Hi all,

I have created a collection of 'songs' (txt files to read content between songs to be specific).  I have been asked if I can collect them all together and print them (or create a document).

Is there a way to do this rather than one at a time - I have 95 'songs/file' to export.

thanks

Dave

Unless I'm missing something, the simplest thing would be to go to the Collections tab, tap the collection to view the list of songs, long press a song to select it, tap the select all icon at the bottom right, then tap either Share->Export files and select the option to combine into one PDF, or tap the three dots at the top right and select "Print" (the export option would be my preference and suggestion). If you did not place all 95 songs in a collection already, then you have to find some way to select all 95 songs at once or go through the list and select them.

Thanks Mike,

I went through the steps and the export started.  When it seemed to finish, MobileSheets exited and file was not created.  I tried just a few files and it worked - maybe there’s a limit?

There should not be a limit, but there may be a song in the list that is triggering an error of some kind. If you want to use Share->Export as .msf and share the .msf file with mike@zubersoft.com, I can test this and see if I can reproduce the crash or error. If so, I should be able to provide more information.

It looks like the app was crashing due to the high amount of memory consumption, as Apple's framework does not always release memory in a timely manner. I've had to add code to make it forcefully released unused memory during the export so that it doesn't consume too much memory and crash. This is fixed for the next update. This problem only occurs when exporting a large number of text or ChordPro files that have to all be converted to PDF.

Thanks,
Mike

Brilliant!  Thanks for sorting, looking forward to the new download.
