I just tried to install PC Tools Firewall Plus Free but it just freezes up my Windows XP SP3 itself (even without PicturesToExe). Finally I had to use System Recover to get work my computer back. So I was not able to check up how PicturesToExe's slideshow work with this firewall. However I'll contact to developers of PC Tools Firewall Plus software to describe them this problem.

No plans, sorry. You can only play slideshows created as a video (MP4 file, DVD, YouTube/Vimeo).

Excuse me! There were two mistakes in the code - I fixed one and missed another. Please wait for Beta 6.

Thanks! I just reproduced this error message with an icon and found the reason of this problem - it was a simple mistake in the code of the program. Beta 5 completely fixes this issue: http://www.wnsoft.com/apr/picturestoexe-beta.zip (7 MB)

Thank you, Jean-Cyprien! I just tested and see same thing - it creates EXE file without problem with this icon, but then it doesn't work. Tomorrow we'll try to figure out why this problem occurs. Please also let me know what version of Window you have installed? Lin, Peter, Windows XP supports icons with True-Color. And Windows Vista and Windows 7 support icons up to 256x256. One icon file can be a container of multiple icons with different sizes and colors.

Gérard, Thank you! I've reproduced the issue with template you have published (slideshow with the modified icon doesn't play). It will be fixed soon. Regarding first problem: - Please could you ask that user of DiaporamaForum send me the icon file which he've used? - And if I understand rightly - the problem comes when he press "Create" button in PicturesToExe? - Please ask him about version of Windows.

Lin, We plan support inserting of video clips into a slideshow. Please wait for next version(s).

We plan release version 5.7 in August-September.

We plan update the forum to the newest version 3.0.1 today. It will bring new features, new optional UI style/theme and security improvements. I also hope it will decrease spam bots.

Thank you, Gary for sending me source files of this project in ZIP archive. We'll try to investigate this issue.

Geoff, Yes, it will work.

Slideshow in an executable file for Mac temporarily doesn't support "Run slideshow" commands in Beta 3 yet.

Gary, If it possible please send all source files of your project where you can observe this problem. It seems to be a combinations of parameters and times which cause this issue. The problem definitely in PicturesToExe.

Tom, I've reproduced this issue. Will be fixed in Beta 4. Thank you.thedom, I confirm this bug. Will be fixed later. Thanks! It happened because we're adding 3D transformations for objects to the slideshow's engine. Sorry for such stupid bugs which I've missed in first beta releases.

Thanks, Henri! Rob, Thanks, we'll fix this issue.wideangle, During past 18 months when we've started work on Mac output option and future Mac's slideshow editor we also released PC's versions 5.5, 5.6 and now 5.7 Beta with a lot of new features.

Yes, of course.

Please try to with a new simple slideshow. Add several images, no music and run it again. Also slideshow require Intel based Mac and MacOSX 10.4 or later.

I'd like to reply on a question from French forum. Slideshow for Mac created in PicturesToExe Deluxe 5.7 is a folder with files. If you want to publish it in Internet, pack this folder into a ZIP archive. On Mac this folder looks as a single executable file (like EXE file in Windows). Double click on this "folder" will run the slideshow.

Thanks for discovering this problem. It is a bug in Beta 3 because we've added changes in the code of the program for future 3D transformations to objects. We'll try fix it quickly.

Tom, Same behaviour in previous version. I think it it correct, because before a show we generate random order of slides and then show them in this order. If you go back to previous slide it will be same image. Honestly both ways are right but I wouldn't complicate the program.Mike, Send me source files of this project, please. I just leaved a personal message for you through the forum. potwnc, Please see my explanations here: http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums/index....ost&p=66366 I also send you PM message.

Slideshow player for PC and Mac has much of common code. Mac version of course uses OpenGL, PC's one - DirectX 3D. Our next task is a complete slideshow editor for Mac.

Standard edition of PicturesToExe - free lifetime upgrades. Deluxe features of PicturesToExe - two years of free upgrades. After this period you can continue to use previous Deluxe version (with all working features), or use newest one which will work as Standard edition (without specific Deluxe features). Deluxe features include: - Creation of DVD-Video disc - MP4 video output - Publish on YouTube and Vimeo - Mac output. Executable file of slideshow for Mac (introduced in v5.7 Beta 3)

I just restored mistakenly deleted topic: http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=9638 And I removed a spam post which caused that minor problem from the topic.

Now using PicturesToExe Deluxe 5.7 Beta 3 you can create slideshows for Mac from PicturesToExe for Windows. Learn more: http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums/index....ost&p=66329
