Check if value changed before assigning to Left, Top, Width, Height properties of any control, trying to avoid triggering subsequent events
Fix condition to close last slide's external app, giving much smoother external slide changes
keep the presentation window aspect chosen by the host when moving / resizing it
Keep proper aspect for presentation preview images, both when retrieving it from the presentation host, and when showing it on the screen

Make the Splash window display status changes sooner
purely cosmetic changes: spacing, comments, capitalization
clean-up.
Hi Your OpenSong Documents folder is set to C:\users\admin\OneDrive\Documents. Your user profile appears to be at C:\users\admin. OneDrive below it is the folder OneDrive uses by default to sync files to the cloud. You do not have sufficient rights to create a folder in the folder you set as your OpenSong Documents folder. Likely there are more more rights missing. You need to have rights to read, write, create, and delete files and folders, as you do in your Windows Documents folder, where OpenSong's...

Hi Your font size appears to be larger in the new version. This is likely why the 2nd verse spills into the second column. (There is no auto-resizing to make lyrics fit, as there is for slide layout.) Then, you likely have a column break before the 2nd chorus. That's why it is placed on page 2. The difference in additional spacing rather than overlap may be due to the fons size change, It may also be due to some change caused by a different version of the font, or your new display driver, or your...

Undo a change made in r1546 - that optimization was over-enthusiastic and did not draw the slide without a transition enabled
Hi, I don't quite understand what issue you have, and what you tried to resolve it. The files OpenSong uses are all within OpenSong's Document folder as configured in General Settings, tab File locations. If you have chosen the radio button Default here, the folder is below your Windows Documents folder. If you have chosen Custom, the folder is where you have chosen. Change it again, if it changed, or select Custom again, and copy your files to the folder OpenSong directly below your Windows Document...

Yes, in the current version it is broken. The capo settings in Printer settings is being ignored. This has been fixed already, and will be in the upcoming release. Btw., your depicted settings in Settings.png are misleading. The proper setup for printing capo chords without the regular chords, is having turned on all three related options: Print chords, Print capo chords, and Hide regular chords. The upcoming version will also take care of the faulty word spacing (including overlaps).
Hi Silvia, I suspect you are talking about OpenSongApp, "the free Android song book app" found at https://www.opensongapp.com/, which is distinct from OpenSong, "a free, open-source software application created to manage lyrics, chords, lead sheets, overheads, computer projection, and more", running on Mac, Windows and Linux. In OpenSong you set the font in the style (in the setup, a style slice or on a slide group like a song). The program, dependent on it's setting, might shrink the font to some...
Without any further information (like which system, what error message ...) we can't really help you. You may try to reinstall OpenSong. Also try using a clean configuration: First try to delete preferences.plist below a folder with OpenSong in it's name (you may find where it is on your system by searching tickets, or your computer's file system). If that does not help, try to remove files in the Settings folder below OpenSong's document folder. Also clean out any non-OpenSong files and folders...

Hi, We need more information. What system are you on? What version of OpenSong are you using? How do you add songs? by creating a song from within OpenSong? by copying a song file from somewhere? some other way? To what folder are you adding the song What is the name of the song? (that is the name of the song file) What is the title of the song? Are there any other songs in the same folder you add the new one to already? If so, are those songs shown in OpenSong's list of songs? what happens when...

I can confirm the absolutely inacceptable visual flaws a modern PowerPoint creates with our automation. The library (or rather plugin) we use to automate PowerPoint is rather dated and it is unlikely it will get an update. So we needed to find a new way of automating PowerPoint. Moreover, a quick search for powerpoint automation surfaced lots of content concerning automated slide creation, but nothing up-to-date concerning remote controlling the presentation. For now, I recommend using PowerPoint...

Investigated why a thick grey frame was drawn around a ListBox when the primary and secondary selection was in the same cell (Windows 8.1). Turns out it is a bug (or undocumented feature?) in the framework. Fixed.

Hi, Thank you for reporting. We would like to find the cause for this, so we can fix it. So far, we have no clue and need additional information from you. There are some things here you can try to get it working again. Please report back, what you tried and what effect it had. I cannot replicate the issue here. I will have to set up a Windows 11 machine for testing, but as you report, the issue is not only on Windows 11. Please make sure you have a printer installed and it is selected as the default...

Last commit fixed the preview but broke the presentation window. Now both should work correctly.
In preview mode the PresentWindow and the PresentHelperWindow disagreed on what the aspect ratio of the presentation should be, resulting in possibly too small preview canvases
diverse small fixes
Update Language-Changelog.txt
Changes to imSplitter and the places where it is used, specifically
Hi, it is hard to say from the little information you give. Please try to alter your style settings, to see if that helps. If it does not, try to reset your setup. First back-up, then remove preferences.plist. If this did not help, back-up, then remove PresentSettings. On windows, the former is in shell:appdata\OpenSong (type this into the explorer's address bar), the latter in a folder named Settings below OpenSong's document folder (as configured in General Settings - File locations), usually this...

Hi, have you read and understood and followed my post above? Is something on your system in disagreement with what I said? Did you follow the instructions and your printout still has too small margins? If so, please explain what you are printing, how you go about it, and what your settings are.
two more small fixes that I missed in r1546
fine adjustments to control position, size, tab order and locking
cosmetic changes
diverse small fixes, in part from old trunk
introduce FolderDB.CombinePath in order to securely and consistently combine a song's name with it's path
fix broken r1542
removed a changelog entry: that feature never made it into a release. I had removed the feature again, because it caused issues with layout and position of text. We need other means of scaling and positioning images (for which this was intended).
Yes, it is working again. Thank you.

