Another round of updates with some minor changes to address some recent user feature requests, as well as my own dissatisfaction with the current pinch zoom responsiveness. Annotations has been pushed back until the next update, as I'm still hard at work on them.

Here are the changes:

MobileSheets v2.9
- Added ability to load random song by selecting the '?' character on the library screen
- Zooming is now disabled while the performance mode is active.
- Zooming on the edges of the screen is now ignored
- The zoom value is now shown in the center of the screen while pinch zooming
- Improved the responsiveness and accuracy of the pinch zooming
- Fixed various crash reports.
- The number of items displayed on the library screen is now shown at the top.

MobileSheets Companion v1.2.7
- Added a ton of error handling/checks during batch import. It should no longer cause crashes, and errors will now be displayed.

Enjoy!

Hello everyone,

I have another series of updates to fix some recent bugs, and some other outstanding ones. Look at the changes below.

MobileSheets v2.8

- Fixed error shown while editing image based songs.
- Fixed crash related to empty selection on collection editor dialog.
- Fixed source type filtering.
- Fixed crashes related to PDFs with large images stored in them.
- Maximum Memory usage for the PDF renderer is now configurable. The default is 64 MB. Larger values will render and load faster, but may make the program unstable with certain PDFs and/or tablets.
- Added option to default to the number keyboard for song searching. This will have no affect on some tablets.
- Only 16 images are buffered now instead of 20 to help with memory usage and processing.
- Added ability to bypass license check for Google purchases. If you encounter a licensing error, use the email feature to send me your tablet info and order #.
- Fixed crash related to page slider/preview window.

MobileSheetsCompanion v1.2.6

- Fixed bug with end page slider not properly changing sometimes.
- Fixed crash related to removing PDF files in editor.
- Fixed duplicate entries in custom dropdown.
- Fixed incorrect counting shown while batch importing.
- Fixed error preventing defaults from being saved, and new versions from being detected.

I hope this update fixes the last remaining big issues so I can focus completely on annotations. As noted in that last bullet of the companion app, you may not get a notification to automatically update. You will have to go to "Check For Updates" under the help menu inside the application, or download the latest off the website. Enjoy!

Hey everyone,

A lot of bug fixes and minor enhancements have been added for this update. This update has slowed down the annotations development a little, but I will be getting right back to it now. I am also getting close to being done with the manual updates to explain a lot of the new features. Here is what has been changed/added:

MobileSheets v2.7
- Changed current link pedal mode to two pedal modes (scroll through previous links, scroll through next links) and (link start or previous page/ link end or next page).
- Added option in settings for large alphabet letters on the library screen.
- Added ability to access song notes from overlay.
- Added option to avoid duplicate songs during batch import.
- Changed start page/end page to be driven only by the popup dialog (no more sliders). Much better for large PDF documents.
- PDF renderer bug fixes.
- Custom text field now supports auto-completion.
- Tweaked networking code to improve connection success.
- Fixed crash from selecting certain default keys.
- Artist now has All Albums option.
- Added additional genres (motown, soul, rockabilly).
- Fixed previous button when viewing album under artist.
- Added arrows on song editor dialog to go back one page, forward one page
- Fixed various crash reports found through Google error reporting (thanks everyone)

MobileSheets Companion v1.2.5
- Songs added through batch import now show up correctly on main screen
- Added avoid duplicates checkbox to batch import dialog
- Difficulty is now correctly selected after creating song, then editing it
- Added numeric inputs for the page fields and the zoom. This allows for quick manual entry (hit enter to accept numeric entry immediately)
- Added buttons on Song Editor dialog to go back one page, forward one page
- Custom text now has auto-complete
- Tweaked networking code to improve connection success
- Fixed various crashes
- Fixed duplicate song entry on Collection screen
- Fixed opening of files with non-ascii characters
- Added new dialog under file menu to print song lists. This will generate a list of your songs from either your entire library or a setlist. You can configure the output format (what is printed for each song, i.e. title), and sorting, and then easily copy the list to the clipboard if needed.

I hope the update works well for everyone!

Hello everyone,

It took me longer than expected (it always done), but I've put out v2.5 which contains the following bug fixes and enhancements:

- Library backup error due to songs pointing to non-existent files has been fixed.
- Added previous/next track buttons to media player, and removed touch edge to switch track feature.
- Fixed various bugs related to the bluetooth previous link/next link pedal mode.
- Vertical scrolling is now supported for both portrait and landscape if an image is zoomed in.
- Auto-scrolling works correctly again.
- Added performance mode in settings to disable overlay entirely.
- Selected dropdown filters are now colored differently to make choices obvious
- Layouts have been fixed for tablets running 2.3 and lower. Text labels should be better aligned now. Also fixed metronome layout.
- Fixed bug where setlist page number is initially messed up when switching between setlists.
- Reduced memory usage for tablets running 2.3 and lower to hopefully eliminate crashes when loading large documents. Loading may be slower as a result.
- Pinch mode was backwards, so it was been flipped.
- Files are now properly sorted during a batch import
- The status bar now automatically re-dims after tapping the media player at the bottom
- Removing songs from an active setlist now works correctly
- Fixed various crash reports found through Google error reporting (thanks everyone).
- Status bar automatically redims after closing media player at bottom by tapping
- Removing songs from the active setlist should work correctly now

There might be a few other fixes that people asked for that I threw in too.

As for the companion app, there is only one significant change I made:
The installer is now packaged as a .zip on the website. It comes with setup.exe and MobileSheetsCompanion.msi. Please run the setup.exe, especially if you are having .NET problems. I'm trying to determine if this will solve the issues people have been having. The automatic updating will launch setup.exe by default now.

I hope you all have a great weekend.

This thread will be used to give all the MobileSheets users an idea of where I'm at with releasing updates. I will try to keep it updated with what I've completed, and what is left to do for each update.

v3.5
75%
Annotations - Support for adding text, highlighting, drawing, and music symbols.

Hello everyone,

I finally got the forums set up so that users can share information with each other. I also now have a mechanism to share information so that everyone can see it at once. It's ultimately up to the users how useful these forums become, so I hope everyone can help make this a great center for information and discussion. Over time, I will continually post small guides on how to best use features, and tips and tricks that people may not be aware of. Hopefully these will be of use to both new and experienced users.

Mike
