Problem with themes for songs

openlp.org Problems

I'm having some issues with trying to apply specific themes to specific songs. When I go into the song edit menu, it lists the current them as "no theme". When I click on the drop down menu there are no other options. When I go into "add a theme" it brings up the wizard, however the options it's showing is for the last custom theme I created. It won't let me change the name of the theme, so any changes I make are done to that theme instead of creating a new one. On top of all this, no matter what I do, it still lists "no theme" for the song and doesn't add any other themes to the drop down list. The end result is that no matter what I do I can't seem to pick or create a theme for a specific song.

Hi smurray,

I have a few questions for you:

When did this start?
Did you remove any themes?
Did you inadvertently delete the themes directory?
Which version of windows are you running?

As far as I know it's always happened. I've never attempted to assign themes to specific songs before. I've removed and added a few themes, but never got any errors or anything while doing so. And I've never deleted the themes directory, accidently or otherwise. I'm running Windows Vista Ultimate. The themes I create are all showing up in the theme manager, and I can use all of them by either choosing the global level or OOS option, I just can't seem to assign any to a song.

I did notice that if I use the create song wizard instead of the classic mode, it actually does let me choose a theme from the drop down menu. Unfortunately no matter which I choose, it doesn't seem to save the option because when I go back into the son edit it still shows "no theme".
