Hello, That delay was also present in the previous version. The hard drive is an NVMe M.2 SSD. Regarding Controlled Folder Access, I can't tell you how it is, since I have Defender disabled and I use ESET instead. It's funny, I tried moving the transitions to another hard drive, and when I made that change, the Transitions folder remained in the C:\Users\user\Documents\PicturesToExe\Styles and Transitions folder. Now I've reconfigured the transitions in the Documents folder, and the Transitions folder has remained on the other hard drive. The files are transferred, but only that folder remains, as if it were blocked. It's true that Windows 11 sets all folders to read-only, but it moves the rest of the folders, except for the transitions folder. With Defender disabled, I don't know if changing “Controlled folder access” from PowerShell would work.

With the antivirus disabled, the same thing happens. From the “Slide Options” button, when you click “OK,” there is a delay when closing the window, and the same thing happens when you click “Cancel.” Once the window is closed, you can use other slides. However, from the “Options” button, the opposite occurs. When you click the ‘OK’ and “Cancel” buttons, the window closes quickly, but once the window is closed, you cannot use other slides or do anything else, as if the program were frozen. To measure the time it takes, I would say that: From the “Slide Options” button, it takes 8 seconds for the window to close. From the “Options” button, it closes quickly, but it is blocked for 8 seconds. I know it's strange, because I could think it might be a graphics card problem, but if that were the problem, the same thing would happen with the Slide Styles window, and that window closes quickly.

Hello, the antivirus I use is ESET. After seeing this comment, I configured it so that it does not scan those folders, and it still does the same thing. I reconfigured the transitions in C:\ and the window closes a little faster, but there is still a noticeable delay. I do not use the cloud with PTE, nor do I use the cloud with any other program.

Hello, I could start by answering your last question, but to answer your first question, yes, the styles and transitions folder is empty. And no, to answer your second question, I don't use any services on the new one. And it seems that for now, moving the Styles and Transitions folder to another hard drive has worked, as the window closes properly. But I have to tell you something curious: the PTE program moves all the folders from one drive to another (from C: to K:), and it has only left one empty folder on the C: drive, the Transitions folder. I don't know why it couldn't cut and paste that folder.

Yes, I restart Windows every day. This isn't new; it's been happening for a while. However, there's no problem with the styles window; it closes fine.

Hi Igor, I saw your message because I had the browser open with the page, as I don't receive email notifications for new replies. With the Options window, there is no delay when closing it, but I've noticed that time is also lost. I mean, the window closes, but then the application remains blocked for a while. In the following video, you'll see that the window closes when I apply a transition, but then I click on the other slides, and it doesn't show the slide. It doesn't do anything for a while; it's like it's frozen. I've also tried opening the Options window, and I haven't applied any transitions, but it still leaves the program frozen for a moment. As for the PicturesToExe folder, I don't have anything there because it's newly installed and doesn't have any extra transitions installed. I used to have some from colleagues installed, but I thought some of them might be bad and causing problems, so I uninstalled them and reinstalled only the transitions that come with the program by default.

Hello, I am testing version 11.0.20 Build 1, and I have noticed that when you are in the Transitions window, if you select a transition and click the OK button, the window takes a long time to close. On the other hand, the Styles window closes immediately after clicking the button. Why might this be? Thank you. Transitions Window.mp4

Hello, I have been trying, and I think it is not a good idea to do it as you say, apart from wasting a lot of time duplicating all the transitions, having all duplicated involves double the weight, and I think the application will end up being heavier to deal with twice as much information, on the other hand, the list of categories is much larger to have so many styles, imagine you want to have a category with Christmas styles, you had to have Christmas styles, plus the category Christmas styles with 1 photo, then another for 2 photos, etc, etc.. I think it is not very practical, I still think that having a window where we can choose if we want to show us styles for 1 photo, for 2 photos, etc, would be the best option.

Yes, but where I am saying is in the "Objects and Animation" window, when you are in this window and click close, the changes are saved, and you may not want them to be saved. I think it would be nice to have the possibility to save the changes, or not.

And have two buttons, "Close" and "Save", Close, which closes the window without saving the changes, and Save, which saves the changes made on that slide. Regardless of the fact that the changes are saved automatically "if so configured" when you are in the main window.

Hello, it is deactivated, only the "Auto-Recover" option is checked.

Hello, is there any way to configure the "Objects and Animation" section so that the changes are not saved automatically, but saved when you want to save them. Thank you.

In the Styles and Transitions window, when working with a large amount, I miss that when pressing on the keyboard for example the C key, it takes you to the first item in the list that begins with the letter C, either when the cursor is in the Categories section, or in the list of styles/transitions. Another option that I see that could be interesting to have, is when the cursor is selecting a category or transition/style, if we press the F2 key, it could give the option to open the "Rename" dialog box. I don't know if these options are already included with another key combination to be able to do these tasks. Thank you.

Hi, I am looking at the slide options, the effects section, and I see that this section can be growing with different categories, with lots of effects, I think having a search engine, could help a lot, I do not know if this would be possible. Or is there a way to search for a certain transition, so you don't have to go through the different categories until you find it? Best regards.

Ok, I thought that only the name of the style would be duplicated, not all the content, because in this case the problem I see is that it doubles the weight of the styles, for example, if the folder "Slide Styles" has a weight of 4 Gb, when duplicating the styles, we would have a weight of 8 Gb, I suppose that PTE would be heavier to work with. P.S. sorry if it is not understood, I use a translator.

Yes, thank you davegee, it is clearer, but with that what is achieved is to change the style to another category, it does not create a duplicate of the style, in order to have one in its original category, and another in the category "2 images". I had understood you, that this process was to duplicate the style. I don't know if this is a good idea, it can be done, but it is a long work, I think that having an option to select different listings with different blocks of images is more practical and it would save a lot of time in searching for a certain style.

You can't create a category, well I don't see that option. I can only import a style and change the name of that category, and if I can then change a style to that category, but it does not stay in both places, it goes from one category to another. When you have many styles, this work becomes heavy, and you can not control it well, it is a lot of time that is lost, I see it better to have an option that shows a list with the number of images. And although it has nothing to do with the title of the post, I also think that a text editor with formatting to be able to put text in the images, would be good.

Hello, is there any way to show the styles that have for example 2 images? I don't know if there is a possibility to have this option, I think it can save time, and not having to go looking through the different categories. Thank you.
