Every time when I open this file, Song is duplicating

Hi,

i have weird file (in attachment). Every time when I open this file, Song is duplicating in database. Why? I have some songs which do it.

There's a setting for importing songs from the service, and I'm guessing that somehow OpenLP is unable to determine if that song already exists in your database. Go into the settings and de-select that setting, and that should at least get around this problem for now.

Yeah, but then all songs aren't added.

I'm looking at why. That was just a suggestion for getting around the problem right now.

Hi, I have line 3.x and this is still the same problem 🙁

I have seen this in an old version of OpenLP. My first attempt to solve it was TOOLS > Songs > Re-index Songs. Then run the find duplicates.

You may need to delete the song from database. Then load the service with "Import missing songs" set to load the song back into the database.

This would happen when we were trying to run OpenLP installed on different systems. Carrying a service from one to another should have been fine but, our songs would get out-of-wack. We went to using a portable version of OpenLP on a USB drive with its associated data files.
