PG Music should enroll me as a tester! Always looking for details, which does not prevent me "to have fun" with BiaB...
My last found: I wanted to find a (2021) title that I had noted in my small head (Moping Blues) and went through the song picker, (set to the folder BB/DEMOS): nothing came out (??). I could find the title anyway since I had set it to my favorites...
Checking now the song picker, I see that it only finds songs from 2007 (year when I started to have fun) to 2018 (???) and I see hundred of ways to choose songs (feel, Genre etc...) but not to change the dates up to the last version 2021...
Under Others/song files from these years, I find the date "limited up to 2018. Changing the date to 2021 works (and I get the title I was looking for), but it does not stay set and re-opening the song picker sets it to 2018 again.
So, do I get the job or am I fired?!!!!
Of course, I know that the developers have other things to do at this time of the year, but have a look on it..

The point with Beta Tester is of course just a joke, the question to the forum is, is that what I describe correct and can others check the same "problem" or is it just me?

That's fine. Actually, I wasn't joking.

I think it's acceptable to share a couple of things about testing:

When something unusual or critical comes up on these regular forums, beta testers often call it to the attention of the developers, as they do not always monitor all the forums. I don't think this is any secret, as we announce it to help reassure posters that their issue has been noticed by fellow users.

Testing continues after the main public release. The beta testing period is short, but the testing area is kept open. When you get a new update, some of us have already tested it. Do we find everything? Of course not. We use the program as we normally would, but no two users work exactly the same and so some things are not found until the public release. That's just how it is with any software. The Song Picker, the indexing, etc. has been getting some attention for this update. Hang in.

Hello Bernard,

This is not quite what happens in my testing. If the 'date range' filter is "active", you'll see it displayed right on the main Song Picker dialog - e.g.



Additionally, if you close the Song Picker and re-open it, it will remember the active filter(s).

However, I AM seeing that the "default" upper limit of the date range filter is 2018 and we should change this to the current year.
