  2. No .exe icon in p2e .exe files (rel. 4.48)

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Al,

    This slideshow contains 231 pictures. I do not bairgain on the picture quality and size as long as the whole P2E show fits on a CD. I know that the resolution is way over what is required for a decent screen presentation, but most PC handle the resizing without any problem and in fact it saves me the time to do the picture resizing after all pictures are finetuned (framing, sharpening, color cast, perspective correction ...) More, I keep the original high quality pictures for other use like printing ... Concerning music addition : I always use the MP3 music file format. In this paticular show, I added no music.

    Peter.

    Peter,

    Glad you got it sorted out.

    By the way, how many images are you showing in your sequence? It seems like a very large file, and could probably be cut back by using smaller images.

    Also, what type of music are you using? "Wave" files are much larger than "mp3" files, and don't really add much in the way of quality.

    Thanks all for the help.

    As you reported the regular pte icon being present on your slideshow executables, I reduced for test the size of the .exe file by deleting some pictures. The original .exe was about 695 Mbyte and apparently reading it takes too long for Windows XP to retrieve and show the icon. A smaller pte .exe (300 Mbyte) with the same P2E configuration does show the regular P2E icon.

    Best regards,

    Peter

    Peter,

    When you see the Windows Icon below it means that Windows can't find the origional 'Pte Program Icon' and in default it has provided a workable systems Icon for you to use.

    Most Program Icons are simple 'executable-shortcuts' to a Main Program - executable means that it will open that Program on command, viz~ the Icon.

    There are a number of reasons that Window looses that connectivity:-

    a) You tried to make your own Icon without success, happens all the time !

    B) You moved the Program from an origional Folder to another Folder or Sub-Folder.

    c) You moved the Program to another sector within a partioned Disc.

    d) You burnt the Program to a CD-Disc without specifying a default Icon.

    e) Simple plain corruption of the Program.

    The simplest way around this is to re-load Pte from its downloaded Exe (it should be on your HD,do a Search) or alternatively re-load from Pictures to Exe.

    Hope this helps,

    Brian.Conflow.

  7. No .exe icon in p2e .exe files (rel. 4.48)

    When I generate a .exe file with P2E rel. 4.48, the .exe file does not has the nice P2E slideshow icon any more. Windows XP seems not be able to retrieve the 32*32 icon when listing the .exe in a directory. I was neither able to make an added own (32*32) icon visible in Windows XP. This problem is easy to see and I was wondering somebody knows a solution for this.

    Best regards,

  8. autohide cursor

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Pbar,

    Welcome to the Forum!

    This feature still works for me. Of course, as you probably know, if you move the mouse during the show the cursor will appear momentarily, and then disappear again when you stop moving the mouse. I'm using version 4.44.

    Thanks for the reply. I tested again and my observation is that the cursor indeed hides, except as in my project where the box "hide cursor at startup" is also enabled (and of course auto hide the cursor after 1 s).

    Best regards.

  9. autohide cursor

    in General Discussion

    Hi,

    One small problem : Autohide cursor seems not to work any more at least in version 4.44 and 4.45 : the cursor does not disappear after the configured time (1s).

    The feature worked well in earlier PTE versions on my system (and still does on earlier shows). Did I misconfigured or overlooked something ?

    Best regards.
