That's odd, the same .olp file should work from multiple places ... the only other `external' requirement outside the database file are additional background images; if you move over just the .olp file you can have references to images that don't ex…
If it doesn't make it out in time, here's a solution for tomorrow (or today, depending on your timezone). Put almost-blank lines that only have a space character in them ( ' ' ). Because it isn't strictly a newline, it will keep these blank lines …
The command-line tool is sqlite (sqlite.exe on Windows). I wasn't meaning to make a reference to Linux, you can use the command line tool from the Windows command prompt too. You can download sqlite.exe for win32 from the SQLite download page, und…
The database is sqlite, a database optimized for single-file DBs (sqlite.org). Are you familiar with databases? (queries, inserts, etc?) There are several available management interfaces for sqlite, though I stick to the command-line one myself, s…
How do you suppose would be a good way to allow users to configure this easily? For instance, a site-wide "max. font size" setting in points, or per-slide font settings?
My personal request here would be that the text still auto-enlarges…

To answer your last question, the database importer is only set up up to import an OpenLP 0.99x database (the .olp binary database itself--it does not handle text dumps). Creating a general purpose import utility that could handle .csv as w…

The above issue with the splash screen appearing to hang is not caused by a bug in the ImporterApp, but I believe rather a problem in OpenLP. See splash screen slow-down.

Not sure if everyone saw this, but there is now an Importer App availiable for converting pre-beta2 files to the new format, as well as merging databases together. Get it at the SF project downloads page, under `tools'.

Just for the record for this thread, beta1 used the same DB schema as .994, and is not compatible with >=beta2. Please use the Importer tool, linked to on the downloads page.

Looking into it. The converter was originally tested on both my church's .994 database and on the stock .994 database, but as I haven't had the opportunity to test it against many more database, bugs may exist.
If you want an *open* standard format, I would suggest OSIS [1]. That way we could link in to Crosswire's large module database of public-domain (and many-lingual!) bibles [2].
After all, this is an open-source project, and it's great to bring foc…
