Hi Igor,
Thanks for looking to my problem. I did some tests with your fix.
My orignal problem (for my project) is solved in this version!
Unfortunately I did a second test which still has the same 'invalid floating point operation'.
What I did:
- create a new project.
- make one slide by clicking on the example video from Windows 7 (wildlife).
- go to O&A and add a border.
- save the project
- click on the 'play' button
- multiple windows popping up with the 'invalid floating point operation' message.
I hope this helps to reproduce the problem at your site.
I looked for a logfile but couldn't find any in the main folder.
greetings
Dave,
wilburke,
Please try a test version:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/27544810/pte/pte_755log.zip
Download and unpack this ZIP archive into a new folder and run PicturesToExe.exe file from /Main folder.
When you reproduce the problem with float point operation, please close the program and send me PicturesToExe.log file from /Main folder.

I sent a mail to you with the zip.
I tried it on another PC (Windows 7 professional) and there everything works fine.
wilburke, Dave
I cannot reproduce this problem.
Could you provide more information? Screenshots of an exception and source files of a project would be helpful.

I'm working with PTE v7.5.4 on Windows 7.
When I add a video-clip and try to add a border to this video object (via O&A), I get an invalid floating point operation.
I can add the files if needed but it's easy to reproduce with any video file.

I'd like to come back to 'templates'. What's the difference between a project saved as a template and one archived to a zip? IMHO you can use both to pack your project (including all references) and unpack on another place or am I wrong?

I work with PTE for a long time and I'm a big lover of PTE! If I compare it with other programs (m.Objects, Corel VideoStudio etc) it's much simpler and has a lot of possibilities. PTE had one big disadvantage: its support for audio. But in v7.5 we're nearly there! I do like the audio tracks underneath the timeline. It's a pity you can't manipulate (yet) the audio here.
In PTE you can create fantastic transitions (thanks to the unlimited possibilities in O&A). But I'm a bit disappointed that I can't make use of some kind of (free) template transitions. For Corel VideoStudio, you can find plenty of templates on the internet.
The 'template' concept in PTE looks a bit strange to me. It's nothing more than a self containing project. I rather prefer to work with templates on slide level instead of project level. Shouldn't it great to select a slide and use this slide (including its Objects and Animation) as a template for another slide?
These are just some weird ideas. I keep promoting the program in my neighborhood and I do appreciate Igors work very much!!!

Thanks Lin for your answer. I tried exetoavi but it doesn't work. I get the error 'AVI stream not found in input file'.
any alternatives? I prefer mp4 instead of avi.

Hi all,
I wonder if anybody could help me. Since I use PTE Deluxe, I prefer to make mp4's to play from my MediaPlayer.
Unfortunately I have not all PTE-projects of my old slideshows.
Is there a way to convert the exe to mp4?
I'm thinking on a captue program or anything like that.
-
By default, the slides are set to 'fit to slide'. Is it possible to change this (e.g. via project settings)?
Now I have to change this into 'cover slide' for each slide individually.

Dear,
I did the tests you proposed. I can answer affirmative for all questions, except for one show that is not auto-closing. I excluded that one and now it's working. Thanks!
-
Theres no way to avoid this if the m.objects or any other program does not auto close and exit when complete. Theres no way to detect when the slideshow actually finishes playing unless its closes itself at the end or you manually close it.
the m.objects show does autoclose and exit but it looks like the PTE main show doesn't get back it focus. When I just click once on the black window, then it gets focus and continues.
-
This all works fine for starting pte's exe files but when I start an exe of m.objects, it seems that, when the show ends, my PTE main show hangs on a black screen. Clicking on the window makes the PTE application coming active again and then it continues...
-
Yes
This is working! you're genius. Thanks a lot! -
wilburke,
I just tested this example chain using the newly released v6.5 Beata 1 and all works as expected without simultanous playback.
What version of PTE are you using and can you post/attach just the .pte file (without image or sound resouruces) to be reviewed. ?
I'm working with the official 6.0.5 but I just downloaded the beta-version. This gives the same result with me.
In attachement, pls find the project file.
Thanks for the help !!!

wilburke,
Its also possible to create a single PTE slideshow (your Control Panel with buttons) to perform single playback and/or chain playback.
...
I tried this but my slideshows start in a different order. I made 4 dummy shows (displaying one slide for a short time showing the number of the slideshow). If I look in the TaskMonitor I see that different slideshows are started simultanously. I think the slides for starting up the individual slideshows will run the external application without waiting when finished. After 1 second, the next slide is displayed, starting the next slideshow etc.
I also tried to start a batch file but then I get the error message: "Command line contains prohibited command and will not be performed"

Dear forum members,
I'd like to use PTE as control panel for starting up slideshows (in fact: exe's coming from PTE or M.Objects).
This works fine for starting an individual slideshow by using buttons and 'run external applicacation' when clicking.
But I also want to define a button for starting all the slideshows in sequence (one after the other). I tried to enter a list of exe's, seperated with a comma but this starts all the applications in parallel.
Is there somebody who can help me???
How to show the author of the image
in General Discussion
Posted
I was wondering which template can be used to show the author of the image. I think it's part of the Exif data but I can only choose between 4 exif entries (Description,Comment,Date,Time). If I use <%MainImg.IPTC.AuthorByline%>, nothing is displayed.
Thanks,
Wil
