    2. Or, you can load only those songs, set lists, and logos not presently on your BLACK BOX Prompter
  3. Added automatic import of charts from Ultimate Guitar (UG) while using UG in the BLACK BOX Prompter Internet Browser mode.
    1. Download button on UG will result in a true PDF being added
    2. Print to PDF in UG will result in a text based file being added – if possible.  If the text conversion fails a true PDF file will be automatcially generated.
    3. The files need to be saved in the default “Downloads” directory.
    4. This conversion should work for other sites that download or print to pdf files.  
  4. Changed PDF/Image navigation
    1. Hitting the right pedal (right arrow) will move to each page of a song
    2. At the end of the song hitting the right pedal (right arrow) will only to the next song if the next song is text based.  If the next song is another PDF/Image the screen will go back to the song list and the cursor will automatically move to the next song.  This allows for users to get out of a set list when they have all or many PDF/Image files.
