What operating systems will OpenLP 2.4 support?
-----------------------------------------------
What operating systems does OpenLP support?
-------------------------------------------
OpenLP 2.4 is designed to be cross platform. Currently it has been known to run
on Windows (Vista, 7, 8, 10), Linux (Ubuntu and its variants, Fedora, Debian,
ArchLinux, Mint, OpenSUSE and many many others), FreeBSD & Mac OS X.

Which programming language is 2.4 developed in?
-----------------------------------------------
Which programming language is OpenLP developed in?
--------------------------------------------------
OpenLP 2.4 is written in `Python3 <http://www.python.org>`_ and uses the
`Qt5 toolkit <http://www.qt.io>`_. Both are cross-platform which allows the
software to run on different types of machine and so allow more people access to
free worship software. Python is one of the easier programming languages to
learn, so this helps us develop and `find bugs <http://wiki.openlp.org/Bug#Something_has_gone_wrong.2C_what_should_I_do_to_help_get_it_fixed.3F>`_
quicker, and also allows more developers to contribute with the project.

OpenLP has support for multiple languages which can be seen on the
:menuselection:`Settings -->Translate` menu. However some of these translations
are incomplete. If you would like to help complete or start to translate OpenLP
into your language then see the `Getting started page <http://wiki.openlp.org/Translation:Getting_Started>`_.

Upgrading
=========
.. warning::
Newer versions of OpenLP are not backwards compatible with earlier versions. Once you have upgraded to a newer
version, the older version of OpenLP will not be able to read the upgraded files.
.. note::
It is always a good idea to make a backup when prompted by OpenLP.
Can I upgrade from any 1.9.x or 2.0.x release to 2.4?
-----------------------------------------------------
No, you should first upgrade to the last stable release in the 2.0-series
(2.0.5) and then upgrade to 2.4 to ensure that data is correctly converted.
You can download OpenLP 2.0.5 from <http://sourceforge.net/projects/openlp/files/openlp/2.0.5/>`_.
No, you should first upgrade to the last stable release in the 2.0-series (2.0.5) and then upgrade to 2.4 to ensure
that data is correctly converted. You can download OpenLP 2.0.5 from `<https://get.openlp.org/2.0.5/>`_.
Can I upgrade directly from 1.2 to 2.4?
---------------------------------------
No, you will have to install 2.0.5 first, then import the 1.2 data and then
upgrade to 2.4. See the 2.0 documentation for how to upgrade from 1.2 to
2.0. You can download OpenLP 2.0.5 from <http://sourceforge.net/projects/openlp/files/openlp/2.0.5/>`_.

Does 2.4 replace older 2.x versions, or can they be run side by side?
---------------------------------------------------------------------
OpenLP 2.4 and earlier 2.x versions cannot run side by side. When running 2.4 for first time
any existing 2.x data will automatically be converted to the 2.4 format.
Note that OpenLP 2.4 is not backwards compatible with earlier 2.x versions. Once you have
upgraded from the older OpenLP versions cannot read the upgraded files. OpenLP 2.4 will
ask if it should make a backup on startup, which can be used in case you want
to downgrade again.

Where can I download an older version of OpenLP?
------------------------------------------------
.. warning::
Only the most current version of OpenLP is supported. If you submit a bug report for an older version, you will be
told to upgrade first.
Sometimes you might need to download an older version of OpenLP. You can always find previous versions of OpenLP on our
download server: `<https://get.openlp.org/>`_

============

I have started OpenLP, but I cannot see the songs or bibles section in the Library

When you installed OpenLP, the first time wizard would have asked which plugins
you wanted, and songs and bibles should have been selected. If for some reason
they were not, then you will need to activate them yourself. See below
for instructions.

How do I activate / deactivate a plugin?

Plugins can be turned on and off from the Plugin List Screen. Select the plugin
you wish to start/stop and change its status. You should not need to restart
OpenLP.

What are these plugins that I keep seeing mentioned?

(Songs, Bibles, Presentations) etc but it is possible for the application to be
extended with functionality only you require. If this is the case then go for
it but lets us know as we can help and it may be something someone else wants.

