Tom, Thanks, currently Emoji are not supported by PTE. We'll try to add their support in future version.

Wow, looks impressive!

Tom, This is done in PTE 10 Beta 23. For Rectangle objects in the Properties tab.

Hi All, Hi Mark, Many thanks for your initiative!

Hi, Yes, you need to set 1920 x 1080 to correctly create MP4 video.

Hi Jeff, I'm very sorry to hear about your health problems. We set 30-39 USD for the upgrade to a new version of PTE 8 & PTE 9 five years ago (prices for PTE 10 will be same). We cannot survive with old prices. Competition is very strong now, users are satisfied with existing products/versions, many online services and mobile apps for making slideshows. Probably you know that our nearest competitor Photodex (USA) is having serious financial problems and they will stop any sales and business activity soon according recent rumors. Prices for PTE always were cheaper than prices of our competitors - now 30-39 USD for the upgrade and 69-139 USD for the full version. Compare with Proshow prices: 45-90 USD for the small upgrade and 69-250 USD for the full version. Let me hope that 39 USD for the upgrade to a good new version as PTE 10 is a deserving purchase. If you compare with online service like Animoto, where you have to pay at least 396 USD every year to make Full HD video. And with PTE 10 you can create 4K video and use the app many years. I understand your difficult situation and your help for PTE earlier, and I sent you a free license for PTE 10. Please check your personal message. Good luck,

Gary, I added to my TODO list. But it's not so easy to implement it. Because of parent-child hiearchy of objects and 3D transformations. Definitely not in PTE 10. However I like this idea.

Barry, It's a good suggestion. But we stopped adding new features/functions to finish PTE 10. I added your idea to my TODO list.

Hi, We suggest you try a new PicturesToExe 10 Beta. Public Beta testing began in May and current Beta version is stable and not far from the final version. You can install new Beta and keep your existing version together. Dark mode 64-bit app Audio waveforms in the Objects and Animation editor. FLAC and M4A audio support. Tools in Timeline view: Split audio clip, Duplicate audio clip, Separate audio from video clip, Trim Video. GPU acceleration for playback of video clips and video encoding. More details about new features: https://www.picturestoexe.com/forums/topic/21305-picturestoexe-10-beta-19/

Did you notice more fast work of the Timeline, Slide list and File list in PTE 10? Especially scrolling.

PTE 10 also supports Ctrl+Shift+S for Save As command in the O&A editor.

Hi, When you work in the Objects and animation editor you can click Tools button and choose "Undo All Changes" from a popup menu. This command will revert all changes in current session of O&A editor. Or use Undo/Redo commands for one step backward/forward. In future PTE 10 you can press Ctrl+S hotkey to save a project in O&A editor. Also in any version of PTE you can enable Auto Save feature in the Preferences (main menu > Settings > Preferences). It works even in the O&A editor.

Glad that you solved this problem. Probably these network drives were disconnected and Explorer could see them. I observed it several times.

Hi, This problem occurs if Controlled Folder Access was turned on in Window 10. More info here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/threat-protection/windows-defender-exploit-guard/enable-controlled-folders-exploit-guard This feature prohibits apps do any changes in certain folders (Desktop, My documents, etc). In fact app cannot work correctly with these limitations. You need to turn off Controlled Folder Access, or add PTE (PicturesToExe.exe application) to the list of trusted apps manually.

Hi, It's strange problem, because PicturesToExe always supported mapped network drives. Can you map a network drive again using the following instruction: https://www.dummies.com/computers/pcs/mapping-a-network-drive-on-your-windows-10-pc/ Also try to restart PicturesToExe when you re-mapped networked drives. Future PTE 10 will support directly network folders.

Thanks, Indeed it's my omission, because I didn't send a new text to Gerard Desroches for the translation. He just sent me a new file for next Beta.

In PTE 10 Beta 18 you can save or reset font settings for a Text object in the Objects and animation editor. See "Save/reset font" link in the Properties tab for a Text object.

Added in PTE 10 Beta.

Dave, I saw a bright spot in the middle of my monitor. So I managed to draw a correcting grayscale mask to compensate this defect. The result was good.

How good uniformity of backlight in your monitor? My Dell U2417H has a more bright area at centre of a screen. I wrote a small utility which corrects uniformity of backlight by applying a masking layer above all windows. I used Photoshop create this grayscale mask in BMP file. I use this utility more than 2 years. It works in all apps including PTE excluding fullscreen 3D games.

Mur, This command (or Ins hot key) moves next slide (with it's transition) to current cursor position. How it can be used: 1. Set a very long duration for 1st slide (say 20 minutes). 2. Click Play button. 3. When you hear soundtrack you can press Ins key to add points of slides (transitions) according your music. P.S. I moved your topic to the General Discussions, because this feature feature covers all previous versions of PTE.

Done in PTE 10 Beta 15:

Ron, Probably you need to disable automatic slide advancing? Set in the Project Options > Control tab > "Wait for a key press to show next slide". Or set similar option in the Slide options individually for every slide.

Hi, Try the following: 1. Right-click the PixBuilder shortcut and select "Properties". 2. Switch to the "Compatibility" tab, then click the "Change high DPI settings" button. 3. Tick the box under "High DPI scaling override", then change the option from Application to System. This will force PixBuilder to use the Windows 10 display scaling setting. 4. Confirm the changes by clicking "OK". Relaunch the PixBuilder application and the UI should now be scaled on the 4k / High DPI monitor.

Added in PTE 10 Beta. FLAC and M4A.
