Hi fellows. I have 2018 BIAB,updated to 512 build.
I am getting desperate here a bit. Every time I try to open a style... in that style picker window I constantly get this dialog: "The Style Master List needs to be updated for new styles etc..."
Ok, I say to that... it rebuilds, verifies, eliminates duplicates, whatever the mo-jo it does. When it is done, the next time I open style picker it asks me same thing: "The Style Master List needs to be updated for new styles etc..."
Is there a magical button out of about a thousand magical buttons that BIAB has to turn off this wonderful reminder every time I pick a different style?
VideoTrack, Thank you for trying/suggestion. I ran biab as admimnistator, stylepicker: "The Style Master List needs to be updated for new styles etc..." agreed. Opened stylepicker again, same dialog: "The Style Master List needs to be updated for new styles etc..."
P.S. I do not know if this situation causes the issue: I moved Realtracks and Drums to another hard drive on computer because I was running low on space on primary drive, but I pointed them to correct paths in biab.
I followed all Noel96 15 steps, checked VideoTrack suggestion of time stamp / attributes. (Time stamp is correct, it is NOT read only file) Same thing, still get the dialog "master List needs to be updated" every time I enter stylepicker.
I only have several projects in BIAB. I am assuming, next thing is complete reinstall of BIAB?
Like Videotrack, I can't recall this problem ever occurring before. I wonder if it's related to anti-virus software? What program do you use to protect your computer from viruses?
Try excluding your \bb and \Realband directories from being checked by the antivirus software. See if that helps.
One thought that just occurred to me.... what is your installation directory on your hard drive? If you've installed BIAB into "\program files", this is known to create issues.
If this problem was mine, my next step would be to reinstall. I'd choose the minimum installation with Realtracks on the external drive. (It shouldn't be necessary to reinstall all RTs.)
Once installation was complete, I'd modify the Realtracks and Realdrums paths so that they pointed to the installation's Realtrack's and Realdrum's folders that are already installed.
1: When it asks to rebuild, is there a Code listed on the request dialog?
2: Do you have a file named 'RebuildStylePicker.txt' in the x:\bb\Data folder. It is placed there with a new installation / upgrade to signal BiaB to force a rebuild when installing or updating styles by installing that file.
Once the rebuild is done, BiaB is supposed to delete this file. However if it is failing to delete it for some reason, that could explain the problem you have. Could you see if you have that file?
3: Press the Rebuild button at the bottom of the StylePicker, instead of selecting it from the pop-up message dialog. See if that makes a difference.

Noel got me thinking: along the lines of anti-virus, I recall we had a few cases where users had to turn off the anti-virus BEFORE installing BIAB. Not just exclude BIAB. Otherwise, they got weird symptoms like this one.
Paul, what anti-virus do you use? It might be one we have heard of with this problem.
