Greetings Maureen, Needless to say, great images. It's the kind of trip I'd like to make. But I have a question concerning the 'production' of the show. It looks like the durations of the images are the same as the durations of the fade transition. I'd like to see more of the image and less of the fade transition's duration. During the transitions, they seem like about 3 seconds, my eyes get tired getting through that long fade. It is relatively so long, it sort of hurts my eyes. Then I only see the image for about 3 seconds. Maybe it is just me, but long fade transitions make want to hit the right-mouse button just to get to the next image. I have seen the long transitions done in other people's shows and it just is difficult on my eyes. Just my two-cents. Great images but the long transitions are hard on my eyes. I'd reduce the transition duration and add it to the images' duration. Gary

Greetings, The latest version at the PTE site is 9.0.10. During one discussion with Igor (I can't find where exactly it was), he had me download 9.0.11 to fix a problem. So, what is the latest version? If I have 9.0.11, should I dump it and go back to 9.0.10 or is there really a 9.0.11 out there??? Gary Later: I found where I got the 9.0.11

Igor, Yes, I did not think of the 256 vs 128 kbps. Thanks... Gary

Greetings All, I had not used this feature in the past. So I just tried it on a couple shows. In the first test, I had only a couple slides with an audio track that lasted much longer than the actual slides. So the result was that the 'converted' show was about half the size of the 'non-converted' show. Ok. But then I tried it on a much larger show where the many audio files ended with the end of the images in the show. The unexpected result was that the 'converted' show is actually larger than the 'non-converted' show. Is there any explanation why this would happen? Gary

Sure...just go to the four-arrow icon in the lower right hand corner. Gary

Igor, I am using 9.0.11, and have not seen any error messages. However, there still is an annoying thing happening. When you have highlight an image (slide) in the Slides, and then switch from the Slides to the Timeline, the image does not move or re-position. This is good. The image (slide) stays in the relative same position. However, when you switch back to Slides, the image (slide) gets moved to the far right of the screen (does not stay in the same relative position). It would be nice to keep the highlighted image (slide) in the same relative position as you switch back and forth between the Slides and Timeline views. Gary

Phil, I copied a bunch of MP4 PTE shows to a DVD as data and tried to play them on my JVC BD player. They don't play. Am I missing something? I looked at the documentation and 'MP4' was not even mentioned as being a format it plays. Maybe my JVC BD player is too old? Can, in fact, DVD players play MP4's? Gary

Igor... Yes, the problem is fixed. I tried it several times, closed/reopened PTE, different images, no problems. Thanks... Gary

Igor, I installed your new '11' beta link above, but it still installs as version '10', with the same problem. Wrong link? Gary

Greetings Igor, I re-installed 9.0.10 today and I still get the error messages and the files in the File List get pushed down with 'Lin's 16:9 Border Window Style'. I tried it on a few different projects. In some shows, the problem does not occur, in others it does. I don't know what the difference might be. Gary

Greetings Barry, I tried what you suggested to put a still image (or title slide) as the first image, instead of the black blank slide. I figured out that it has to be a 'quick' transition, not a dissolve, or else you still get an initial black beginning. And the short length of the video is bummer, too. But then I thought it can be downloaded and assume it would still download the entire show if it is more than the 3 minutes. Not sure yet if this possible. But if you try to download from Flickr, you have to 'sign in' and that, too, is something I'd not want viewer to have to do. So back to the Slideshowclub, waiting for Igor to fix the max size upload restrictions. So it seems good for single images, but not for videos..... Gary

Greetings Barry, I could not find any limitations on the file size. Can you tell us the file size limitations or total upload limits? Gary

Yes, Igor, I did download 9.0.10, today. Gary

Igor, No. I tried it with 9.0.10, but I still get the errors. If I try the Style on the first image, I get the error messages. Then, I try it on a second image, I don't get the error message. Seems to happen only when I first try to use this Style from Lin. Gary

Bert, I have Win10 and Firefox browser. When I play a Youtube, I am able to choose the quality when I click on the 'cog'.

Greetings Igor, It seems that V9.0.10 is an improvement in the positioning of the selected image when you change from the Timeline to the Slides view. The selected image (or slide) at least stays within the screen as you are switching between Timeline and Slides. But it would be better if the selected image (or slide) maintained its relative position as you switched back and forth between the Timeline and the Slides view. For example, when you switch from Timeline to the Slides, the image (or slide) always jumps to the far right of the screen, not maintaining its original position. But much better so far Thanks... Gary

Igor... sent in PM. If you need more, let me know. Gary

Greetings Igor Yes, it seems that if I switch the File List to thumbnail view (not table view), the problem does not occur. I also noticed that, when the problem does occur, the File List does not really disappear, as I first thought, but they are actually just pushed way down the File List window. Also, when I deleted the 'Jardin-testLinSlideStyle.resources ' folder, I got a massive amount of error messages that went on and on until I killed PTE. I did notice also that after I switched to the 'thumbnails view' in the File List, the problem seemed to stop. Even when I changed back to the 'Table View', the problem did not reoccur if I selected the Lin Style. However, if I closed PTE and started over again, the problem returned. Gary

Greetings Igor, Yes, I checked out the new version and it has solved the font problem. Thanks... Gary

Igor... Still waiting for the Slideshowclub to fix the max limit of shows back to 280Mbs. It this something that will be fixed? I have several shows that exceed the current reduced limit. I'd rather post to the Slideshowclub. Gary

Phil, Thanks... I was trying that but, for unknown reason, it did not work until I tried it again after your posting. Maybe my 'shift' key was not responding well. Appreciate the info... Gary

Greetings, I have a lot of audio files in a track and I want to move all of them without disturbing their relationship to each other. I have them fading into each other just so and I don't want to have to reset them. I can move one at a time but I'd rather just be able to highlight all of them and then just slide them over, but I don't seem to be able to do that. Any way to do this? Gary

Greetings, I have never been able to 'Publish on YouTube'. I recently tried to do this just to see if I could. However, I get an error message saying I need a 'special password for PicturesTo Exe to use YouTube'. I can sign into Google with no problem. But I have no idea what this error message means. I tried to the '2-Step Verification' process but that got me nowhere. Can someone explain what is going on with this process? Also, can we 'Publish on the YouTube' so that it creates the file first on our PC before it actually get uploaded to YouTube, so we can see first how it looks? Gary

Greetings Igor, I just tried 'Lin's 16:9 Border Window Style' in another show but it did not cause the problem. To help you narrow your search for the cause, I reduced the specific show where the problem occurs down to just a few slides. If you run Lin's Style on the last slide, you should see the problem. It just might be something that I have done wrong, but just strange that it happens in this show, perhaps not others. Attached is the Zip of the project and Lin's Style. Also, I notice a folder was also created called 'Jardin-testLinSlideStyle.resources'. This folder disappears after the errors are cleared out. Never saw it before. Also, I notice this Zip file is really big for only a few images. Not sure why....

Ok, Good. I did try these two exe's on my other PC. The Italinate font did not show. It was replaced with some other font. Ok...no more testing. Thanks. Let me know what was going on. Thanks... Gary
