Strange content in "Page Order": 1--1
#1
I noticed that some pieces – consisting of one single page pdf sheet - have a strange content on the page order: it is 1--1, i.e. there are two "-" signs. Definitely I didn't enter this manually. I don't see any pattern how and when this may have occurred. Normally I do import these pdf sheets in the Windows version of Mobile Sheets by using the “open with” in the explorer. The sheets are then imported into Mobile Sheets and I complete the attributes I need.

In the Windows Mobile Sheets (3.9.7 and before) this never causes a problem to show the pieces. The pages load without any hassle. But when I transfer my whole library via “backup” and “restore” to my Android tablet these pieces don’t show up. There is no error message, but the sheet is never displayed and I do see Mobile Sheet is “working” on it without finding an end (what is not ideal when on stage...).

I did take a long time to find the source of this “pdf doesn’t show” problem, as the reimport of the very same pdf file into the Android version works perfect (which was my only, lenghty solution when on stage). With the new import the page order is correctly 1-1 and it works.

As written before the reason for the "1--1" in page order is unknown to me. It would be good, if Mobile Sheets would check before saving the page order if this is reasonable. Alternatively a check and correction of the page order before showing pieces might help.

If you can find the steps necessary to recreate that, please let me know. I've never seen the page order specified with two dashes before. Did you import a csv file by chance that might have had that? I can add some additional error checking to replace "--" with just "-" to avoid that problem.
