Features in v1 which are not in v2 or have changed
This page lists those features in v1 which are not in v2, or where functionality has changed/moved.
It doesn't list new features in v2, these can be found at Version 2 Features. This page should only include features that v1 users will already be familiar with and so may be looking for in the new version.
Compatibility
- .OOS files - v1 OOS files cannot be used in v2.
- Songs, Bible and Theme data - v1 files cannot be used directly, but options to import these files are available.
Main UI
- Media Manager - Tabs are now vertical rather than horizontal
- Video and Audio Tabs - Now replaced by a single Media tab
- Close slide buttons - The close slide button on the preview and live controllers have been considered redundant and have been removed. Close to Theme has been replaced by Hide to Theme.
- Hide buttons - The separate hide/close/show desktop buttons are now a single combo button, from which the action can be chosen.
- Order of Service - Renamed to Service Manager. Buttons have been moved around so on top and bottom of the service items.
- Service list, author name - Author name no longer appears in the service manager
Output
- Bible verse numbers - These are now displayed as superscript.
Themes
