Igor, With "Open last Project" in Preferences ticked. 1. Start PTE and it opens with the last Project. (Project A) 2. Go to File / Open and Browse to a different Project. (Project B ) 3. Project B opens but the File List shows Project A Files. Should each new Project loaded via File / Open show the related Image Files? My Project .pte and my Project Images, Audio Files etc are all saved in the same folder. I would like to see the File List show the contents of the Folder containing the .pte file when it is opened. I cannot speak for Gary. DG P.S. Have you noticed that if you put "Project B" in Brackets it comes out as (Project

Hi Jeff, Sorry for the delay. The missing masks are in this ZIP: Masks.zip DG

Options: You can create a gap between each tile by taking a pixel off each side in "Size/Position in Pixels of Parent". DG

Mary, Please try this: Here are the Templates to make the Video Mask - 50 second original and 5 second short: SquaresMasks Templates.zip Here is the Style complete with the Video Mask: Jigsaw 03.zip DG P.S. You said "16:10 AR (I don't like cropping my pictures)" - did you mean that you like you show to fill your 16:10 monitor. Or did you mean that you have a camera which takes 16:10 images?

Yes We need a different "packaging" strategy when Styles are applied. DG

Thank you Denis, Vilara, I understand. The mask is referenced in the "Backup In Zip" rather than be "real". I assumed that it became "real" once the Style was applied. I don't remember the conversation you mentioned. Interesting. DG

Vilara, Denis, I later realised that you might be refering to Styles which contain certain Custom Transitions. If that is the case then I concede that it could be a problem. I have not tried it but that is possible. Any video mask etc applied in a pure Style will be collected and saved to the BIZ. DG

Maureen, You just get better every time. Nice use of "Third Image". DG

Tom, Try setting a 5 sec Transition Time and 10 sec slide duration before you apply the CT. I just D/L'd it to be sure and it works fine with a 2 sec or a 5 sec transition. Are your two transition times greater than your Slide Duration? - that causes a problem (obviously). DG

They will have been collected and saved in the BIZ? DG

How many pieces? What AR? DG

If the styles have already been applied then they are not needed? DG

Can someone give a definitive answer? Is what Gary and I are seeing correct or not? I am seeing the same thing on both Laptop and Desktop machines - Vista and W7. 8.0.3 and 8.0.4. Am I supposed to be seeing something different - does anyone else see anything different? DG

I think that I am getting the same as Gary? If the Project that I open is the last saved then the File List association is kept. However, if I open a previously save Project then the File List is stuck on the Last Saved Project's File List. DG

........or as a Custom Transition: JigsawTT01.zip

Jigsaw Demo: HERE DG

Two Jigsaw Puzzle Styles which can be used as transitions. Add two 16:9 (1920x1080) images to the Slide List twice (1;1;2;2) with zero Transition Times. Apply the style to slides 2 and 3. Jigsaw 01.ptestyle Jigsaw 02.ptestyle Lovingly developed and created using TTT.

http://www.wnsoft.com/ Just download from the link and then follow Barry's guide. DG

Have you checked your Junk Mail (just in case)? If the original e-mail went there, chances are the "ticket" reply did too. DG

Sorry Jeff, I will sort that out asap. DG

Hi Barry, This is like Deju Vu all over again. It's like the Nikon vs Canon debate at the Camera Clubs. You and I had this discussion years ago. Drive failure is not the only reason to use Imaging software - problems with Registry, Viruses etc can all be very time consuming so restoring an image of your C drive to when it was working perfectly, which usually takes no more than about 30 minutes, is a "hands free" option and allows you to do something else, like go have a cup of tea or take some pictures, instead of using a screwdriver. A 1TB USB drive will hold sufficient Images of your C drive to go back ten or twelve iterations if required to get to a time when it was running smoothly. I am not one who likes to take the covers off a computer - if it can't be done without resorting to that then PC World does it for me. But using Imaging Software is just like installing a new programme. Each to his own - but I will go the "Stress Free Imaging" route . Best wishes, DG

Not if you use either of the two options that I mentioned above. DG

If you have set "wait for key press" to give you the manual control then the slide duration means nothing. It is a reflection of the settings in Project Options which you have chosen to override. The other way of doing it is to set the maximum time possible for each slide in Project/Slide Options and then use the arrows to move forward/backward. Ignore it - it means nothing. DG

Click on the first slide, Shift Click on the last slide and use: Arrange Selected Slides in the Dropdown. http://docs.picturestoexe.com/en/main-window/the_timeline#other_controls_in_the_timeline_view DG

Lin, The best terminology to use is IMAGE rather than CLONE. This type of software creates an IMAGE of your C drive which can be RESTORED if any problems occur. The image can be made at regular intervals, usually before adding new software so that if your computer gets "messed up" there is an easy way back. Nothing to do with Data Storage or Backup. Purely a C drive thing. That is why I advocate - NO DATA ON YOUR C DRIVE. DG
