1.1.8 Another Chordpro weirdy
#6
I can confirm DTownSMR is on to something and now we're getting somewhere.

I opened one of the problem files in a text editor and the start looked like this:

{title:Caspar Babypants - 9.99}
{artist:Caspar Babypants}
{key: D}
{preferred_key: D}

I deleted the first two lines (title and artist) and saved the file as test.cho.  This I put in my Dropbox and then imported it into my Chordpro Collection.

Guess what?  The title of the chart now appears as {preferred_key: D}.

So, MSP obviously parses the text within the file.  

The process involves a menu to either to use the filename as the title (which is what I asked it to do) or guess a title from the filename.  It's actually doing neither of these actions (I tried both, with exactly the same result) but taking the chart name from information embedded in the file itself.  The only thing I find a little odd is that it didn't show the filename as {key: D}, which would seem more logical.

To me - and unless someone can prove otherwise - this is definitely a bug.  Even if it isn't, then I would like some means whereby I can provide my own filenames and not totally useless ones (for my use) dreamed up by the software.
