Track order & Singer/Song deletion In Siglos Pro

[daddybrubeck]

Request 1.

In my Add Singer window, and in the the Song List section at the bottom of that window, I have columns in this order (from left to right) Artist, Title, Disc, & Track. I am not sure if this is the same in all Siglos Pro displays.

After typing in some information into either the Global Filter, Artist, Title or Disc ID lines, all tracks that have that typed in information in them are then displayed in the Song List section I refer to above and in the correct columns.

Those tracks can then be sorted by Artist, Title, or Disc ID by clicking the respective buttons at the top of the respective columns.

As I mention above though there is a 4th column on display, Track.

If you click on the Track button it appears to do exactly the same thing as clicking on the Artist button does, i.e. it will display the Artist Column in alphabetical order from A to Z or from Z to A.

Is it possible when the Track button is clicked to have this column list it's contents in track number order?.

I can think of one or two situations when you might want to see all the track 1's or all the track 7's (or whatever number you are looking for). But more importantly than that is when you have the tracks of only one or two complete discs on display and you are searching for track 9 (for example), they are a bit hard to find by track number as the track listing column appears to be in a totally random order.

This happens quite a lot when a singer writes their request on a slip with just the disc & track number on the slip, eg sf235-7, you then have to find track 7 of that disc, not too bad if there are only 10 to 13 tracks on that disc but it is a lot more difficult when you have a disc dispalying 20 or maybe even 30 tracks on it. It would obviously be a lot easier if the track column list was in some sort of order such 1, 2, 3, 4 or 15, 14, 13, or whatever.

Request 2

I now go on to the Singer - Song list that is located at the top right hand corner of the Add Singer window.

From time to time some of the names in this list have to be deleted, at the moment they can only be deleted one by one, it is a very time consuming task, (took me some thirty minutes yesterday) is there any way that more than one name can at a time could be highlighted?. Then you could just scroll down the list, and by holding the "CTRL" or "SHIFT" keys on the keyboard (as you do in a Word list and many other lists as well), highlight the lines to be deleted then when you have selected them and you are ready you can delete all of the highlighted names with just one click of the delete cross that is displayed there?

Exactly the samt thing needs to be done for the Artist - Song list immediatley below the Singer - Song list I refer to above, however it takes even longer to do maintenance on this list as there are more lines in it.

Sorry for the lenghth of this request posting.

Thanks.

Eddie.

I agree with the comment above.

Can there be a better way to remove old singers/songs rather that one by one.
Thanks

Somehow I have missed the post, I am sorry.

Ad 1:

This is a bug, sorting in this field should work. We will fix it in the next release. I wonder what is used as a sort field instead

Ad 2:

I have added this to the feature list for implementation, thanks.

[daddybrubeck]

Thanks Piotr

Any idea when the next release is due?

[Piotr]

I would say in two weeks.

[daddybrubeck]

I see version 1.2.76 has sorted out the track listing request, thank you for that.

Any update on the multiple Singer & Song histrory deletion request please?

Regards.

Eddie.

also, when deleting a song from someones history, it deletes it from everyones history. lord knows i have done a few i never wish to do again, but if i delete it from my history, it also gets deleted from anyone else who has sang it.

[Piotr]

Version 1.2.77 has two buttons next to Singer History list -- first to delete singer and all his songs, and second to delete just one song.

so close, but it only works for that session. it will not remove a song that was sang before this update. i was thinking of the delete would be better in the song list area. that way we could just highlight thew song and click delete. quick and simple.

[Piotr]

OK, will add this to the list to include in the next build.

thank you for your quick reply Piotr.
