Hi again - some details now that I'm not in the middle of a gig ...
wednesday night I had a gig using the 2.3.6.9 version - everything works fine. End show i check for updates and I install 2.3.7.1
Thursday (yesterday) I sang 1 song as I use to do open then show - everything works fine. Then I put on the next song, and the program just shuts down mid-song. (embarrasing like hell). I had this problem once before - i'll descibe later - so first thing I do is open the program again, and close it again, promting check for updates, and it sayd that I was running 2.3.6.9 (and not 2.3.7.1 that I installed the day before) I then installed it again, and luckily it went smooth for the rest of the evening, except for one "program not responding" shutdown between songs - but that happens once in a while, and is easy fixed.
My thoughts one the confusion on updates is, that if SKP has a crash it restores it self to the previous settings of last proper close down like it always does, which was wedensday night, but that is just my guess.
The "total breakdown" happened 7. oktober - I don't know which update I was running, but it was maximum 2 month old at the time. I was singing the first song - everything was fine, and in the second song I had a crash (shut down - program just ended) again in the middle of a song. I suspected it to be the song file, so I tried again, and it worked fine. two songs later it happend again! And Im standing there with a full bar of singers!!! I had to do a full download on shitty bar-internet, and when I was done and started up againg - the problem seemed to be solved, however that was the update that fucked up all the non-roman letters, so half of my danish songs didn't couldn't be found in remote and couldn't be played / recognized by SKP!!! So again I had to interrupt the whole show to delete the whole song database and reimport them again to recognize the danish letters. All in all it took 20 minutes to fix the problem, and luckily it was my self hosting that night, because my employees wouldn't have had a clue on how to fix it.
So - I've been using SKP for 12 years now, and I absolutely love the program, but you got to make sure it dosn't in the middle of a song again and again - because then Karafun it the only other option for me - and I would really hate that.
I dont know if I had the log turned on - but I can check later
2.3.7.1
