Hello, Several members wrote me that they observe a significant delay when they install PicturesToExe. It happened when they run "picturestoexe-setup.exe" file. Probably this problem related with antivirus software. If you experience this problem, please let me know: 1. Did you have this problem with any version/update of 7.5? 2. Download these two files: http://www.wnsoft.com/files/test/picturestoexe-setup_signed.exe http://www.wnsoft.com/files/test/picturestoexe-setup_unsigned.exe Then open a folder with downloaded files in Windows Explorer and try to run first file, then another file. Do you have a delay with launching of these files? 3. Version of Windows, 32-bit or 64-bit, antivirus software. 4. Web browser.

Peter, Mini-player ignores "Repeat show..." option, because it's behaviour of an executable show. Also mini-player ignores unticked state of "Synchronize slides and audio" option. It always work in synchronized mode due to logical reasons. v7.5.8 should use your default template (if it was assigned) for a new project. Please try right now how it will work. Also make sure that in the manager of templates your necessary template is choosed by default.

Peter, It might occur only if you uncheck "Synchronize slides and music" in the Advanced tab of the Project options. With synchronized mode "Repeat show after last slide" rewinds audio track, too.

I'm glad! Thanks for the confirmation. P.S. In future version we will keep a license keys in a file, not in Windows Registry. It should solve these strange problems.

Leo, I just sent you personal message with a new license key. Please read it.

Hello Leo, We apologize for this problem! Please let me know - what antivirus/Internet security software you have installed on your computer?

Peter, I can't reproduce this problem with a show you've sent me (7 slides, 30 seconds). The playback of audio stops at the end of last slide (00:30) and then shows exits as expected. Does this problem new for v7.5.8 or it happened in previous updates/versions?

Peter, Thanks for the confirmation regarding first problem. Do I understand rightly that the second problem is not related with this WAV file and can be reproduced with any MP3 audio file? If yes, please create a new topic, it will help me better track problems.

Hi Peter, This problem should be fixed in the new test version: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/27544810/pte/picturestoexe-setup.exe Please try different WAV files to make sure that everything is OK, we changed the code for WAV files. I'll publish v7.5.8 later officially.

Daniel, Please try a new version with a fix for this problem: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/27544810/pte/picturestoexe-setup.exe

Thanks, Daniel! I confirm this bug.

Hello Denis, A very interesting problem! Please start a new project in version 7.5. Add an image file to the Slide list. Do you see correct colors on added picture? If it the problem still exists, please uninstall PicturesToExe and re-install the software again. Also update manually drivers for your video card.

Peter, Thanks, I downloaded the WAV file and confirm this issue. We'll try to solve this problem. When internal PicturesToExe's WAV decoder fails to open a audio file it loads it with ffmpeg library. So you can hear this audio file in preview or in mini-player. But you create EXE file without video clips we don't include ffmpeg library (to optimize EXE file size), so this WAV file can't be loaded. We'll try go fix a problem in WAV decoder to solve the problem completely.

Thanks, please use it as main version. I'll publish it later as v7.5.8 with other possible fixes.

Gary, Please try a special version with a fix for this issue: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/27544810/pte/picturestoexe-setup.exe

Gary, Thanks, I confirm this bug! It will be solved in the next update.

Peter, Can you reproduce this problem in a new project with as posssible smaller number of slides and audio files? Please send me source files of a test project.

I recomend to use the following ways. Please look on attached screenshot. This is more fast and flexible way than in previous versions. Also you can set exact time position in the mini-player to start a preview between two slides.

Please try the latest version 7.5.

There is a number of video formats and combinations. In some cases we can't determine correctly progressive/interlace mode. Please set the necessary mode manually in the Objects & animation editor.

PicturesToExe Deluxe 7.5.7 is available now Download: http://www.wnsoft.com/files/picturestoexe/picturestoexe-setup.exe (12 MB) List of changes: * Bug fixes.

Thanks, I understood now. I think it's correct behaviour. Because it's a mini-player with its default navigation bar.

Daniel, Please tell me - do you use latest version 7.5.6?

Thanks to all members for your comments! The results are very interesting and clear. We can change default aspect ratio for new projects to 16:9 in future version. "Cover slide" option for main images will appear in future version. 16:10 is more rare format and I think it should not be suggested by default. For this reason I moved it to answer "Other".

Please answer on two questions above. I'm looking for best default values of these options in future version. Also we plan to add a new option for main images to the Project options | Defaults tab - "Fit to slide" and "Cover slide". This option will be applied automatically for new slides.
