I very apologize about this incident!
Of course, we have full backup, but latest dated by May 22, 2006.
p.s. it seems that only web site with simple HTML files can't be hacked...
-
Somebody found access to the forum and placed pinned message with request for money to support of this forum. This message was signed as admin1.
Please ignore such requests!
I don't know what scoundrel could hack the forum and did such thing.
We installed all latest updates for the forum, and I'll speak with Invision Board support about this incident.

Robert,
Theoretically it possible to use standard open dialog (as now) or show FileView (as "Insert slide" button in "Customize synchronization" window).
Let leave this question on a month. We need time to realized other promissed functions.
-
Yes, this option in the next beta.
-
It happens because in this nice show almost all images has mode "Original size". It's potentially dangerous option, as I wrote earlier. And this mode must be used only for stand alone main image (if it really necessary to have no resizing) and never for animated objects.
-
To improve and make more easier work with masks, backgrounds I added special parameter for an object - "Transparent for Click". With this option object can't choosed, dragged, or rotated visually. Only if you select object via List of Objects. So mask which cover entire slide will not be problem to work with other objects.
-
In v5.00 hyperlinks will work in Preview mode.
-
I plan to improve these moments in Visual editor and make work with multiple objects more easier.

Thank you for good news! We plan to use idea tested in PteShow_H variant in the next beta #3.
It seems that there is an essential difference between PCI and AGP. Although PCI video cards almost not presented now.
Do monitor settings, such as screen refresh rate of 60 Hertz to 85 Hertz make any difference as to how PTE 5 may appear?With good video card no difference. For example, ATI Radeon 9600 Pro theoretically can show 300 frames per second. GeForce 6800 more than 400 frames per second. So even 85 FPS is simple task for video card.

Robert,
I just thought why 780 Mhz, it's not standard CPU frequency?
-
Nick,
It's very strange problem.
I just sent you personal message. Please reply me.

In case of NVIDIA video card we disable antialiasing even, if antialiasing enabled globally. NVIDIA gives this ability.
In case of ATI, antialiasing doesn't affect on quality and sharpness of picture.
So both NVIDIA and ATI no problem with quality of picture.
-
If PteShow_H variant even on second loop has problem with smoothness, I suppose that 700 MHz CPU or PCI's video card are not enough for ideally smooth playback.
Unfortunately, mt likely problem in PCI based video card. AGP much faster and probably doesn't disturb to work of slide-show when new slides load.
I have second PC at my home with 900 Mhz P3 Celeron and AGP ATI Radeon 9600XT 128 MB which works fine.

Not only you, I also don't understand how this animation works, although I see all objects

Interesting article about new graphical format from Microsoft.
"One of the biggest reasons people upgrade their PCs is digital photos", said Bill Crow, program manager for Windows Media Photohttp://news.com.com/Microsoft+shows+off+JP...ml?tag=nefd.top
p.s. I a little bit afraid about color space in this WMP format. Many people doesn't like even sRGB format, but as I tested similar Windows Media Video (WMV) format strongly compresses sRGB color space of images and we see vastly faded colors. Try to encode some slide-show AVI video with Windows Media Encoder to WMV and you will see this problem. Let me wish good luck to Windows Media Photo and with hope that they will solve all these problems.

Robert,
We plan to use improvement realized in PteShow_H variant for beta #3.
So it will vastly help and antivirus/some other programs in working in background will not disturb to work of slide-show.
Question.
Try to wait for second loop of PteShow_H variant (when first slide will be shown again). Will at this second loop stutters occur?
Try to install latest drivers from NVIDIA web site - www.nvidia.com

Thanks for sending me project files!
With "Hold time points" enabled, Slide list works exactly as in v4.48 with "Synchronize slideshow to music". If you insert new slide in Slide list, all keypoints on timeline will be hold. In this mode, you need in exact synchronization of slides to music, slides can be any, but they must be exactly shown at specified time on the timeline.
Without "Holf time points", Slide list works as usual non-synchronized project in v4.48. As you noticed, inserted slide to Slide list, will has globally set value. So two modes work with Slide list.
In fact all slide-shows in v5.00 always synchronized (it's necessary
because of Pan/Zoom effects), but authors need to have two options:
- Exact time points locked on the timeline - primary goal. Any slides,
not particular, but with exactly synchronized to some moments in music.
(Sorting of such slides in the Slide list will not affect to
keypoints on the Timeline)
- And when every particular slide should be shown specified duration (e.g. 4 seconds)
For author no difference - they can be shown in any order, but every slide with specified duration.
(Sorting of such slides will affect on keypoints, but duration of every slide will be same.)
p.s. specially for fast show of slides (simulation of video) when every slide should be shown and not skipped we'll add special option.
-
In fact, motion paths already exists in the code of v5.00, but it's much more difficult to realize them in Visual editor. So I think this feature will be available in v5.1

Robert,
I have idea and suggestion:
1) First of all, please compare two variants of PteShow demo on that PC:
http://www.wnsoft.com/test/PteShow_H.zip
http://www.wnsoft.com/apr/show/PteShow.zip
(as I wrote earlier probably we'll find solution even for highly loaded PCs)
2) After this, start Task Manager, choose second "Processes" tab and look at "CPU" column, which program will cause such high CPU loading?
-
This error with timeline will be fixed in the next beta #3.
Try to use 2x2 JPEG image or 1x1 BMP.
-
Dave,
Please create this test project and did all steps (except of inserting new slide on last step). Save it and send to me. Will this problem occurs if you close/start PTE with this project and try to do this last step?
p.s. I just sent you personal message via forum.
-
Dave,
Thank you for your patience in explanation me! I believe that it should be some bug in current beta. But I a little don't understand "Slide 1: Change time to 30 seconds and add keypoints at zero 1.5 seconds and 30 seconds." instruction.
Please say me do have enabled option "Auto adding of new transition points for new slide" ("Customize Synchronization" window, menu via "View" button) ?
May I suggest you to create video record?
Please download free Microsoft Media Encoder program:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsme...er/default.mspx (9 MB)
It will ask you what you want to do and choose "Capture screen", select "Specific window" (PicturesToExe should be already started) and choose PicturesToExe from a list. Now start record and reproduce all steps you described me. Then send produced (about 2 MB) file to me int_support (replace to @) wnsoft.com
Thanks in advance!

I recently fixed this my stupid bug in v5.00.
Please wait for beta #3
video card

Patrick,
What can you suggest?
Final v5.00 will have two engines - CPU based for simple slide-shows which work on all PCs and slide-show with Pan/Zoom for PC with modern video cards.
For Pan/Zoom we use maximal quality of picture and don't limit real picture to 720x576 as some does.
I'm not magician, please understand. I do all that I can.
