Hoster 4.03 Singer list and multiple sessions

[Dmarti29]

I thank everyone at MTU for getting most of the issues quickly resolved with the new release. I do have a couple issues though.

1. Singer List. Its a great tool, but I have some singers with over 100 songs that they sing. Each time I open their list it seems to take an eternity to get the list up and then the same amount of time to close it. Seems to have to resort and rebuild the list each time. So, whenever I look up a singer with only 5 songs, the same long build time seems to be needed.

2. Before 4.03, I was able to run multiple sessions of Hoster. Up to 5 actually. I would have one running the show, one with just my playlist loaded for my songs and one for my singing partner. It worked great and I could quickly change from one to the other while someone was singing. The tv display would remain with the song playing and my desktop on my Acer 3000 Aspire, with plenty of memory and disk space and process speed, would allow me to cue up the next song from my list.

Not with 4.03, when I shift the laptop to the other Hoster session, the tv changes as well.

Any Ideas?

Lastly, and I am going to place this request on the enhancement list, could anyone out there use a separate field that could be assigned to the singer for the current show that numbers them so you can keep a proper rotation and see that they are all listed in numerical order. I used to put the number in front of the singers name in prior versions but now with the singers database, that won't work. A simple 2 digit field added next to the singer would allow us to keep a good, clear, and unquestionalble rotation.

thanks for reading this and look forward to any replies...
