Been around BIAB for a while. I am using 2019, bit rusty.

For some reason I cant do probably THE most basic thing in BIAB. Change a style.

I go to the style picker, select a style so that it is highlighted, press OK then.... nothing. Style Picker exits but the style of the song does not change.

I can't seem to find a way?

Should be obvious, but not to me. speedy help would be appreciated.

thank you

Can we first confirm a couple obvious...

Are your tracks frozen?
Have you reset to factory settings?

Thinking further, does the new selected Style appear in the Style selected window at the top of the screen?

As above. Also, when you select the style, do you get a prompt to do a Rebuild (Fast or Slow)? Nothing will happen unless you do that. This is something normal that you must do upon first use after an update.

Thank you fellas.
I have been on to PG. It took an hour or more, but this is what we jointly decided:

Please nbote that these issues follow after a complete reinstall advised by PG vafter other issues six weeks ago.

1] When the style picker is first launched before a rebuild, then all styles are shown, you can therefore try to select a style which you do not actaully possess. the quick view function will play a sample, but the style itself is not on your machine. You CAN favoritise this phantom style, but you cannot select it and use it. I must have done this and favorited it. it would not load.

2] I rebuilt the style list but the style the styles in question vanished from the stylepicker, but remained in my favourites list as a n/a (NON APPLICABLE?) style

3] The download manager in my case is misreporting that I have not installed 3 setup files for styles. I have installed these numerous times, they are still being misreported! They are showing in the "what styles do you have" dialgue, but not the download manager.

4] "The what styles do I have" dialogue reports that I do not have any missing styles

5] After rebuilding the style list the remaining styles seem to work

6] The Style packs are not included in the "What styles do I have dialogue" (which you have to realise telepathically)and the style I was struggling with, is in a style pack that I did not own - so it would not have show up anyway.

I have never really understood the difference between mega plus omni ultra audiophile xtra packs, plus packs, bonus packs and jam sandwiches. I just want the thing to work.

thanks for your concerns folks

I blame it on Covid. Everything is getting wanky... it just ain't normal out there anymore.

Probably N/A = Not Available

I have had this problem sporadically in recent builds, having styles not load and alternately having an access error window pop up. Styles load and I don’t get the access error message has if I doubleclick the style selected first. I’m not sure what is happening but think there may be a bug.

*Ultra Pack has most styles / real tracks. I think Omni pack has everything. All others have less content that will show as N/A (Not Available)
--------------

I am just guessing here. You have over 1600 posts so you must have been around for some time... And most likely have a lot of Real Tracks and styles from previous versions prior to 2019.... Could it be that you did not install previous content and only upgraded the software program part?
