I really love many of the changes to OpenLP since v2.4.6 (the last version I used). However, here is a list of the bugs that I’ve noticed since downloading v3.0.1. I’ve commented on a couple discussions already, so I’ll include the links to those discussions here.
1. The biggest issue is the UI appearing too large and overcrowding the screen on the three Windows laptops that I've tried running 3.0.1 on. There’s more info as well as my comment with a faulty solution here: https://forums.openlp.org/discussion/5942.
2. The remote main view shows either a black screen instead of text/images when I’m plugged into a second screen or my desktop when I’m only using one screen (even when “Show Presentation” is selected). More info and my comment here: https://forums.openlp.org/discussion/5768.
3. When using a video as the background for a theme, one of two things happen. On one of my laptops, the output doesn’t show the video and instead shows a black screen. Even when the background colour in the theme is set to white, I still see a black background instead of the video. I am connected to a second display when this occurs. On the other laptop, the background video works but it does not loop – it just shows a black background after the video has played through once. I can click the play button and it will play again, but I assume it should be automatically looping.
4. The footer text used to automatically be aligned to the bottom of the screen, however now it seems to be aligned to the top of the footer box. Resizing the footer box is not a solution, because for some songs the footer is 2 lines (when it’s a public domain song or if we forgot to enter the copyright statement), most of the time it’s 3 lines and sometimes it’s 4 or 5 (when there’s different author types and/or when the copyright statement wraps onto a second line). It would be great if it could automatically be aligned to the bottom again.
5. In 3.0.1, there’s no way to turn off the automatic copyright symbol in the footer box. At my church we have manually entered the copyright symbol for each song when we entered each song’s copyright statement, so we now have the issue of the symbol displaying twice. We’d prefer to not have to manually remove the symbol from each song, so can the option to hide the automated copyright symbol please be re-added? (I’ve also posted this comment at https://forums.openlp.org/discussion/5926.)
6. After editing themes, their thumbnail garbles. This happens when images and videos are set as the theme background. See https://forums.openlp.org/discussion/5948.
On top of all of this, I’ve also got a suggestion about adding separate folders to the songs library view. My explanation is here https://forums.openlp.org/discussion/5941 and I’d love it to be included in a future release.
Thanks!
