We have decided to add a folder selection option.

We've added a new button "Import OpenSong Folder Structure" to the importer. This will convert a whole OpenSong folder structure and write the songs to the output folder including all subfolders. We've added support for chords as well. The chord import function is not perfect yet, because it doesn't...

You need to transfer those songs from the data base to sng files. I havent't analyzed the database structure of WorshipCenter Pro yet, but I expect that it can be done with an import utility.

We don't have that yet, but I think we'll be able to do that.

The Statistics Viewer is now ready for download:

http://www.songbeamer.com/bin/SBStatist ... _Setup.exe

This button will create a statistics file for your song usage on your hard disc. When you present a song while this button is "down", it will write the title, filename, date of last usage and the usage count to the file SongStatistics.dat At the moment you can only open this file with a text editor....

Can you export the bible from Theophilos into a text file or another non proprietary format? If that is the case we can probably create an import function.

Sure, we can do that.

Here's the latest version of the SongReport plugin:

I'll put it on the official homepage soon.

You probably don't need the "PowerPraise Importer", because that is an Importer for the German presentation software "PowerPraise".

The license data you receive is the same for all users. If you buy a 5 user license, it is usually preferable to request a key with the name of the church (you can select that during the check out process). This avoids the problem of having the name of the "wrong person" in the license details. Send...

We have changed the display according to the standard. Please download the latest version from our website.

This has been added to SongBeamer 3.0. You can find the download on our website.

If you right click an item on the schedule, you can select "Edit Caption..." from the popup menu. We need to open the multimedia files with DirectShow before we know how long they're going to be. That could take a few seconds for each item. We might be able to read the length of a video directly fro...

Accepted. Like that you really won't miss any of your labels

That is exactly what the "Change key mapping for arrow keys" option is supposed to do.

That is planned.

This seems to be language specific. I'll change it so that it will use the "," for Germany and everybody else will get the ':'.

I guess, we should skip the space before and after the "-" as well.

We're thinking about that. It is very likely that we'll do it.

Will be done.

Just in case you haven't discovered it yet: You can drag&drop pictures from Windows Explorer into the slide show dialog.

We can do that, but it will be optional. The reason is that the Windows Listbox control is not very optimized for large amounts of data. Some of our users have several thousands of songs.

You can find this option in the options dialog (Tools->Options->Other->Find Songs) in the next update.

Yes, this can be done. I have updated the importer, you can download it again.

The custom verse order will be available in SongBeamer 3.0. You can downloaded Release Candidate 2 here:
SongBeamer V3 Beta

(The update to SongBeamer 3.x will be free if you buy SongBeamer 2.x now).

A lot of the songs do have chords on them, although we don't use the chords and I usually remove them from a song if it is the first time we sing it. That makes things easy, because we'll just skip the chords then. Here's the download link for the importer. http://www.songbeamer.com/bin/SongImporte...

Just a quick question: Do your OpenSong songs have chords on them? If you're not using chords, then you can have it immediately, because that part is already done.

The bibles are stored as *.bib files. So if you do a global search for *.bib on your harddisk, it should show up. Be sure to select "Search hidden files and folders" in the search dialog, because the Windows Application Data folder is hidden by default. The next version of SongBeamer will have an ea...

Yes, we're actively developing and supporting SongBeamer.

You can import the bibles from OpenSong. I don't have an importer for the songs yet, but I'm quite sure that we can create one.

Some codecs are restricted to a certain application and refuse to work with SongBeamer and other applications because of that. In that case you need to find a DirectShow filter that works with SongBeamer like the free AC3Filter from http://ac3filter.net

Should be easy. Well, I've just modified our Access Importer so that it uses an easyworship database. You can download it here: http://www.songbeamer.com/bin/EasyworshipImport.exe Open the Easyworship database in the importer. You can probably find it in the following folder: C:\Program Files\Softou...

Yes, SongBeamer supports Live-Video. Click Insert->Live-Video (or click on the live video icon in the toolbar). Then select your video device and click the play button. The small arrow next to the input device will start the preview. The other play button will start the presentation. Some capture ca...

Ok, now I got the bug. The filename in the statusbar doesn't update after the import. We will fix that.

If you export a schedule into a zip file, that schedule will be included in the zip file as 'schedule.col'. When you import the schedule on another PC, then it will open that schedule. If you want to keep the imported schedule then you should save it. But I think we'll add an option that SongBeamer ...

The function you're probably looking for is File->Export Schedule (or Import Schedule). This will pack all songs in the schedule including the backgrounds images and color values into a zip file. If you want to copy all settings including those in the options dialog, then you can copy the config fil...
