Yes, I remeber about this idea with a border for an image object. Also in v5.7 we've added "Edge antialiasing" option for Rectangle objects (like currently for Image objects). It is adaptive/dynamic antialiasing which works perfectly for any Zoom values.

Thanks. It is logical problem and we're thinking on this issue now. The solution will be in the next version 5.7.

Deleted.

Changes in version 5.6.4 * Fixed bug with height of items in playlist of Music tab of Project option if you use high DPI screen mode. * Fixed several minor bugs.

We will add AngleX and AngleY transformations for objects in v5.7 or 5.8

Brian, Usually this rare problem occurs because of damaged drivers of video card. Please install newest version from Windows Update or website of NVIDIA/AMD.

Ray, Yes, I spoke about realtime conversion when we create EXE file and then watch this slideshow. EXE file contains JPEG images with color profiles and conversion to sRGB have a place before output to display/projector. As I wrote it doubles time of loading of images - so I don't know should we add such realtime conversion or not. Concerning video output. DirectX (Direct3D) can operates only with sRGB color space (without color profiles). For this reason we load images in sRGB format to video card and then receive sRGB final picture. This picture will be sent in sRGB format if you use virtual PTE Video codec in AVI. Or converted to YUV color space by PicturesToExe if you choose DVD/MP4/Youtube/Vimeo output.

We can add support of extended RGB JPEG images with embedded color profile. The code is ready, but processing of such image almost doubles time of loading when you watch slideshow. At final stage we still have to operate with sRGB image intended for displays and projectors. Probably better to use graphical editor for such converting?

Xaver, PicturesToExe uses DirectSound audio interface of Windows since v5.00. Paul, PicturesToExe outputs music and sound in stereo mode (2.0) and then it depends on settings of your audio card or settings of audio receiver how they handle stereo audio streams. For example, my integrated Realtek sound card at home duplicates front two channels to rear channels when I using analogue cable connection. Also my computer connected to Harman-Kardon audio receiver by optical cable and this Realtek sound card outputs 2.0 audio stream which Harman-Kardon converts to Logic 7 5.1 audio channels.

Brian, We'll try reproduce this issue and fix it soon. Thanks.

Ron, 1) It was a virtual AVI file? 2) What version of Windows you use? 3) Did you experience the same problem with MP4 video output (new feature of v5.6) ? 4) Please could you tell more - how it worked before this issue with same DEP option?

Dave, It is impossible to set true zero size for several reasons (for example to avoid errors like "division by zero"). So you can set only 0.001. Tom, We think it is not a bug. Imagine a starship which flies away from you to space. Initially its visual size reduces very quickly and then it stays as a dot for very long time. Using "Perspective correction" option we simulate true speed of movement of an object in 3D space.

Changes in v5.6.3 (May 5, 2009) http://www.wnsoft.com/download.htm * Fixed bug of v5.6.x with a updating of a cursor on the timeline when you move slider in MiniPlayer. * Updated French language file. * Minor changes.

We will add support of MP4 music files (without DRM protection) in the nearest versions.

Thanks, Tom. Barry, We hope in v5.7. It is in my TODO list. Please use "Ideas and suggestions" sub-forum for further discussions.

Tom, Yes, it is a bug which appeared in v5.6.0 Please try v5.6.3 Beta which contains only this fix: http://www.wnsoft.com/apr/picturestoexe-setup-beta.zip It is a logical problem. The caption is linked with central position of a button. Adding of a frame will complicate things. I need to think more about this issue. I've added this issue to my TODO list for v5.7 Thanks.

Tom, I'll check up on Monday. Thanks again!

KDJ, Firstly I'm very sorry and apologize that you didn't receive any response nor from me nor from our support person on your request regarding that projector's issue! The most likely your request was forwarded to my email address and I didn't reply yet. For the most difficult technical problems I'm the only one person in our company who can solve it. Here is our problem which I'm trying to resolve. With the forum we receive the great help of this community and every new user quickly gets all help on his request. Regarding Canon SX50 issue. As written above and I've read from here http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/archive/ind...573660-p-3.html it is a hardware problem of this projector and many users experience this problem (not only users of PicturesToExe). The next model - SX60 doesn't have this issue anymore. - Several users of SX50 recommended set 50Hz (instead of 60Hz) which fixes the problem. I've learned this advice from AVSForum. Did you try to set 50Hz using DVI connection to the projector? Please note that you need DVI digital connection, because VGA connection doesn't allow to utilize 50Hz. Please let me know about result. - If you are using Windows XP, did you try to modify a project to run slideshow in a windowed mode? Set same width/height size and no border option to simulate fullscreen. Will it give a better visual result? - We can try to display picture every second frame - simulate 30Hz at 60Hz of real frame rate. Even if it will help, smoothness of show for Pan/Zoom effect will not be enough. Sadly to say but I'm doubt that we can find a good software fix for PicturesToExe if Canon is not able to fix the problem in a firmware update.

Thanks, Tom. I confirm this visual bug. It will be fixed in the next update (v5.6.3).

As I know this issue happens because of damaged or incorrectly encoded MP3 music file. If you temporarily convert MP3 to WAV and this problem doesn't appear it will confirm that reason in MP3 file.

Updated version 5.6.2: http://www.wnsoft.com/apr/picturestoexe-setup.zip Changes in version 5.6.2 * Fixed two bugs (v5.6.x) with appearing of error messages in the main program of PicturesToExe and visual defects arround a slide if slideshow started under Windows XP/2000 with old version of DirectX 8.1 or earlier. Although these problems will not occur, to get hardware acceleration DirectX 9.0 or higher is required (DirectX 9.0 already included to Windows Vista and Windows XP with Service Pack 2 or 3). * Fixed issue (v5.6.x) with incompatibility of created slideshows (EXE files) with Windows 98/Me. * Fixed bug with Run application command on show of a slide. * Fixed olg bug (v5.00-v5.6.0) when "Open Web page" action for an object converted symbols of URL to lower case.

Thank you!

v5.6.2. fixes this problem: http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums/index....ost&p=63853

I've updated updated version which fixes the problem with "Open Web page" action. http://www.wnsoft.com/apr/picturestoexe-setup-beta.zip * Fixed olg bug (v5.00-v5.6.0) when "Open Web page" action for an object converted symbols of URL to lower case.

Xaver, Thanks, we've reproduced this bug now, we'll publish updated v5.6.2 very soon.
