Mike, I browsed the old forum threads and I noticed you previously had a public to do list.

But you retired it when you published MSP.

I'd be interested in your current list of upcoming features (if you're willing to post it) before churning out suggestions and request you already are planning.

Well, not really.  I overstated a little.  It's my first post, after all.

My problem is simple, as is hopefully the solution.  I do a lot of arranging for a band.  When I print PDFs and import them into MobileSheets Pro, the sun come out and all is well.  Until I update my charts after a rehearsal or gig (and this happens a lot...I'm very active arranging).  Of course the file names are the same, but the date modified is different...just a new version...

When I import the charts, I always end up with duplicate entries in my songs list.  Perhaps I'm not doing it right.  This happens with the Companion, importing from my tablet via Dropbox, etc.

Here's my ideal process.  Tell me if it's flawed:

1. I print PDFs of my new arrangment of "Dark Eyes"
2. I upload parts to my tablet
3. The sun shines, children laugh, etc.
4. I modify my scores and produce new PDFs with the SAME FILE NAMES as the old ones
5. I import new files into MSP with "Replace All", figuring this will in fact replace the tunes
6. Weep upon opening my app and seeing multiple versions listed of Dark Eyes

I want to fill in the information like composer, key, etc., of Dark Eyes and have confidence in the future that this data will be preserved and that I'll only have one entry for Dark Eyes, the newest PDF.

What am I doing wrong?

Thank you for any help you may lend.

So I thought things were going along pretty well with getting everything uploaded from Dropbox and putting my files in "collections", then noticed that when I clicked on the import from Dropbox - it displayed only a partial list of what is in Dropbox.   Why is that?  I spent a great deal of time getting my folders in Dropbox all arranged in "collections" so it would be easier when uploading to my collections in MS, but now MS doesn't see what is in those dropbox folders.  In some cases it shows NO files at all!  

So, since it wasn't recognizing my dropbox files, I then tried (from the Companion) to select files from my computer - seemed to work but now when I click to open a file in MS, it is a black screen with very small print that says File/storage/extSdCard/Android/data/com.zubersoft.mobilsheetspro/files/ "name of file"/ does not exist

I cannot get ONE FILE to open!  What have I done?

When I first installed MS, I chose the "manage files myself" option. (probably shouldn't have, because I have no idea what I'm doing) but I proceeded to merrily upload files and view them, thinking this is just great --  until all my files became un-viewable.   I tried switching to the "let MS manage my files" option, no change.

Other things I've tried:
I don't remember specifying to put my uploaded files on the external SD card, and I didn't want them on it, so I deleted them, thinking that was what the problem was, but then wondered if MS put the files on the SD card, without my knowledge.  Either way,   No change, still the same black screen/file does not exist message

Also, I tried "clearing" all files from MS, and it took a very long time for it to delete the files, but then..... the files were all still there!   Weird.    But still  won't open 

I'm afraid I've really messed it up, so now what?

Should I uninstall and reinstall?  Help!

I've been using an Apple Magic Trackpad (original version) as a poor man's Bluetooth foot pedal on my Nexus 10.  However, I've had some difficulty with it and now can't get it to work.

When I first tried to set it up with MSP, clicking either of the trackpad's buttons only caused the interface to show and hide while viewing music - the click was registering in the center of the screen.  This was happening no matter which options were enabled in the settings (Enable USB Mouse Processing, Swap Mouse Click Actions, Treat Mouse Click as Pedal Press).  Sometime later, through no apparent doing of my own, it started working, although clicking only caused it to scroll down, not up.  Since then I've wiped and reset the tablet and now I'm back to square one.

Full disclosure: went from Android 5.1.1 stock to 6.0.1 rooted, but as far as the trackpad goes nothing seems different than it was on 5.1.1.

I searched the forums and couldn't find evidence of anyone else using the Magic Trackpad in this way. Any ideas?

Offline-Mode (No Sync-Connection)

1. [Extract Audio]-button has fixed screen position (regard Bild1).
   
2. [Extract Audio] doesn't work. Causes Error "Error creating audio file"
   
3. [Extract] and [Extract All] extracts sheets without annotations!
   

1. Missing [Extract] and [Extract with Annotations]
   Extracting to PDF on the tablet using the share-function takes too much time!
   
2. Missing Annotations-information in database
   What sheet has annotation, what kind of annotation?
   
3. It seems as if Sort by "Audio Files" doesn't work as expected (regard Bild2)

New bug with the latest update. With settings on "fit to screen" and "fit width" (haven't tried any other configurations),every third page, starting with the 2nd page) is slightly narrower than the screen. In the case of a 4 page song that I'm trying to practice at the moment, I've got it set to restart the song after the last page...so page 2 is narrow the first time, 1 and 4 are narrow the second time through, 3 is narrow the third time, and then back to 2 the next time through.
It's mostly annoying me because the annotations ive made don't compress with the rest of the page. Anybody else seeing this behavior? It's on every song in my library.

Annotations added to the top of the page are embedded halfway down the page when Written to File, please would someone advise what I am doing wrong.  thanks.

The last song in a setlist is not aligned at the top, means a small part of the bottom of second last song is visible above the top of the last song. The bottom part of the last song is not visible, and I can't even scroll to see it. Portrait mode. Setting: vertical scrolling.
Thanks.
