Good job! Thanks!

Thanks Mike.

Since the W10 update isn't there yet and I can't try:

> Added support for dragging and dropping files into the song editor files and audio lists

Does this include dragging and dropping audio files onto song lists (you know, those with the note symbol at the right)?

[Zubersoft]

No, it does not. I'm not sure what action you would want to occur in that situation. Are you trying to drag & drop an audio file on top of a song in the list to add the audio file to that song? Or are you wanting it to create a new blank song and add the audio file to that?

[BRX]

The first one. I'm asking for drag & drop of an audio file on top of a song in the list(s) to add the audio file. Preferably without any more dialogue, just adding it with the appearance of the note icon, sort of as a quick adding feature for advanced users who want/to have to add a lot of files quickly.

That's actually in line to my previous request for a way of simplified adding of audio files a couple of days ago.

For my personal use and wishes this drag & drop in W10 (onto a list item) would be completely sufficient. If you want to pursue my other thoughts for Android/W10 in the other request, please do if you want, but it's not so important to me anymore if you get this drag & drop to work.

Automatic cropping of imported files is now disabled by default

I'm curious why?  The crop detection is already quite conservative.

[Zubersoft]

There is a very rare issue that occurs where invalid crop points are used for files and it can cause content to be cut off. I've only ever seen it once myself and then was unable to reproduce it. I know users have seen it on occasion though, so I'd rather take the approach that users can control if they want cropping or not, but I don't want it on automatically because most users don't know how to clear the cropping once it's set. Most users also don't think to turn that setting off when importing a huge PDF, and the cropping can take a considerable amount of time if there are hundreds of pages.

Anyone else having issues editing or creating new songs after update?

I have two devices (both windows) and after the update neither one is able to edit songs, when you try and edit the song MS locks up.

[Zubersoft]

There is a bug in the Windows 10 version when editing songs using text or chord pro files. I have a fix in place and will be releasing an update through my Fastspring store immediately. The Microsoft Store version won't be updated until Monday or Tuesday as it has to wait for Microsoft's approval. Anyone who needs an immediate fix should send me an email at mike@zubersoft.com, and we can switch you over to the Fastspring store version. I do apologize for any inconvenience this causes anyone.

Thanks a lot for the reset of the timer when midi is received!

[Zubersoft]

The update for Windows 10 is now available. I will post separate release notes, although not much changed between the two.
