Thanks for your responses and comments! Vincent, It's a good point. But on other hand, new users also should learn how "Fit/Cover" options affect to a project. And I think probably they should not care about these "advanced" options. Gary, The default template is being applied to a new slide with one main image. Of course, you can include other images - they simply will be added to the new slide. I think that you need to use a slide style for the task which you explained.

Gary, Yes, in the default template of a new slide you can customize the border of the main image. Dave, Exactly. It was the main reason. And give universal tool where user can customize everything that you can do in the Objects and animation editor.

Hi, What you think about the following improvement in future version 9.0. You can customize a default template of a new slide. 1. The Project options windows will contain a button "Customize default slide". When you click this button you'll see the Objects & animation editor. Adjust any parameter of a slide: size of the main image, shadow, Cover/Fit mode, animation, etc. 2. When you add a new slide the Slide list, this template will be applied automatically. Note: Defaults tab will be removed from the Project options, because everything can be customized through "Default slide". Please let me know what you think?

jt, Denis, Thanks for the files! I'm trying to reproduce this problem now.

Denis, Please send me this project (all files).

jt, Daniel, 1. Please tell me - does this problem happen with a particular project or with several other projects? 2. Can you send me source files of your project in ZIP archive. I'll try to reproduce this problem.

Denis, PicturesToExe supports MP3 files with CBR and VBR. Some very rare MP3 files with VBR may play incorrectly (synchronization issues).

Lin, Probably the new Objects and animation editor will simplify this task. It will bring new capabilities for animation.

jt, The usage of that trick in the Project Options is correct. This will work. Initially we thought it it's useless, but for your task it's usefull. We will try to return to this subject later. Probably users will able do same in the Timeline view.

wideangle, Peter, Thanks, I'm very glad! I'll publish the official update as version 8.0.14 soon. You can use the test version, because it's stable.

wideangle, Please try the updated version: http://www.wnsoft.com/files/test/picturestoexe-setup-8014-beta.exe It fixes the problem with a size of shadow for video objects. Please let me know about a result.

wideangle, I confirm this problem with a shadow for a video object. We'll try to fix it soon. Thanks!

Daniel, I confirm your observations. And I tend to think that we should remove "Hold time points..." mode since it difficult to provide correct work of the program with all combinations ("Hold timepoints", "Keep full slide duration", etc).

Hello Andy, Thanks for your interest to PicturesToExe! One license key can be used on 2 your computers. So you can use one license key on a PC and laptop.

jt, Thanks!

Thanks, Tom!

Tom, jt, We fixed this problem. Please try the updated version: http://www.wnsoft.com/files/test/picturestoexe-setup.exe If everything is OK, we'll publish this version as 8.0.13

Hi Tom, We reproduced this problem on Windows 8.1 and we're working on the solution right now.

Thanks! I'll check up on Windows 8.1 tomorrow.

Tom, Thanks for the test project! I still can't reproduce this problem. Please can other member check this project?

Hello Larry, I apologize for this problem! Please try the following: 1. Uninstall PicturesToExe 8. 2. Download new version 8.0.12 from WnSoft website: www.wnsoft.com/files/picturestoexe/picturestoexe-setup.exe 3. Install PicturesToExe 8 again. At first run, if the program will suggest you import settings from previous versions, please IGNORE this action. If it doesn't help, please check your computer with antivirus. If you have connected network drives or USB hard drive, try to temporarily disconnect them. Maybe your computer is overheating due to dust? Just a guess. If it possible, please check temperature of your CPU and video card.

Hi Tom, Please can you send me all project files? Create a backup in a ZIP archive. Do you see this problem, if you start a new project and add this custom transition?

Bert, Please add PC file to "The Bannack Album" publication on Slideshowclub.

Hi, Microsoft has published a recent update KB3013455 for Windows Vista. This update caused visual problems with fonts in many programs. For example: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-windows_update/kb3013455-ms15-010-causes-font-corruption/8640d38d-19bd-46b6-9af0-6213c05107d3 In PicturesToExe you can observe missing letters in Text objects. This problem doesn't affect Windows 7, 8 or XP. Solution: Uninstall update KB3013455 in Windows Update center, or wait for the new update from Microsoft. Note: This problem doesn't affect to existing executable slideshows, because PicturesToExe converts text captions to vector data.

Hi, If you have Windows Vista please read my message here: http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums/index.php?/topic/18295-problem-with-text-fonts-in-windows-vista-solution/
