First of all, thank you very much for your very detailed answer. My responses are in bold. 1. No, there is no way to "drag and drop" a new layer, but it's even easier. Just click on the layer you wish to insert under (click on the "image" in the list on your right in the Objects and Animation View" - then right click your mouse then choose "add" from the drop down menu, then from the associated window choose "image." Negotiate the folder structure to your file and double click your file Depending on which image (the main or anchor image is at the top of the list) you highlight, that's where the new image will end up. I knew but I think it's a little bit painfull. Lot of clic and time consuming. The main problem with this solution is that you can't have the thumbnail view by default (if you have a solution to set it by default, I'm ready to pay you a lot ! ) The drag and drop solution would be quicker, don't you think ? 2. No, but what you do is either right click on the selected object (image) within the green rectangle where you see the image itself or better right click on the word "image" at the level it is presently then choose "order" and you can bring the object to the front, back or up and down a level at a time with a click of the mouse. Yes, it's the only solution but again painfull (i know I'm a pain too ! Once again, don't you think the drag and drop solution would be quicker ? 3. I'm not completely clear on your question, but if you mean can you "walk through" the movements from the Objects and Animation window, the answer is yes. You use the little blue arrow on the time line and slide it forward or backward and you can see all the actual actions as it advances or regresses along the time line. Yes, i meant "walk through" but in the main window. Would be great if you could have the same little blue arrow in the slide list to have a manuel preview of several slides. But it seems it's not implemented (yet ? 4. Yes you can change from one slide to the next forward or back by clicking on the little forward and back arrows up on the very top right of your screen just under the white "X" in the little red box. Great !!! I was so excited I didn't see it. 5. These are for features not yet implemented in the beta version. Do you know if it's to have more control on effets (linear/acceletaring/decceleating/smooth option). If it's the case, it would be awesome ! 6. Yes but you need to make the blank (black, white, green, whatever) slide in your graphics or photo software then save them to a folder which you can access. Once you have a "collection" of these you can choose them like any other image. There is no automated way to "create" the image via the software. Perhaps in a later version or the release. It would be a nice feature but not essential. 7. Rename an object in the timeline.... yes, click on the one you wish to rename the click the "Properties" tab and you will see "image" or "image1" - rename as you see fit. Didn't see it. Thanks. 8. I don't believe there is any way to see the transition effect without using the preview, but you can "preview" from any position by clicking the icon located between the "Preview" and "Project Options" tabs. Or with right-clic on a selected slide. It would be great if you could watch the preview in the picture slide (from my point of view, you don't need full screen all the time). 9. You can display the display time and transition effect (only two transition effects "fade in fade out and circle" are presently implemented in the beta" by clicking on the "Slide" then using the "Main" tab to see or change the time and the "Effect" tab to see or change the transition and timing of the transition. Too bad you can't change those parameters directly in the slide list. 10. From the "Screen" tab in the "Project Options" screen you have a choice of five different aspect rations or you can set custom. Just great !!! 11. The output resolution is determined by the actual resolution of the images you use for the slideshow in terms of an executable file. For the not yet implemented AVI creation you will have choices. Any idea when the avi creation will be implemented ? 12. You have captions now, but to use fancy text you need to create your text in a graphics editor which allows transparent background GIF or preferably PNG format. If you have no software to do this, I would recommend PiXBuilder (right here at Wnsoft). If you already have PhotoShop it's VERY easy to do. If you don't know how to do this let us know and we will direct you to instructions. It takes only seconds and you can have some seriously powerful text effects. May be I'm wrong but the add Text feature is not implemented yet. Neither "add hyperlink", neither "add button"? Btw, do you know what is the purpose of "add frame" (no effect for instance) ??? Thanks again for your answers !
