Gary, Check the settings in Screen tab. I think that you choosed "Windowed mode" instead of "Fullscreen". In the windowed mode the aspect ratio can be choosed, because you set exact size of a window. By default, PicturesToExe creates new a project with "Fullscreen" mode. Probably you modified the default template for new project and saved it.

Denis, Sorry for my late response. This small problem will be fixed in the next update (8.0.2).

Yes, I asked the permission of Jean-Charles to use his demo project on WnSoft site.

Jean-Charles, Amazing show about PicturesToExe! Thenk you very much! With gratitude,

Vincent, Thanks, this feature in my TODO list for future version(s).

Well, suppose we do this. But what will happen when user opens this project in PicturesToExe where this style already installed? Should PicturesToExe use a style from a backup copy or from own storage?

A style may includes resources: - custom transition effect; - additional image/video files which are not main images. For example, background picture. These files are not being copied when you create a backup of a project in a ZIP archive. Because project links resources of a style. There is a global storage of the installed styles (built-in and user styles). If you want to copy your project to another PC, you have to export your style and copy a project. Import the style on a new PC and then open your project. Some built-in styles contain custom transitions ("Basic" -> "Blur - Zoom In/Out"). Users can create their project they don't see "additional" files of custom transitions. I understand that probably some users might find useful copying of all style resouces to a project folder. But it will mean one more option when author creates a new style. Also we should develope a new conception - THE FOLDER where to save project resources. Or several sub-folders - for images, audio, other resources. We could save audio comments there, custom transitions. Currently PicturesToExe is not ready for the idea which you asked.

That's correct work of PicturesToExe.

Dave, Do you mean renaming of objects or something else?

I wrote earlier that it requires a new version of ffmpeg library. We recently started this work, and it will be finished for the next version. This change also will provide better compatiblity with different video formats.

I didn't realize that it might cause such problems. We'll think how to simplify the upgrade for existing users who have old long license key (up to v6.5). Please give me several days.

Steeplejack, The upgrade form doesn't accept extracted key which looks like this: 0ebaWDX70BKxW <...> Flg/uDddY8a8cjiDJDF4XkI= (Keys for PicturesToExe 1.0 - 6.5) You need to use the original key which we sent you in the email after purchasing.

Sorry, I should to take at least short break with further answers, or it may damage to my health. I was in a strong tension for many days due to hard work on PicturesToExe 8. Please write to our support team: http://www.wnsoft.com/support/

Eric, Please re-read my message above. P.S. I owe you £3

Chris, Please send request to our support team: http://www.wnsoft.com/support/ Eric, Today the internal exchange rate GBP to USD on PayPro Global is 1.54. It's floating every day as I know. PayPro Global is a Canadian company. I just corrected the upgrade price in GBP. Now it's £22 for the UK + VAT. Probably I'll turn on dynamic price for the UK customers, the prices in GBP will depend on current rate of USD.
