Autoscroll not working

[Dave Charles]

On imported PDF files the auto scroll feature does not work.

At the end of the elapsed scroll time the page simply flips on page 2 without the gradual scrolling.

I have tested this on Android versions 7 and 11

Hi Dave,

Unfortunately it isn't a bug, but a compromise of using PDF files on a program that is designed for OpenSong formatted songs.  The app divides the time between the pages and scrolls a page at a time, then slips to the next page horizontally, not vertically.  The reason behind this was memory usage and fitting in with the existing code for OpenSong formatted songs.

However, I am working on a major update that will include vertical autoscrolling through PDF pages, but there will still be compromises.  E.g. A pdf with virtually all the content on page 1 and just a few lines on page 2.  Because pages 1 and 2 are still A4/letter size, they will have the autoscrolling time divided equally between them.  OpenSong formatted songs are the size of the song only, so don't suffer this issue.

The new app will have an improved OCR to to extract pdf songs into OpenSong Songs of yours prefer too.

Best wishes,

Gareth
