  4. QUANDO SARO' GRANDE (WHEN I'LL BE OLDER)

    Hi Sam,

    Thanks for sending me the link to Diapositiv, so I could finally download your imaginative show.

    What a delightful dream and fairytale, everything came together beautifully, the colors and the constant changing back grounds, all the 3D images and a sweet dancing girl.

    You must have spend a lot of time on making this Holiday Season Show.

    Thanks for showing it.

    Merry Christmas,

    Bert

    Hi Bert,

    thank You for your kind appreciation. Yes, I spent a long time, but I cannot say how long as the making was spread on several monthes

    Marry Christmas to You and and your family

    Hi Ken,

    Thanks for your help, unfortunately it does not work.

    I right click on your link.

    Get "save target as" and click on that.

    A screen" opens and I can see the place where all my other saved EXE files are.

    I see the file name "theatre_En_exe and save as type (*.*)

    I click save and a message comes "theatre_En_exe could not be downloaded"

    Maybe it has something to do with my provider's (ATT) security

    Hi Bert,

    Please, try this link: it's a zip file Hope it works

  15. Strange Problem in PTE 7.5 and PTE 8.0 [SOLVED]

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I encountered a very strange problem in PTE 7,5 + PTE 8,0

    In the last scene of my show "QUANDO SARO'GRANDE" (when I'll be older) some transparent gif where changed just in toa green background without any image! (see picture).

    Impossible to make an exe: ther was the same green background but NO PROBLEM IN THE DVD where the full shox was correct!

    I was obliged to open the sho in PTE 6,5 to make the exe !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    See picture

    I am not going to comment on the experts 'infighting' but I thought the photography was first class and the AV presentation excellent. The images were so striking that I did not notice the length of the show but just ran it again to enjoy the sequence. With such a good selection of images 9 minutes just disappeared. I appreciate that the 'sterotype' show should be 4-6 minutes but as with all photography you can break the 'rules' and excell.

    Thanks for sharing your show.

    Hi Folks,

    I think that whatever our opinions might be, we should couch them "as opinions" rather than in some implied condescending tone regardless of our native language.

    I believe it's inappropriate to imply that because only "X" number of people have responded that it means a particular show was not well received. It could be because of the size of the download, other interests by visitors at the time or myriad reasons having absolutely nothing to do with the "quality" of the presentation.

    I believe it's inappropriate to first "apologize for" and then continue with negative criticism. If one has negative criticism, just say it without the obsequious preface. If it is intended to express a personal opinion, just be certain that this is made clear.

    Also words such as:

    only serve to express a personal opinion, yet are couched as if they were somehow coming from one with an attitude of implied superiority.

    The following is inappropriate:

    The insinuated "quality" of a photographer's equipment used to capture an image is an inappropriate comment, and even more so when the opinion, as expressed, is simply wrong. Cameras with "small chips" do not generally reveal "quality issues" in a 1024 pixel display. I would interpret it as a thinly veiled insult and I can certainly see why the OP responded as he did.

    The above is implicitly a condescending attitude as might be given by a "teacher" to a "student".... Not appropriate at all in my opinion. It's quite obvious that the images "were" made with a wide angle lens so why the unnecessary comments?":

    My point is that we all need to be aware of how our message will be received. Not only the words we use, but also the "tone" we use is important.

    The whole criticism could have been simply stated as:

    "I didn't like the length of the show and I would have made a similar one no longer than "X".

    " I don't care for animation in "my" shows and would prefer a show with less of it."

    The problem with the response is "tone." Whether intentional or accidental by virtue of one's writing style it sends a message which is likely to elicit a "knee jerk" response. Another response by another poster implies that the OP might not be as skilled as he thinks and suggests that if the OP were to enter his slideshow in certain competitions he might find out where he ranks...... That too is inappropriate in my opinion.

    Hi Lin

    I was away. I come back just to thank You for putting in evidence the actual problems.

    This is getting ridiculous! Cici posted a show here and by doing so -- based on past practices and traditions in this particular forum -- he invited comments and/or criticism. Some people liked his show, some people did not. Cici was apparently offended by the comments of those who did not. (I was one of those who did not but refrained from posting my comments as they were pretty much in line with what others said and it became obvious quickly that the OP did not want to hear any criticism.)

    As others here (and in many other forums I frequent) have pointed out, without facial expressions, tonal expressions and body language, it is often easy to take offense to the written word when the same words spoken in person might not raise emotions. In this particular situation, I suspect that native language differences may also be an issue. While it would be very nice for us all to take extensive time in crafting our postings so that they are totally unambiguous and completely polite and contain no possibility of offending somebody, that is not likely to happen. Most of us don't have that much time. We are all grownups here. My opinion is that if you post a show here in this forum, you are tacitly agreeing to accept comments -- good, bad or indifferent. Take those comments for what they are worth. Learn from them or ignore them. It's your choice. But don't try to change people's opinions. And don't get into pissing contests with those who may not share your feelings or attachments to a particular show. I don't believe any of the comments expressed here, regardless of anyone's interpretation, were petty, mean, small minded or derogatory. Nor were they politically incorrect. It did not appear that any of the comments were meant as personal attacks, either, until the OP turned them into such.

    If you (anyone who frequents here) don't want comments, post your show with something like "Here's a show I have created. Please do not comment. I like it and I don't care whether you do or not." You are sure to win many friends here. NOT. Otherwise, post it on Beechbrook and let people find it. Or just send a link via email to your friends. I believe that most of us who do post slideshows (or frequent this forum on a regular basis) learn from the comments (positive or negative) -- those made on our own shows as well as the shows of others. I would hate to see that facility go away because people decide that it is not worth the effort of commenting for fear that they will be attacked for their opinions.

    Could we just let this thing die and move on to posting slideshows and learning from each other? Thanks!

    I sincerely apologize for my profound ignorance:

    I knew about dogma considering Pope speaking "ex Cathedra" to be infallible and that every believer must submit to.

    but i did not know about dogma considering comment/criticism on Winsoft forum infallible too and that everybody must accpt without replying.

    "But don't try to change people's opinions."

    D makes a comment

    I reply

    D makes a new comment

    Please , tell me, who is trying to change peoples mind?

    Yes

    "This is getting ridiculous! "

    Anyway, I have no problem with negative comments, juste they have to respect me

    In this case I was attacked to put me down.

    When I do not agreee with smbd about smth I just say tha I do not agree ... I do not say you are old enough to ...(not th exact words , but this was the meaning)
