File History Display Bug

2010-04-15 06:39 pm

I have noticed a strange behavior of the File History dialog in Noteworthy Composer V2.1

When you save a file, the "Song Title" field does not get updated until you re-start Noteworthy. Let's say that you open an existing song and save it as a new file (to start a new song). The file appears on the File History list. If you then change the File Information to change the title of the song, and re-save it, the old original title still shows on the File History until Noteworthy is re-started. At that time, all of the titles are updated to be correct. It would seem that the "Song Title" field should also be updated at the point the file is saved so that the display is correct.

Seems like a little bug...

When I test this, the "Song Title" field is updated as soon as the file is closed. While this may be annoying to some, "bug" seems a harsh description.

The registry is not updated until you close all instances of NWC, but that is a different annoyance. IMO, the registry should be updated prior to the launch of any User Tool.
