Richard, Markus, Please try this Beta 12 MusicTest2 http://www.wnsoft.com/test/apr-deluxe_beta12_musictest2.zip (2 MB) It should solve problem with synchronization.

We didn't realize adjusting of text color for highlighted and pressed states. Is it necessary to implement?

Simon, I'm sorry about this problem with reg. key! A couple days ago we had a problem with key server. I just sent you your registration key.

Howard, Ron, Just choose a slide, click "Objects and animation" button and press Delete button - it will delete main image and slide will be blank.

Yes, PTE doesn't support MP3 Pro and may play it with not maximal quality, because MP3 Pro format created with back partial compatibility with old MP3 players. But in this case it's another problem. Problem with synchronization happens because some sound card play music a little faster or a little slowely (on 3 seconds faster every 5 minutes of playback). It's a reason of this problem. We'll try to find some solution.

By the way, fully rewritten slide show engine (EXE) of v5.00 - 275 KB (instead of 254 KB of v4.48) Only on 20 KB larger. All included to 275 KB - built-in support of JPEG, built-in MP3 player, built-in PNG, GIF, two graphical engines (Direct 3D and CPU based engines). Also Aleksey and Pavel created compact and small libraries of code - result of several year's work.

Thanks! We'll try to solve this problem in Beta 12.

I just uploaded updated Beta 11A: + Added "Desktop" link in file tree (PicturesToExe and VideoBuilder). * Fixed bug with background music when "Stop after last slide" option choosed. * Fixed bug when PicturesToExe didn't accepted Deluxe registration key. * Fixed bug when "Hide Navigation bar at startup" always was enabled even if uncheck it.

Markus, Richard, 1) Please download and run this special music test: http://www.wnsoft.com/test/MusicTest1.zip (260 KB) Open that MP3 file which used in your slide show and play it during 5 minutes. Close utility and please send me generated log file. 2) Also what parameters of your MP3 file? 16 bit, Stereo, 44,1 KHz? 3) I just prepared special build of PicturesToExe: http://www.wnsoft.com/test/apr-deluxe_musictest.zip (2 MB) Will it solve problem with synchronization? Please use this beta only for this test, it's test version.

Alain, 1) - Template is not an usual project. So if you want you can adjust global folder where all templates will be stored. - Also of course PTE asks you save the project, because you save template, but didn't saved project - it's different projects now. 2 and 3) It's necessary to update modified template via Ctrl+T. It will suggest existing name of this template and ask to replace old template. Click Yes, and template will be updated.

Will be added to Beta 11A

Markus, Richard, I just sent personal messages via forum, please read it.

Markus, Richard, Did you set checked "Synchronize music and slide" option in Main tab of Project options?

This option can be useful when you have a button and action to run some another EXE application. Slide show will wait when you come back again.

I just found this bug with repeating of music if "Stop after show" option choosed. Will fix in next beta. Set "Synchronize music and slides" option and Preview of a slide will work as you want - music will start from this slide.

I'm grateful to members of our forum who said me many times about this necessary improvements of the forum

Nick, Sean, I just sent you reg. key. P.S. Again I would like to ask you excuse us for this problem!

Yes, registration server on RegNow website crashed. I just wrote them about it. I apologize for this unpleasant problem! We'll send keys manually today-tomorrow.

Beta 11 today or tomorrow.

This problem happens on ATI video cards with calibrated display. It's a bug in ATI drivers for Windows XP. Their drivers for Windows Vista already fixed this problem. I wrote to ATI and they promissed fix it Windows XP, too. The only current solution - disable "Hardware acceleration" option in Screen tab of Project options.

- Sounds comments in Customize synchronization window Scheduled for v5.1