How do I enable PowerPoint/Impress/PowerPoint Viewer?
-----------------------------------------------------
First of all ensure that the presentation plugin is enabled (see above).
Then to enable a presentation application, go to the `Settings` dialog, switch
to the `Presentations` tab and check one of the enabled checkboxes. OpenLP will
automatically detect which of the three you have installed, and enable the
appropriate checkbox(es). Check the applications you require, and then restart
OpenLP for the change to be detected.
Note, PowerPoint Viewer 2010 is not yet supported, use 2003 or 2007.
.. note::
Why can LibreOffice Impress not be used on Mac OS X?
----------------------------------------------------
PowerPoint, Keynote and LibreOffice are not supported on macOS due to limitations within the platform. This is
outside of our control.
Currently the presentations plugin does not support Impress on OS X. The
reason for that is that the interoperability component (pyuno) in LibreOffice on
Mac OS X cannot be used by OpenLP due to incompatibilities between the version
of Python used by LibreOffice and the Python version used by OpenLP.
.. note::
Why can MS PowerPoint not be used on Mac OS X?
----------------------------------------------
PowerPoint Viewer 2010 is not supported, use 2003 or 2007.
Currently the presentations plugin does not support PowerPoint on OS X. The
reason for that is that so far we have found that the available method to
control PowerPoint on OS X is not good enough for integration with OpenLP.
If this changes we will look at including this feature.
First of all ensure that the presentation plugin is enabled (see above). Then to enable a presentation application, go

Why does PowerPoint presentations not advance automatically
-----------------------------------------------------------
Why don't PowerPoint presentations advance automatically?
---------------------------------------------------------
The reason that PowerPoint does not advance automatically is that it can only do
so when it has the focus. But when using OpenLP for controlling presentation,
OpenLP has the focus. So in order to make PowerPoint advance automatically the
focus must be switched to PowerPoint, which can be done by clicking the
Powerpoint-icon in the taskbar once the PowerPoint presentation has opened.

Is it possible to get Bible x? How?

Is it possible to get a particular translation of the Bible? How?
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The Bible plugin has a `Import Wizard` which can import Bibles
from a variety of sources. The following sources are supported:
.. note::
OpenLP does not have distrubution rights for most popular translations of the Bible. Bible societies require
exhorbitant licensing costs which OpenLP could never afford. We cannot help you find those Bibles.
The Bible plugin has a `Import Wizard` which can import Bibles from a variety of sources. The following sources are

Why do my Bible verses take a long time to load?
------------------------------------------------
In order to better conform to copyright law, the Web Download Bibles are not
downloaded when you import them, but on the fly as you search for them. As a
result, the search takes a little longer if you need to download those
particular verses. Having said that, the Web Download Bibles cache downloaded
verses so that you do not need to download them again.

My Bible is on the Web Download sites, but my Church is not on the internet. What options do I have?

When you create and save a service, all the items in the service are saved with
it. That means any images, presentations, songs and media items are saved. This
is also true for bibles. What this means is you can create the service on your
home computer, insert a Bible passage from the web, save it and then open the
service using your church computer and voila, the Bible passage should be there!
Note this can also be done with songs, etc!

With the release of Mac OS X 10.8 applications not downloaded throught the Mac
App Store will not run by default. A setting must be changed in the Security &
Privacy Settings to run OpenLP.
With the release of Mac OS X 10.7.5, applications that are not signed by a developer registered with Apple will not run
by default. In order to run OpenLP the first time after installation, you will need to "teach" your computer to trust
the OpenLP application.
Click the Apple icon and open System Preferences
First, go to the :guilabel:`Applications` folder and right-click on OpenLP (two-finger click on touch pads, or
:kbd:`Control+click` if you don't have a right mouse button). This will bring up a context menu as shown. Select "Open"
from that menu.

Change the setting from Mac App Store to Anywhere. If the settings are grayed
out click on the lock in the lower lefthand corner of the settings window to
enable editing.
You will see a prompt asking whether you are sure you want to open "OpenLP", noting that it is from an unidentified
developer. It will look very similar to the pictured dialog.

To run OpenLP you simply need to click "Open". In future, you can simply run OpenLP just like any other application
(double-click in Applications, or keep it in the Dock for easy access) without going through these steps.

You may need to repeat similar steps when you upgrade OpenLP (once per upgrade).
If the steps above don't work, you may need to set your GateKeeper settings (under :guilabel:`Security && Privacy`) to
"Mac App Store and identified developers", as seen below.
