Found out the problem, and it’s a huge one I suppose. The tools I’m relying on to create the PDF thumbnail work as a trial only, so at best it would stop working in 30 days. But to work, it needs write access to the registry to install the trial license, so worst case scenario is what is likely happening to you, which is it can’t install the trial license to registry and so it fails.

 

For the time being if you can’t see the PDF preview, try running the program in administrator mode so it can write the trial license to registry, while I find a different way to create the PDF thumbnail.

 

Poop.

That worked for now.

Bam. Should be fixed now. Dropped the old libraries and got a new method of doing it. This one is confirmed working even on my crippled work cloud computer, so should be fixed now ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_smile.gif” />

[DMNBT]

Confirming that it works perfectly now, thanks for your work!

v3.4.9

SETLIST MANAGER

- Improved process for adding songs to your Setlist automatically using song files: now you drag and drop one or multiple song files or packs and all the songs will be be added to the Setlist automatically without even needing to press a button

- Changed behavior to not allow moving around of panels unless you go to Panels -> User can move panels

- Fixed bug where Setlist Manager would not know which Setlist file to open by default if you renamed the one you were using and then forced the program to close through Ctrl+Alt+Delete or similar



SETLIST EXPORTER

- Added custom PDF format as requested by the always awesome espher



VISUALIZER

- Improved how custom themes are used: place themename_overlay.png and themename_button.png in the res/vis_themes/ folder, then in Visualizer click on the yellow plus sign near the bottom to open the theme selection screen and you'll see all available themes and can preview any theme by clicking on it

- Included custom themes by Nightmare Lyra (Norway) and drummerockband (Canada)

- Improved when some of the preset custom themes are auto-loaded at runtime



UPGRADE BUNDLER

- Fixed bug that would delete original RBHP songs.dta file if used as part of the bundling process



GENERAL

- Fixed handling of some kinds of non-standard characters experienced by one of our users

Warning: My format is a billion pages long, but out of several formats I tried/tested locally back when my song library was a paltry 1k songs, it was always the most popular.

 

Super thanks to Nemo for doing this up for me, though, esp. in .pdf format. I was working off of an OpenOffice spreadsheet and manually handling paging etc. back in the day and it was a freaking nightmare… and then I had to deal with Office mangling the crap out of the margins.

I am getting the following error in both v3.4.8.1 and v3.4.9 when exporting a setlist:

 

************** Exception Text **************

System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly ‘PDFLibNet.dll’ or one of its dependencies. The specified module could not be found.

I am running C3 CON Tools on Windows XP SP3. Please let me know if you need anything else from me. Thanks!

I think that error is pretty self explanatory, no? it needs that DLL file, and it can’t find it. It should be in the /bin/ directory of the program. If it’s not there, redownload and make sure your antivirus isn’t deleting anything for some stupid reason. If it is, then it might be a Windows XP issue and I have no way to fix that. Hopefully it’s the former and not the latter.

I run WinXP and have no issues, fwiw.

I am fairly confident that it is finding PDFLibNet.dll but for some reason it is unable to load it successfully. PdfFileWriter.dll is in the same bin directory and it seems to load that for example.

I run WinXP and have no issues’ date=’ fwiw.[/quote’]Are you running 64 bit Windows XP by chance? Is it possible this is a 32 bit vs 64 bit issue as I am running 32 bit Windows XP. Thanks again!

[TrojanNemo]

Those are two different and required libraries, make sure both are there. I hope I didn’t derp again and include a x64 DLL again (happened already once with a different library). I’ll take a look tonight. It’s so easy to overlook since both work fine on my x64 setup.

Success! Scouring the net for similar issues with PDFLibNet.dll I came across the following at https://code.google.com/p/pdfviewer-win32/issues/detail?id=32

it was missing MS C++ 2010 redistribute to solve this issue!! Hope it will help all

So I downloaded and installed Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86) and sure enough it now works! Yay! No idea how that person figured it out based on the error but glad they did. Don’t know if this fix can be included in the C3 CON Tools package but at least there is a fix for those that have the issue.

 

This is the link to the package I used to solve the issue for me just in case

[TrojanNemo]

Not really something I’ll be including but at least we know it’s a requirement. I’ll update the OP to include some of the common requirements. Thanks.
