Hello. I’ve been using Quelea for a few years now, did not have any problems. Recently desktop app started “freezing”, there is no “response” to anything, I can’t even cloce it and only restarting pc helps for that time, then problem repeats. I thougth at first that maybe my version was outdated an corrupted somehow (2020), so I updated to 2021 version (newest not-beta version) but problem remains. What could I do to solve it? ---

Hello Estera, you can try with a different user on the same machine. Quelea keeps your song database and Bibles in a folder .quelea in user’s profile/home directory. Switching users will create an empty database. This way you can test whether your current database is somehow corrupt. (Or you can rename the .quelea folder to .quelea-old in your current profile if you know how to find that folder). Please report back, we can follow based on your findings. Regards Jan ---

Hello. Thank you for your advice. I tried renaming folder, but unfortunately problem remains - Quelea freezed just after I finished setting it up. After all of this I decided to try another software…
