I just published a little updated Beta 9A: http://www.wnsoft.com/apr/apr-deluxe_beta.zip (4 MB) + Portrait photos (with rotate flag in JPEG EXIF) supported again. * Fixed bug of previous beta 9 with impossibility to set Rotation angle more than 360 degree. * Fixed bug of previous beta 9 with incorrect wave form (on the timeline) on some music files. * Fixed bug of previous beta versions where customized Startup window (of slide shows) didn't appear. p.s. other improvements will be in coming Beta 10 we're working now (most likely on the next week).

It's impossible, because we use scalable objects. And real (internal) font size dynamically generates on the fly for particular screen resolution.

Usually waveform file should be deleted after closing of PicturesToExe. In your case it didn't occur. It's a reason of this problem. PTE loaded an old waveform temp file again and again. I'll check up related code.

"Сover slide" in depending of size of image and size work as Fit Width and as Fit Height.

Another good improvement! Please excuse us - we slowly work on the program. After every version, just whole infinity of possible improvements opens!

Sorry, I don't understand the question. Zoom intended to adjust visual size of a text object.

A good question! We planned it for future versions.

Thank you, Ray! With your help we reproduced and fixed this problem. Beta 10.

We justed fixed bug with appearing of startup window. It will work in beta 10.

Thanks, Alain! But I'm afraid it's impossible at this moment. Only modern video cards can do transformation of drop shadow in realtime. And it requires vastly modify PTE. So I leaved your idea for future.

I'll prepare special test which will help to find reason of this problem.

Stephane, I'm very amazed by your excellent work! And I'm happy that our new PicturesToExe 5 can be used for such dynamic slide shows almost video.

Tom, It's a bug, of course. We'll fix it in beta 10 very soon. As a temporal solution, please rotate an image visually. Click near to a corner of an image and rotate it several laps as you need.

We've added support of rotated images to future beta 10

Al, Thanks, but I see startup window, although it's a large image and OK button below border of the screen.

Please create EXE file and send me please (with one slide and activated startup window). I still can't reproduce this problem.

Al, It's activated and should work (if no bugs).

I just sent you PM message.

Thank you, I also thought about this idea. Maybe later in next versions. I added it to my TODO list. The most serious problem in user interface. I would not complicate view of Visual editor.

I'm afraid it difficult to do. In v5.00 all that you see on a slide - objects: main image, text comment.

Thanks, I've added your suggestion to my TODO list. But it can be added in next versions only.

Dave, Sorry, I was not able to reproduce this problem. Please send me this EXE file and .pte project file.

I thought about this feature yesterday. We'll try to make it possible in nearest versions.

Thanks for your responses! Peter, If you use unique and rare text font you need to Rasterize a text to PNG. Jim, Rotation function is not fully realized in beta 9.

Beta 9 ready.
