Version History

Changes between version 5.0.10 and 5.1.1

New Features

Major

  • Improved help file and moved to HTML help for Vista compatibility
  • Added SongPro import filter
  • Coped with new, longer CCLI numbers
  • Automatically remove smart quotes from filenames during import to allow them to be indexed

Usability

  • Save / open / insert of a song or liturgy shows a dialogue that allows you to quickly locate the QuickPick folders, avoiding beginner users saving files into a location where they won't be picked up by the QuickPick
  • Saving songs or liturgy now defaults to the My Songs or My Liturgy folder
  • Prompt for copyright info before save
  • When importing songs from a source that contains multiple songs, such as a song book, allow the user to specify where to save the imported songs
  • Bible passages can be displayed from any word in the passage (before you had to start at the beginning of an arbitrarily determined line)
  • When importing multiple songs to a folder that is not a QuickPick folder, prompt to add that folder as a QuickPick folder
  • Moving from page to page in bible readings is much faster
  • Added button to toolbar to go back to the beginning of the currently displaying item
  • Check that have permissions to update licence key before asking user to enter it and updated message to show Vista users how to change their licence key
  • Required update to Windows Installer now ships on the Words of Worship CD

Cosmetic

  • Updated user interface in installer, main application and indexer, especially when installing on a machine where the pre-requisites already exist and reporting any errors in the indexer
  • Added new long filename extensions to reduce possibility of conflict with other applications, especially Windows Media Player
  • Don't overwrite existing files during bulk-import, make new, unique filenames by adding numbers to them
  • Improved installer for better compatibility with Vista and better installation experience
  • Updated default output settings for Vista compatibility out of the box

Bug Fixes

Major

  • Only the first page of bible readings would display correctly over background images
  • Pasting a song to the playlist from the clipboard could crash Words of Worship
  • When certain settings or file locations were changed, Words of Worship would try to reinstall. With a download version the installer could not be located, leading to an inability to start Words of Worship through the Start Menu shortcut.
  • A bug in Microsoft's Jet database engine could cause the indexer application to crash on exit when songs have long path names

Unusual

  • Multiple file changes in a QuickPick folder caused the interface to appear to hang (such as copying a large number of files into a QuickPick folder or bulk importing into an existing QuickPick folder)
  • Selecting Revert on an unsaved document caused a crash
  • Windows Explorer / My Computer's New menu created invalid Words of Worship documents
  • At certain sizes blank lines could appear between lines of a song on the operator's preview window
  • In the evaluation version opening a Words of Worship file by double-clicking on it in Windows Explorer caused the file to open in a hidden window (opening a second file would then show it)

Inconvenient

  • Couldn't set style of final line / block when cursor was at end of file when editing Song / Liturgy
  • Sometimes if your mouse was right on the edge of a toolbar button it showed the tooltip from the adjacent button
  • Fixed a unreported bug in RTF import that could cause a problem when importing songs in a certain format
  • Could crash when an invalid filename was passed on command line to be opened at startup

Version 5.0.8 fixed a couple of major bugs worth noting. Upgrade to version 5.1 if you encounter either of these symptoms:

  • Words of Worship could crash when a file was deleted or changed and not updated in the index; recreating the index could work around this problem
  • Saving new Liturgy sometimes reported an empty document when it wasn't
