Song Manager
Song Manager is a utility for preparing Songview libraries with collections of songs. Up to three Songview libraries can be loaded simultaneously and songs copied and moved between the libraries or deleted. It is useful for compiling new song libraries; songs cannot be created or edited - use the Songview Edit functions for this purpose. The Manager window is opened from the Tools menu. It has three windows containing song lists that can be cut, copied and pasted between the windows; the songs can be listed by alphabetical title order or by number order within the song library. Each window corresponds to a library and can be saved as required.
Songs are copied by selecting with the mouse, multiple selections are supported, and dragging with the left mouse button to the destination library window. Dragging them to the bin icon will delete the songs; dragging with the right mouse button moves the songs between windows. Double clicking with the right mouse button opens a context menu to allow copy, paste, delete and cut as well as selecting all songs in a list.
When songs are ordered by number single songs can also be repositioned within a library.
Hovering the mouse over a song title will display the first slide of the song.
The buttons have the following functions.
By title | Songs will be listed alphabetically by title. |
By number | Songs will be listed in number order as stored in the song library. |
Open | Opens Songview library in window; this will also clear the undo buffer.|
Save | Save library using same filename, unnamed library files prompt for a filename. |
Save As | Save library with new filename |
Clear | Clear list box - library is closed but not deleted; the undo buffer is also cleared. |
Close | Closes the Song Manager window |
Save All | Saves all the libraries using the current filenames, unnamed libraries prompt for a filename. |
Undo | Reverses the last operation(s). |
Clear Bin | Empties the bin containing all deleted songs; the undo buffer is also cleared. |
View/Hide Bin | Shows and hides the content of the waste bin. When the bin is visible songs can be transferred from here to the other windows in the usual way. |
