my knowledge, no one has created a Bible XML file in that format other than me. I have not created a DTD or other formal description, though perhaps I should since it provides a middle level between the simple OpenSong format and the Zefania 2005 format that is somewhat more complex...
OpenSong's own format is simpler, as it supports only the bare necessity for it to work in OpenSong. Bibles in this format should adhere to the versification of the King James Bible, i.e. use the same number of chapters for each book, and use the same number of verses for each chapter respectively. There is a file format extension to overcome this restriction, but as far as I know there's no public example and no public documentation for it. I would have to reverse engineer it (or maybe @swampcat...
Thanks very much. I will follow up on that. Unfortunately it looks as though the FG Bible DropBox website hasn't been updated for about 12 years... quite a pity. As you say, a time-consuming process. Hopefully I can pass it on to a youngster!
Glad to hear that your problem is now fixed. My next question is: how easy is it to convert a bible in pdf to a format for Opensong? There are two bible formats supported in OpenSong. Both are based on XML. OpenSong's own format is simpler, as it supports only the bare necessity for it to work in OpenSong. Bibles in this format should adhere to the versification of the King James Bible, i.e. use the same number of chapters for each book, and use the same number of verses for each chapter respectively....

I uninstalled 3.4.6 and removed any refence to Opensong, after which I installed 3.4.8, but this time on my cloud space, where I also store theWord and other Scripture files. This just makes it easier to use from the second computer. It opened well and works as I was used to - no more freezing in SET mode. Thanks for your tips, as the system integrity probably did the job. My next question is: how easy is it to convert a bible in pdf to a format for Opensong? I've looked at other posts, but can't...
Thanks very much for all these tips. I will certainly try everything in succession and see what works.
Hi thank you for all the new information. This demonstrates, that my hunch about the reason for the lock-up was wrong. Sorry about all that all that talk about the innards of the set file, and making you to poke around it. With your update, I can't think of any problem within the set nor with anything that would be saved in any of the configuration files. So for now, there is no point in sending me any of those, as I most likely won't be able to reproduce your problem. What you can try, besides re-installing...
I installed 3.4.8 on a different computer where everything seems to work fine, even older sets that would freeze my main computer. It is possible that there is a glitch in my computer, but I wouldn't know where to start looking, apart from completely blow the OS and reinstall everything. Any ideas?
Thanks for your response and the extended explanation. I am familiar with HTML and therefore understand most of the code in the XML file. As per your suggestion, I validated the file and it passed 100%. I deleted all the gibberish from the file, saved it under another name, opened that and had the same freezing result. I validated that file as well without a problem. I then uninstalled 3.4.7, downloaded and installed 3.4.6 and tried everything again - and it froze. Next I restarted and opened the...
Thanks for reporting back. It looks like you narrowed the source of the problem down to that set, or even the set item. It is probably easiest to use an older version of the set as a base for new edits. You may try to find the part within the set, that causes the problem, but that is likely not that easy, especially when you are not used to edit xml files in a text editor. From what I understand, you are able to load the set into OpenSong, but problems appear as soon as you make that particular set...

Thanks for your suggestion. However, it didn't work. I renamed the file in question "preferences.plist-old" and restarted Opensong. It looke fine, but what I used to di, was take the previous week's playlist and update it with new songs and images, also changing the date. I do this by opening the set from the previous week. I have an item {date (custom} with specific information. As soon as I select that item, it freezes up and nothing works - not the keyboard, not the mouse, except killing the application...

Newbie here! I just found the multiple files option on the app. However, when I "select all" and scroll to bottom of files, there is no import button to click. I have 826 songs to import. Is that perhaps the problem? I have successfully imported a few songs one at a time. Thanks so much.

Hello, Thank you very much for your answer and for the link to issue #356. Yes, my issue is indeed related to the missing libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37 dependency on newer Debian releases (like Debian 13). The .deb package of OpenSong 3.4.8 can’t be configured anymore because these libraries were completely removed from the official repositories.

So, what happens when you start OpenSong now? Does it partially or completely start and then freeze (i.e. it does not respond to keyboard input and mouse clicks). Does it display any messages? Did you configure it to start up in Set mode? Did you configure it to automatically load the last Set and / or Song? What does the main window show when OpenSong is frozen I have not heard of any problem causing OpenSong to freeze. So I suppose you run some software on your system that misbehaves, or your system...

Hello, I’m encountering an issue on several Linux distributions, particularly Debian 13, where OpenSong is no longer working correctly. This is due to the use of outdated dependencies that have been removed in recent versions of these Linux distributions. As a result, the application can no longer launch or function properly. The problem seems to stem from OpenSong relying on libraries that are no longer available in the repositories of recent Linux versions. This kind of incompatibility is becoming...
