Is anyone else having a problem with BIAB 2015 remembering favorites that they mark using the asterisk (*) in the RealDrum Picker dialog?

On page 245 of the manual, it says you can "click in this column to enter an asterisk indicating that this is a favorite" but sometimes (but not always) after I do this, then click OK, then return to the dialog box, the asterisk(s) that I have set up sometimes are gone, or move to other rows.

Is there a "commit" or "save" process that I'm missing?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Chris,

Welcome to the forum.

This is not a feature that I use. I just tried setting the asterisk for three drum patterns, exited the Realdrum picker and then reopened it. The asterisks were still there.

I'll have a look again tomorrow and see if they are still present.

Regards,
Noel

Here is how to recreate it:

1. Open the RealDrums Picker and if needed, click the "Style Name" column to make sure the list is "sorted ascending" (e.g. sort Blues... before Bodhran... etc.) and for simplicity, check that there are no favorites (*) set up on any columns yet.

2. put an asterisk (*) in the "favorites" column on the following two RealDrums Styles:

BluesShuffleHard^
BluesShuffle^

3. click the "OK" button to close the picker dialog box

4. re-open the picker and if your system is like mine, you will see that there is only one style marked as a favorite


I tried different tests and it appears that the trigger is having an ascending sort by style name, and choosing specific combinations of styles that I want as favorites.

Whenever I pick a couple of styles where the names do not have a traditional alphanumeric ascending sort order, the problem occurs.

For example, I can make it happen if the two styles are "BossaBrushesSwing" and "BossaBrushes". It also happens with a combination of "CountryShuffle68^" and "CountryShuffle".

In each test case, one of the two styles does not display as a favorite after I close and re-open the picker.

I assume it happens whenever the "top" style sorts "higher" than the "bottom" style in the list.

It gets really comical when you try to then fix the problem from within the picker. If you set an asterisk on the style that is missing the asterisk, then close and re-open the picker, the problem reverses itself!
