Ron, Sorry, we did stupid mistake. All should works now. Thanks! Please download again file and check up again for those problems you've described.

Lin, Yes, I confirm this visual problem. But we found, values of "venus" object are not equal on second lap as were on first lap at same places. Probably you did a mistake in copying values? I a little modified your porject: removed second lap and duplicated slide: http://www.wnsoft.com/test/venus_Aug28-2006_17-31-37.zip and animation may continue so long as you wish. p.s. we plan to add auto cycling in next versions of PicturesToExe to make continuous animation so long as you wish.

I displayed Position (Time) as in Customize synchronization window. Almost exactly same view and interface. I hope the problem is solved now.

Ron, Please try this new test beta: http://www.wnsoft.com/test/pte500_b6_pre1.zip Unpack to a new folder and run apr.exe file Now slideshow will work when "Use music" unchecked. Thanks that your found this problem! p.s. please don't use it as main beta, because it's not fully ready.

Cor, please write me to int_support@ [antispam] wnsoft.com We'll include latest version of the language file to the next beta of v5.00

Thanks, we're working now on solving this problem.

Yes, it is exactly same problem - horizontal or vertical thin line It's not our bug, as I've found today, but I have to to find some solution for it. Please remind me: 1) What video card you have installed? 2) Do you have one or two displays connected?

I didn't want to work today, but I watched some slideshows on my projector and I at last reproduced bug with possible 1 pixel light line at top of screen. This bug will be fixed in the next beta. I think we didn't enough test the program on dual monitor configurations.

Try to run PicturesToExe v4.48 on this PC, open some project and then press "Video" button in main window of PicturesToExe. Close all running PicturesToExe. And try again with PicturesToExe v5.00 beta. Will it work now? p.s. we plan to vastly improve all these moments in the nearest future.

Perfect PC! But do you really need 6 hard discs? Probably it better install one-two newest 700 GB Seagate. We tested PicturesToExe v4.48 and v5.00 beta under Windows XP 64 bit, Windows Vista 32 bit beta 2 and Windows Vista 64 bit beta 2. PicturesToExe works fine there and created slide shows, too.

Jill, Unfortunately it's not a bug. "Mosaic" effect with a great number of particles really works slower now with hardware video acceleration. Because when you set 500 x 500 it means that video card will draw 500 000 triangles per frame. It's more than in any modern 3D game. (Alternate solution - using of Pixel Shaders 2.0 is not impossible for this effect, on my opinion. It more real with Pixel Shaders 3.0, but their supports exists only in latest video cards.) So Mosaic with 500 x 500 can be realized only via second graphical engine which will be ready in the next beta releases of v5.00 And it will work so smooth as in previous v4.48

Cool! p.s. Most likely not in v5.00, it scheduled for the future.

I suppose we will finish the code for the exact synchronization of music in the next beta 6.

Why you changed this value? I'm really interesting. I consider that it's dangerous option (may give unexpected results). Fortunately all such options are removed at all in Windows Vista.

No, we did it specially to make more reliable code of effects. Because if allows Quick transition in global effects, a duration of transition effect will vary (because this effect has no duration at all). But if you need to globally set Quick transition for all slides, just uncheck "Enable transition effects" option.

Ron, Thank you, I confirm this bug. It will be fixed in the next beta 6.

Dominique, Your sample project works fine on my PC. But probably I'll fix this problem you've described soon, right now I'm working on more exact timer counter.

Dominique, About problem with angle like -0,5° you've found. A very funny bug! Thank you, we just fixed it. We plan to add text objects and "Run external application" function in the next betas. Currently we're working on finalizing of music modes/synchronization and second CPU based graphical engine. I understand that you need these functions and we'll try to implement them ASAP. We'll try to realize it in next betas.New Navigation bar will appear soon in beta #7 or so.

If you set 30 days it means individual 30 days for every PC. So it will work on another PC. But if you set up to some date, slide show will not work on all PCs when expired.

Limitation for 30 days starts when EXE file started first time on particular PC. After 30 days when user see messages that it doesn't work more, this slide show will not work any more even if sets more earlier date in Windows. But, of course, you know that there is no absolute protection. And experienced programmer/hacker may breaks any protection.

I'm sorry about this problem! I asked my colleague to send you again the registration key several hours ago. Let me know if it still didn't arrive. I'm at home now and can't open your first emails. Please say me your Order ID and I'll try to manually send you the key. Our registration system sends email with the registration key during several minutes after an order. But some email programs, mail severs of ISP, or antispam program/filters lock attachment and this letter arrives broken.

John, Please send me .pte project file of this project, it will help me to find and fix this problem. Also try latest beta 5, probably it may helps.

Dominique, I'll reply on your letter tomorrow!

Thanks! p.s. Jean-Pierre, please say me, did you receive my reply on your questions about lines/PNG/GIF in objects?
