collection problem

Post by Jimnoelak »

So a couple years ago I was making a new set list, and the "collection" option came up. I didn't know what a "collection" was, so I decided to just try it and see what happened. Eventually I decided that collections weren't very useful for me, so I decided to remove it.

However, ever since then, multiple copies of the collection have been added back in. I can remove the copies manually, but new copies keep getting added in. It's a bit of a pain having to keep deleting these copies. Has anyone else encountered this problem? Any way to fix it?

What version of iGIgBook are you using? Can you post a screen shot that illustrates what you mean by "multiple copies"?

Thanks for responding. It's version 10.9.7

Screen shot is attached. The ones called "Colbert Wedding" are copies of the original collection, which have been duplicated numerous times.

What happens when you delete them using the red minus sign at the left of the item?

They delete just fine, but more copies show up later. This happens even if I delete all copies currently present.

I think a new copy shows up each time I start the app.

Very interesting...We aren't seeing this behavior. Can you email us a copy of your sets.plist file?

Select the heart icon at the top of the Book List View or My Scores View. If your device isn't set up for email, select the first item in the Book List View titled "Tap Here For Help"

It looks like you created a set named “Colbert wedding~alpha” because you have a file named Set_Colbert wedding~alpha.plist in your iGigBook 10 folder. You cannot have the “~” character as part of a set list name. Rename “Set_Colbert wedding~alpha” removing the “~” and that should correct your issue.
