"Create New Song" dialogue freezes

General discussion about Gig Performer
1

I use GP version 4.0.54 and tried to create a new Song in a setlist. The Song Properties dialogue is shown up with all input fields visible but disabled. I can not enter or edit any of the fields/gui-controls. Even clicking the x in title bar does not close this dialogue.

grafik

The only way to leave/close this dialogue is a “close all windows” in the context menu of GP item in taskbar. I experienced this in version 4.0.52 already and this is why I updated to 4.0.54. I also started with a new empty gig file containing the Default rackspace only, added just one Setlist (->Add New Setlist) and then tried to create this new Song (-> Create New Song) but still song Properties are unusable/disabled

So currently for me it is not possible to use setlists.

Am I missing something? Has anyone encountered simmilar issues? Any tips, ideas, solutions?

Do you have GP (or other GP windows) open in full screen? I’m suspecting there’s another dialog underneath?

3

No, GP window state is “normal” and there is no other window open, neither any GP window nor any other applications (modal or non modal) window.

4

When dialogue freezes and I press Alt+Tab then I see only the “GP main window” and this “Song Properties” dialogue in the list of open windows.

I also restarted Windows 10.

On Mac I cannot confirm.

How do you reproduce that? Do you start GP, then switch immediately to the setlist mode, select to create a new song or …?

7

I start GP, close the “Tepmplates” dialogue without chosing any template.

Then I goto “Setlists”

From Setlist menu “…” I select item “Add New Setlist” which then is the first Setlist in this “Untitled” gig.
I name it e.g. “Set1” and press OK.

From Setlist menu “…” I select item “Create New Song” which open the freezed “Song Properties” dialogue.

It is 100% reproducible

Thanks @Markus . Just followed your steps to the letter, but cannot reproduce.
Would it be possible for you to record a small video and post it here? Maybe we’re missing something.

give me 5 minutes

Unfortunatly my video is too big (108MB). I wasn’t aware of this 20MB restriction. I’ll try another resolution.

12

While @Markus is trying to get the video to us - can anyone else reproduce this using his steps above?

13

I just tried. Cannot reproduce on Mac

I was doing exactly the same thing and cannot reproduce.

I see that you’ve used GP for a while. Did this just start happening?
Have you installed some “window managers” or something similar?

I also cannot reproduce with GP 4.0.54 on Win 10.

I checked out this setlists also in GP3 a while ago (~1 year?!?) and it worked but I did not test that much in GP3. Now in GP4 I wanted to go deeper into this feature and evaluate if I really can use it for my use cases. So I tried it in GP4 for the 1st time today.

I do not use any window managers. I use a laptop with internal and one external display.

Same issue when I use internal display only

19

What happens if you do not create a new setlist first, but create a song first?

Same issue
