Re: singers database

The answer to your last question, always on top is: Tools Menu/Show Display Preview Button then un tick the always on top box and press apply.

Regards your singers database I'm a bit confused.
When you say "I removed all my super cd converted files and now my singers database is only partially displayed" how did you remove them ?
If you deleted them using explorer then you would need to rebuild the database for Hoster to know they are removed.
I don't understand why you need to append a singers name to the artist name when using the singers search feature.
There is a search field in the search dialog for the singers name as shown in attachment. Selecting the small folder icon there displays whoevers name is displayed in that search field.
To put a song in a singers database you press the S+ button instead of the add button, that creates that singers database.
Any edits to the singers name can be done by selecting the main singers button then choose singers button in that dialog, to edit use rename.
There is a Refresh button in that dialog that should repair errors.

Are you searching for your singers names in the ordinary search field so that is why you append a singes name to the song.?

The only safe way to edit the names in these fields is via the Hosters own Tools/edit songs dialog.
If you edit outside of Hoster then you will lose most of the edited info when you rebuild the database.


The actual singers & songs .mdb's databases are in the main Hoster data folder but I would not try editing them that way or you could cause other problems.
