Probably you have noticied appearing of Play/Pause controls in the floating window of audio clip. Nearest beta releases will have new significant improvements for audio editing and manipulations.

Fixed for the next Beta 6.

Umberto, OK, I'll wait. You're right. I'll fix it in the Beta 6. Thank you!

PicturesToExe Deluxe 6.5 Beta 5 is available Download link: http://www.wnsoft.com/apr/picturestoexe-beta.zip (7 MB) Changes in this beta: + Added Play/Pause buttons and rewinding to a floating window of selected audio clip. * Fixed problem (Beta 1-4) with incorrect playback of some MP3 mono audio files in Mac executables under Mac OSX 10.6.x. * Fixed bug (Beta 1-4) with "Play songs in random order" option (Project options | Music tab). An order of songs didn't change in every run of executable slideshow. * Fixed bug with appearing of an error message during creating of a project template. * Fixed bug (Beta 1-4) when background music started in a startup window of a slideshow.

I can't reproduce this issue with waveform. Please send me a test project with these two audio files to illustrate the problem. Sorry, I'm not sure about your second question. Tracks intended to play simultaneously two or more audio clips.

Thanks, I just fixed it for next Beta 5.

Eric, Thanks, we've reproduced that issue and I just fixed it. Please wait for Beta 5.

David, Repeat function works for all tracks. Repeat will start when a longer track finishes. Sorry, it's impossible. Thanks, it's a mistake in the code of the program. We'll fix it in the next beta release. We think the current behaviour is correct. I wouldn't change this mode. Thanks, probably in the next version. Now we're still working on other audio features for v6.5.

PicturesToExe Deluxe 6.5 Beta 4 is available Download link: http://www.wnsoft.com/apr/picturestoexe-beta.zip (7 MB) Changes in this beta: * Fixed bug with option "Repeat music after playing". It didn't work in Beta 1-3. * Fixed issue with playback of 22KHz audio files in executable slideshows for Mac. * Improved reliability of executable slideshows for Mac. * Fixed bug (Beta 1-3) with a tree of objects in the Objects and animation editor. Sometimes it didn't remember state of items (expanded/collapsed). * Improved reliability of the Objects and animation editor.

Dominique, I did it on purpose because the mask objects are often don't have visible borders and it's difficult to work with. Same behaviour with Frame objects. If you think that it isn't logical when we have "Hide selection on pan/zoom/rotate" option, please let me know. Regarding the second issue in O&A we've sent you PM. raycock Thanks, we've reproduced this problem! It will be fixed in the next beta release. Peter, We've sent you PM for additional info.

Thanks, Peter! I'll check up tomorrow. P.S. A new discovered bug is an always good news for me - one more possibility to improve PicturesToExe!

Peter, We've finally fixed this issue for next Beta 4. Thank you for the sample project file!

Jean-Cyprien, Thank you! With the supplied examples I see these performance issues with 6.0 and 6.5. We'll try to optimize related code in PicturesToExe. It's difficult task.

Jean-Cyprien, Do you mean that a particular slideshow has more smoothness (fluidity) being created in version 5.6 than in 6.0-6.5 Beta 3? If yes, please send me source files of this project. A state of the object tree should be saved in a project file. What you could suggest, please?

Regarding executables for Mac: We'll fix an issue with playback of mono audio files in Beta 4. Also here we'll fix an issue with crashing of Mac slideshows with some project settings.

Thank you! P.S. Please use Beta 3 more widely, it should be enough reliable release.

Please try again now. I had a problem with uploading.

PicturesToExe Deluxe 6.5 Beta 3 is available Download link: http://www.wnsoft.com/apr/picturestoexe-beta.zip (7 MB) Changes in this beta: * Fixed bugs (v6.5 Beta 1-2) with a slow performance on heavy slides in comparison to previous version.

Probably yes.

Thanks, Peter! Jean-Cyprien, Dominique, We just discovered an exact reason of slow work with masks. It will be completely fixed tomorrow. It's for the nearest beta releases - new audio options. We didn't translate it yet.

Thanks, Peter! We'll try again reproduce that issue with the tree of objects. Also we've sent you email. Regarding audio editing. We don't hurry with reworking of the timeline. We really faced to a number of problems and we need more time to find optimal solutions. No audio in slideshows for Mac. Please try latest version 6.5 Beta 2 and let me know about result.

AbdolReza, I'm sorry, but we had to remove MIDI support, as I wrote a year ago: - Impossible to support MIDI in video output (YouTube/Vimeo, DVD, MP4 H.264, AVI; - We can't use audio editing for MIDI. - No waveforms. - All other audio formats (MP3, WMA, OGG, WAV) have unified code, but MIDI required separate code which complicated audio development. - Different quality of MIDI playback on different PC. Unpredictable result. Probably better to convert MIDI file into MP3?

Dominique, Please try Beta 2: http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=11802&view=findpost&p=76332

PicturesToExe Deluxe 6.5 Beta 2 is available Download link: http://www.wnsoft.com/apr/picturestoexe-beta.zip (7 MB) Changes in this beta: * Fixed bugs of previous beta version: > Each call of Undo/Redo action duplicated tracks of music in Project options. > PicturesToExe crashed with an error message "29.97 is not a valid floating point value". > Slideshow in executable file crashed on a slide with specific text objects. > "Insert template" function in Comments tab of Project options didn't work. > Crashing of PicturesToExe on some broken Animated GIF image files. * Fixed bug of versions 6.0.x-6.5 Beta 1 with a wrong view of text objects in some combination of parameters in executable slideshow. For example two text objects with same words but different letter case: "TEXT" and "text". + Updated language files. Jean-Cyprien, In this beta we didn't solve the issue with performance on heavy slides with masks. Please wait for Beta 3.

AbdolReza, Thanks, I see both problems. We'll try fix it in Beta 2 or Beta 3.
