Maybe, we need a history window as in Photoshop or Audacity

... I don't want to always adjust each slide individually, sometimes I want them to just sync.
Can you describe your requirement in more detail. The option "Synchronize soundtrack and slides" has not changed since version 5, I think.

I wonder whether the "Ideas and suggestions" sub-forum will achieve useful ends, if poor Igor has to read through all these posts.
Might it be useful for the forum to separate the actual suggestions from all the (relevant and irrelevant) ensuing discussions?
...
A good idea. But do you have another good idea how to enforce your suggestion?

Did you notice that in DaveGee 5.exe the rendering does not work well? There are jagged edges (missing anti-aliasing).

Question: Is it a bug, or is it a feature that in the O&A window you can only undo or redo actions that have been done during this particular O&A session? Perhaps not bad!?

Yes, but beware! The auto-save overwrites your previous version. If you make a series of changes and then decide that you didn't want to do that after all, you will not have on disk the PTE project file in the same state that it was when you began that session. All you will have is the project file in the state that it was the last time that auto-save ran ...
That's why I would recommend to use the new function of Auto Recovery.

My last post applies to you also, 3 Mod's fratching, really promotes PTE ...
I do not really know what "fratching" means, but I have an idea about it. This forum is a place for discussions, and if someone comes up with some kind of nonsense, it should be allowed to clarify the situation.

In this context, these shortcuts are nothing but useless.

The first time I muted and locked tracks I did not immediately see any on-screen indication of that change. Eventually I spotted that the warning symbols appeared way over at the extreme right hand side of the track.

For me it is at the extreme right hand side of the screen.

Another comment on audio clips: i noticed that if you lock an audio track and move the time point of a contained clip with CTRL+E command, the clip will move alone regardless of the locked track (i expected all clips on the trach will move). To achieve that effect i must access the customize dialog of the clip. By applying here the parameter change i get all the track clips affected by the shift. This looks counter-intuitive to me.
...
In my opinion: Ctrl+E is to be used to shift the slides' transition points. If an audio track is locked, you can move a single clip with Ctrl+Mouse, or using Shift+Mouse moving a clip together with the ones that follow to the right.

Hi Umberto,
In principle, this is a very good idea. Maybe that the project file (ASCII) is not the correct position, what about a data base file in the project folder?

MAYBE TRY THIS ...
Please tell me: In which way does your post refer to Umberto's proposal?

With version 7.5 you can open two projects at the same time, select a slide in the slide list of one project, copy it (ctrl+c), and past it into the other project (ctrl+v).

In situations like that, I sometimes proceed as follows. I temporarily give a new name to some folder along the path to the original images. Then PTE will not find these images, and it will look into the new project folder and load the new images. Then I save the project, and the project file now should have the new paths. Then I rename the folder again. This is not an elegant way but it sometimes helps.

If I remember it correctly, this is not a new suggestion. Nevertheless it is a very good one. I think that user Jean-Claude made a similar suggestion, a couple of years ago.

I just made a similar test with version 7.0.7. This version shows the same odd behavior as 7.5.3.
As I said in my Post #7: I have observed similar effects with earlier versions, as well.

Peter,
Your example really does not differ very much from mine in Post #7 (if at all). The situation is really odd. Keeping my notation from Post #7, you are working with a newly saved project Test2, and when closing it (in particular situations related to the Undo operation), you will be asked if you want to save the original (first) project Test1. In case you cancel saving, add another image, and start another closing operation, you will be asked again for saving the first project (Test1) while still working with second one (Test2). But what happens in case when you do the save operation? In my test, the open second project was closed, and the changes were saved to the second project, as well (although the old project was indicated).
When doing that kind of close operations, the mini player sometimes freezes.

I have observed similar effects (as described by Peter) with earlier versions, as well.
My recent test with v7.5.3:
- I open PTE for a new project, enter two images, save it as Test1, and close it.
- I open Test1, and save it as Test2
- Without closing Test2, I insert another image, followed by pressing the undo button.
- Again, I go to "Save file as ...", and PTE suggests to save it under the name of Test1.
- I cancel saving, and try to close my present project (which is Test2), but PTE asks me if I would like to save changes to Test1.
- I cancel closing the project and insert another image.
- I try to close the project (still Test2) again, but PTE still asks me if I would like to save changes to project Test1.
There seems to be something wrong!

I think I said 7 not 7.5 EBBPMIG.

Via the link provided by Yachtsman1 you will obtain version 7.0.7, not 7.0.5. But I think that 7.0.7 will be the better choice.

Audition is about sound production,not Visual.
...
There is no doubt about your advantage in the use of the English language. In Germany we say that we have seen a film, but most of us will have heard the soundtrack, as well. If you would like to do it, we could continue this discussion in German via PMs
Viele Grüße,

If you can get a copy of Audition 3 on your machine to work, it's pretty cool.
You can dump that crapola Audacity thing in the recycle bin.
...
Having seen some of your productions, it may no be unfair to say that for that kind of soundtracks Audacity is more than sufficient.

The WnSoft-WaveCache - Is it limited in Size?
in General Discussion
Posted
In my Local Settings I can find a new folder called WnSoft-WaveCache. It seems that in all cases when you add some new (formerly not used) audio clip to some PTE project, the PTE program adds some entries into this folder, even if you do not save the project. Although I have not yet done any serious work with the new audio features, until today, my WaveCache showed a size of 1 GB. Wouldn't it be good to have a function in PTE in order to manage this cache (e.g. to give a limit for its size)?
