Uploaded new version. Now when user install a show, a link will be created to the show (in a folder you specify) in "Start" menu and not on desktop. So the links to all shows installed will be togeter in on folder on the "Start" menu (no matter where they are installed). By the way, I has small mistake in the readme file concerning welcome image dimensions, it was fixed now. Granot

This program will combine two pte projects. It will use all basic configurations, like background music, of the first project, and add the slides of second projects to the first one. All your files should be in original folders. You can make your changes on the combined project and save it in new name. This is old program and I hope it will work as should.

I uploaded new version with some changes requested. You have option to show two diferent sets of buttons. 1) Only one small arrow button which will run selected show. Show will be deleted after close. 2) Two buttons. One to run the show from TMP and the other to install the show on any selected folder on user's HD and then run from there. Show will NOT be deleted. In this case a shortcut link will be created on user's desktop. Granot

. Raydene I heard once that some servers keep pages as "stock" and actually do not send you to the real page but to the page they keep. But I don't know if they are still doing so. Just search for: AutoPano Use the browser Find/Search. Hi Fred, Sure I dont mind, I always prefer to give link to page because that wat new members who don't know my site can find other useful utilities. Just got some suggestions from Brian and already working on next better version. Granot

Many thanks to Patrick (d67) who tested the Beta versions of this utility and gave me some useful comments and suggestions which I followed to reach the final results. Granot

AutoPano Utility This utility is a runner for multi-shows. It will display a list of all shows on the CD, a scrollable panorama image for each show and a text for each show. When user selects a show from the list the panorama thumbs image will be displayed together with text about the show and show descriptive name. When user click the Run arrow to run the selected show, it will be first installed on his hard drive and then run from HD, and not from the CD. When show is closed the show on HD will be deleted. On start, before selecting a show, a welcome text will be displayed together with a welcome image. Panorama images can be of minimus 280 pixels width and 100 pixels height. Thumbs of selected images from each show can be easily stitched with "IrfanView". For example, if you select 10 images and make thumbs of 125x100 then your panorama image will be 1250x100. More instructions in the Readme file. Download from My Webpage Granot

If you didn't delete other files from your HD simply copy the pte files from CD to HD. In case you will want to make changes to those pte files you will probably have to change their attributes and remove the "read only".

Ken, You have done a great job. Now downloading all files. Is there a chance to see a "Beatles" jukebox ? Ken, I want to work and listen to your music, but how do I do that ? It seems once I run the jokebox it covers all my screen and I don't have access to my files. Many thanks for this enjoyable creation. Granot

Ok, here is what I started and soon will have the first Beta. Unlimited shows. Scrolling panorama thumbs for each show (you can make a long panorama of selected images from the show and user can scroll with mouse). Option to show a list of all shows. Two buttons to go to Next/Previous, which means the panorama image will change. Run button to install the show on TEMP and run it from there. Delete the show afrer closed. Maybe will add option to show text for each show. By the way, did you try my "MultiShowPlayer" which has also a French version ? When Beta is ready I will post here. Granot

Thanks Robert and Patrick. Patrick, I don't undertand what you mean. The show is on CD not on HD, so why I will tell a path to the show ? Or do you mean you want user to be able to install it in the path he choose ? Please explain in more details (and are you sure my other similar utilities don't have the requested feature ?) Thank you Granot

Look at this page: PTE Utilities. Under "Free Autorun Programs for CD Distribution" There are few programs that you can choose.

"Install Screen Saver" - version 2.0 Install from your CD (or folder) to user's Hard Drive. Run default screen Saver. Run Screen Saver from CD (or same folder). You will find it on my web site: Free programs Granot

Install Screen Saver - version 2.0 From your CD to user's Hard Drive. Download here

ThumbsPageMaker Version 3.0 Make a web page with thumbs of images from a folder. The only function I didn't tested is "Print" button (simply because I don't have a printer). Please let me know if it works. ThumbsPageMaker Granot

Brian That was very useful information. I always learn something from your replies. One question: What you suggest for recording sentences (no music at all) to get the smallest WAV possible in good quality (don't have to be the best) ? Thank you Granot

How about "MultiShowPlayer" ?

This free program can help you: "Autorun.inf Maker - v.6.0" It will generate advanced "autorun.inf" file for CD. It has also a big Help file explaining about autorun. Download from this page.

Yes, I know this limitation untill I will have time to fix it but... If you do not include "VidSet.ini" then all videos should be centered Did you try it ? Granot

Now you can position each video on a different place on screen.

ModifyPTE utility Of course you can do it manually but I made it anyway for my use so I share it. Size: 125 kb If you use "Run application after last slide" in your "PicturesToExe" made presentation and user exit your show before reaching the last slide then your file will not run. To force your show to run the file specified on "Run application after last slide" you need to make a small change to your pte file BEFORE compiling it to exe. This small utility will not make any changes to your original file but will create a new file called: "Modified.pte" (in the folder of this utility) with the change needed. Compile the new "Modified.pte" file and remember not to make any change to it and not to use "Save" while the file is open in your "PicturesToExe" program. All changes to your show should be done in your original pte file and then create again a new modified file before compiling. Please notice that when creating "Modified.pte" it will overwrite any previous file. You will find it on "PicturesToExe" utilities on My Webpage Granot

MouseVolume Utility Bring your mouse to the left edge of screen and scroll it slowly up or down to increase or decrease volume. Eat ZERO CPU. Only 180 kb. Run hidden. Click "ESC" key to close it. Donationware I made it on my XP but didn't test it on other OS. You can find it on My Webpage Granot BTW, There are other two volume utilities on my page.

I will soon add new feature: You will be able to position each video on a different place on screen with a simple ini file. Please check this topic for update. Granot

You mean you tested the last "ShowVideoPTE_HideMouse.zip" ? (The one without the "little picture above").

Sorry, my mistake. I removed this and uploaded new to the "ShowVideoPTE_HideMouse.zip link. Before I update the main link, can you tell me if you are testing this on show with full screen and if yes, don't you have any problem with the task bar ? Den, It seems I earase the files. I will try to search in my backup CD's, maybe I will find it.

Den, I hope you still have the old version of ""ShowVideo". But are you sure this is the name ? i think it is totaly another utility. I can send you Marco's Hide/Show. Where to ?