Hi, it is just that one file I linked to above that you need to replace. During installation, please choose English. Then download the file linked to above and place it in the folder OpenSong Languages.

Yes, we know. This has been addressed, both by me and by Xojo (the company providing the programming environment and runtime). A fix will be in the next release.

Hi This question should really not have been posted as a response to a support request ticket which has nothing to do with your question. You should have used the Open Discussion forum for this. If you had looked through the recent activity you would have noticed, that most requests get a timely response, most of which either requesting further information because the problem could not be identified / reproduced, or stating that the problem has been found, fixed, and will be included in the next...
Hi, in order to find out what may cause this, try the following. I suggest you first backup your current configuration, then do all modifications listed below. Check presentation, whether it still hangs. If it does we will have to find out some other thing that might be causing this. Please specify your system and all relevant components, in particular your distribution, your desktop manager, your screen configuration. If the hang disppeared, please revert configuration changes one by one and re-test....
Hi, this, then behaves differently than on my Windows machine. What operating System are you on? Is the font configured for lyrics printout actually installed on your system? What am I to do with the html export? This does not help investigating the issue. What I need is the contents of the Chord/Lyrics text edit, with all the spacing intact, or the song file (which contains this. By the way, you can attach pictures and documents to your posts directly here on SourceForge. This makes things easy...
What system are you on? Could you please edit your post, using code tags around lyrics and chords, so blanks are preserved, or add the song file as an attachment. I would like to check the latest revision in the repository against your song. Please, also check out Support request #295 chords and lyrics alignment. What happens, when you zoom in. Does placement tend to improve, or just erratically change? Is the spacing correct on an actual printout (rather than the preview)?
You found a bug. I noticed this some time ago, but did not come around to investigate it further. I fixed it now. It will be corrected in the next release. For now there is nothing you can do apart from copying the song files yourself manually
Fix problem with copying files to export folder on set export (bug report / help request "Songs folder is empty after export")
Hi, please see Discussion - Help - OpenSong Asks to Save Unedited Songs and Support Request #311 OpenSong asks to save unedited files.
What version of OpenSong, what Operating system? What Menü? To which window does the menu belong? I am not quite sure what version of the code the binaries are built from. If they are built from what they claim to be based on, then there is no PDF capability built into the application. Any PDF option therefor is placed by the operating system or any app you installed in error.

Unfortunately there is no such option I am aware of. The spell checker is not configurable, other than turning it off in the design of the windows. There's not even an option to configure the language. The framework just uses the spell checker provided by the operating system in it's default language (I guess), which is the system language. The next build will come with the spell checker turned off.
This is probably due to the issue described in #274 Presentation display offset with different screen scaling For now, try using consistent scaling across displays, if possible at 100 %. Rearranging relative screen positions may help. There's one more solution here: #491 Secondary Screen on Dual Screen Presentation displays incorrectly
Thank you for the files. I found the bug and fixed it for the next release. This only happens when you use border and shadow together. Also it does not happen when you use left align.

Fix a bug in DrawFontSingleLine where Graphics.CharacterSpacing was altered during drawing. This even caused misaligned text when drawing the presentation (Bux #499)
Thank you for reporting this. I am unable to reproduce this on my machine. Could you please create a set, add one of the sample songs to that set, then export the set and attach both exported files (the set and the song) to your reply. I will then try to reproduce the issue with your setup. Please use Current Set > Export. Do not copy the set file directly from the sets folder. The reason for this is to get a copy of your style from your presentation settings. I tested this on a Windows 8.1 machine....
I now recognize that I did not look closely enough at BookNamesTabDelimited.txt. As I am not used to bibles which include deuterocanonical books, I expected those books to be listed at the end of the list (according to their bnumber) or in-between OT and NT, where they are in many protestant bibles, following Luther which considered them to be not Scripture proper, but still edifying to read, and thus put then in a separate section on their own.
bnames.xml contains lists in various languages with book numbers, book names and short names for use in bible references. Here you can find out the correct numbers for your deuterocanonical books. bnames.xml is located in the folder "OpenSong Settings" below the installation path of OpenSong (where the executable lives). or here are the definitions for "english-common": <!-- APO --> <BOOK bnumber="67" bshort="Jdt">Judith</BOOK> <BOOK bnumber="68" bshort="Wis">Wisdom</BOOK> <BOOK bnumber="69" bshort="Tob">Tobit</BOOK>...
Please see OpenSong Bugs #490 for details. In short, make sure your OpenSong Documents folder contains a folder named Scripture for which you have the rights to read and write to. By default, your OpenSong Documents folder is at shell:personal\OpenSong(copy this and past it into the address bar of your windows explorer). If the Scripture folder exists and you can write to it, then if you have any files in that folder, move them somewhere else and try again. This "uninstalls" the bible by the name...
Hi There is the list of bibles at OpenSong.org Downloads, to which gave a link above already. There you first get referred to Zefania XML, because it is by far the most comprehensive archive of bibles compatible with OpenSong. The ESV is under copyright by Crossway. Unless they grant permission, there is nothing we can do.
