Running my main PC on Windows 11 for a few days now with no problems. It seems very stable. PTE has been very reliable as usual and all my other apps have been compatible. I did run WhyNotWin11 to verify I met all the requirements (after OS is out of beta). Tom

User beware if you upgrade after 3.0.2. I hope the software gets forked into an open source project. https://github.com/audacity/audacity/discussions/1225 https://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?f=70&t=118977#p429730 https://www.audacityteam.org/about/desktop-privacy-notice/ Tom

Hi Michael, My MSI motherboard with Ryzen 2700x is about 2 1/2 years old. I recently updated the BIOS firmware. I was able to turn on TPM 2 in the firmware and also UEFI/Secure Boot. Everything appears to be working. I think it was working without TPM before I enabled it because the operating system is a Windows Preview where TPM 2 is not enforced. To check TPM status in Windows 11 you can type Win+R and enter tpm.msc and it will tell you if it's enabled. The YT channel you mentioned is a good source of information. https://www.youtube.com/user/Theofficialwindows8/videos Thanks, Tom

I am running Win 11 Home now. I am a Windows Insider and this morning I was prompted to reboot my PC for software updates. After updates I first noticed the ribbon wallpaper at login. I guess I will have to buy the option TPM module for my motherboard before Windows 11 final is released. My initial testing of PTE seems to indicate everything is working normally. Tom

I have the opposite problem. I'm over 6 feet tall and barely fit in my wife's Subaru outback. I hope your new car is the perfect match and you don't have to change again soon. The slideshow was interesting and I learned something new about car painting. I did not know they can use eco friendly water based paint. Robots are everywhere in manufacturing now. PSY Gangnam Style currently at 4.1 Billion views on YT. I think almost everyone on Earth with an internet connection has watched that video. Tom

I remember the Redwood song from my childhood. If you stay up late the broadcast TV would display a resolution chart and play the song before shutting down. Trees are amazing. Thanks, Tom

Even though they are close to us I might not able to visit the big trees this summer. Currently remodeling bedroom and bathroom of a 100 year old house (mostly made of Redwood). I did this one almost 10 years ago. Direct link to song http://www.kins1063.com/about/the-redwood-song/

Most of the western United States is currently very hot. Portland Oregon is expected to reach 46 deg. C today. We are lucky that when the interior regions get hot we have a cool ocean air breeze on the coast. I think that is why giant redwood trees grow here.

It appears that Microsoft (Windows) has joined forces with computer manufacturers to force upgrades. I have a 2nd gen Ryzen 7 2700x. I think Windows 10 is supported until 2025 so will not have to upgrade right away. If I buy a new computer I can help test PTE compatibility in Win 11 or I might switch to Apple completely. Tom *I could buy a TPM 2 module for my MSI motherboard for about $50 USD. I understand encryption is important and ransomware is getting out of control. Apple's version of TPM is named T2 and is integrated into the Apple M1 silicon.

Posted as a suggestion. https://www.pteavstudio.com/forums/topic/25128-add-a-new-button-action-play-video-with-return/ Thanks, Tom

To solve various problems with external media players it would be nice to have a new video play option using the existing PTE Player. Maybe add a new button action "Play video with Return". Users would then have new option of using internal PTE player or continue to use external file association player or run application player. I think MP4 would be only media type required if difficult to support all video types. As described here. Thanks, Tom -
Apple has also been developing their software from home. I will probably jump on Windows 11 when available later this year (after Igor tests PTE compatibility). So far I have not be bitten too bad. I am interested in Android compatibility and Windows ARM support. Tom

Looks interesting. Free update later this year. Android software in Microsoft Store. Store 0% fee if you use your own commerce engine. Apple might have to rethink their software restrictions. Maybe PTE will be in the Microsoft Store. Tom https://www.theverge.com/2021/6/24/22546791/microsoft-windows-11-announcement-features-updates https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-11

Nice slideshow. The children seem to be having a good time. Currently 15 C here close to the Pacific ocean. We sometimes get up to 25 C in late summer. It's humid heat so it feels warmer. Tom

I wonder if it would be possible for the player app to natively support mp4 video without requiring a .pteav container file? It seems like there is no conversion of video when creating a .pteav file? That might add to the versatility of the player. Tom
-
I have noticed this on my Mac where the menu loses focus after playing a video or slideshow. My solution was to create .pteav slideshows (video or photos) and then run as a slideshow from the menu. The player knows it does not have to start a new process to run the .pteav data file. Tom

This is great news. I hope you get a chance to test Windows 11 when it's available for developers. Thanks, Tom

Benchmarks of M1 and Affinity Software Discount

The 50% discount on Affinity software will end June 30. If you are hesitant to rent Adobe software this may be a good option. Tom -
Can you play a .exe slideshow without an access violation? If you don't have one you can download from https://www.slideshowclub.com/files/category/1-slideshows/ I would check my Windows operating system and graphics card to see if any updates are available. Tom

I was wondering if anyone has used automatic AI/neural engine colorization software for old photos and which is your favorite? On Windows I have tested Photoshop 2021 Neural Colorization filter, PhotoGlory, and MyHeritage. I think MyHeritage uses https://github.com/jantic/DeOldify . My next step is to try a Mac version of auto colorize software for comparison. Photo of my grandmother probably sometime around 1940-1960 era. Thanks, Tom

Hi Rosy, I don't have this camera but it looks like there is a reset option. https://panasonic.ca/viewing/ALL/DMC-FZ300PP/OI/sqw0419/sqw0419.pdf From pages 73 and 74. Tom

I agree. The software works great on the M1. Tom
-
Thanks Dave, It's good to know that PTE has the option to enable the selection. Tom
-
Hi Geoff, Testing on a Mac. When opacity is set to 0 you can see the selection when moving. Not sure why they are missing when opacity is > 0. Some of my other apps keep the selection handles/outline visible, some do not. Tom

Thanks for the update. I have tested other symbols and they all appear to be working. https://www.macworld.co.uk/how-to/mac-keyboard-type-symbols-3504584/ Tom
