When you delete a songbook via the "Delete" button in VideoPsalm, you can get it back easily.
Let's say that you deleted a songbook, for example your “Big Song Collection”:
Instead, it renames it with a .ignore file extension and thus does not load it at the next start.
If your songbook was called "Complete Mission Praise Book.vpc", after deletion it will be called "Complete Mission Praise Book.vpc.ignore".
1. Open the VideoPsalm options and navigate to the folder where VideoPsalm stores its documents:
C:\Users\Public\Documents\VideoPsalm
VideoPsalm stores the songbooks in the "Songbooks" sub-folder:
C:\Users\Public\Documents\VideoPsalm\Songbooks
If your songbook was called "Complete Mission Praise Book.vpc", after deletion it will be called "Complete Mission Praise Book.vpc.ignore".
2. Rename the songbook file by removing the ".ignore" file extension.
If you don't see file extensions, tell the Windows File Explorer to display them.
By default, Windows hides the file extensions.
To complete the recover process, tell Windows to show the file extensions, via the Windows File Explorer options:
3. Start VideoPsalm to check if your songbook is back.
