  3. Scale timeline in O&A

    Jill,

    I understand and apologize for this problem.

    No problem I don't do that much animation & if I do, then I try to break it down into smaller slides so I can see the keyframes.

    Also as I work with 2 monitors i can always drag the window across both to get a wider view if I need it.

    But a way to expand the Timeline will be a great help, especially now we can see the waveform it is helpful to expand that to get exact timing with the sound.

    Thanks for the suggestions.

    If key frames are very close together then having larger keyframs can make it more difficult.
    It is the width of the Timeline that is the problem when you have a long slide.
    If it is only a few sevonds it is not a problem.

    With some text even at 150% I struggle to read it, especially when my eyes are tired.

    We plan this possibility in future version

    Great News, this will be a really useful feature.

     

    I do work with a maximised window on a 1920 monitor.
    But as my eyesight is poor I have the text size set to 150% otherwise I cannot see it.
    This means the Timeline in O&A is not as wide so very difficult to see when keyframes are close together.

  7. Dropping levels [SOLVED]

    in Troubleshooting

    Posted

    I am using Windows7  & driver is 13/12/2011  Ver 6.0.1.6526

    So very old!

    I don't have centre or sub woofer, I have my computer connected to my Hi-Fi system only 2 speakers.

    John is using Windows8.1 & he has the same tabs as I do, but his driver is 2018.

    Maybe something to do with the sound card or version of Windows?

    Hi Raymond,

    I have tried your test file & the music level is consistent throughout. It does not change when the voice comment comes in.

    Not sure what settings could cause this problem on your desktop, but make sure all other input sounds are muted, such as Microphone, Line in etc.

    Hopefully you will have the following on your desktop.

    Right click on Speaker icon at the right of the task bar.
    Select Playback devices
    Select your Speakers
    Click Properties
    Select the Levels Tab

  13. Toolbars and Fullscreen view of Filelist/Slidelist [SOLVED]

    in Troubleshooting

    Jill,

    I forgot to add. Since PTE 10 Space key in the fullscreen view of File list or Slide list uses a new fullscreen preview which also can play video files. So Space key can be used to pause/resume playback in a preview of a video file/or slide.

    So we need to find some logical solution for all these tasks.

    Ok this makes sense.

    The problem is that on many laptops the Esc key is very near to the power switch & in the dark when you are looking at the main projection screen it can be possible to hit the wrong key & switch the laptop off!!

    It is not a problem when working at home, only when giving demonstrations or using PTE for single image competitions.

    Thanks, I reproduced this problem.

    Glad that you have found the problem.
    I have just tried on my desktop which still has RC5 (I haven't yet downloaded the final version)
    It works as V9 and changes to the Toolbar happen immediately.

    On my laptop you have to click OK first.

    Both Win 7

    Just downloaded the final release version & that works on my desktop.
    Strange that it doesn't work on my laptop.

  17. Reset button in O&A

    in Suggestions for Next Versions

    Posted

    When giving demonstrations of PTE I have often wished for a reset button in O&A & keep forgetting to ask!

    It would be very useful to be able to click one button to reset all parameters to their default positions in O&A.

    I know we can reset each value by double click on the name, but if you have made several changes it can be a lot of clicks!

    So if you have zoomed, dragged and rotated the image by using the grab handles to then reset everything back to zero  there are a lot of clicks.
    If you have made other changes such as blur, opacity or colour it can take a while to reset everything.
    Even using the undo (assuming you want to reset immediately) there can still be several clicks.
    If you have made changes to other slides that you wish to keep then you cannot use the undo.


    Having a single button to reset all parameters would speed things up.

  18. Toolbars and Fullscreen view of Filelist/Slidelist [SOLVED]

    in Troubleshooting

    Posted

    I was giving a demonstration to a camera Club of the new PTE10 tonight.

    I was showing how you can customise the Toolbars & noticed that they no longer change immediately.

    In PTE9 if you tick/untick or move the position of an item in Preferences/Toolbars the change happens on screen immediately without having to click OK.
    In PTE10 you have to click OK before the change takes place.

    Is it possible for the changes to take place as they did in V9?

     

    Also the little triangle 'Fullscreen view of Filelist' used to be on by default.
    Not sure when the default was changed to Off , but for beginners it is much better to have the default set to On.

    Can the default be changed back to On please.

     

    Fullscreen view of Fileslist/Slidelist

    In V9 & all previous versions when in Fullscreen view you can click on a thumbnail of a slide & press the spacebar to display the image fullscreen.
    Pressing spacebar again would return to the thumbnail view

    Now in V10, not only does it seem to take a lot longer to display the fullscreen image, but it no longer returns using the spacebar.
    You now have to use Esc to return to the thumbnail view.

    Being able to quickly toggle thumbnail/fullscreen using the spacebar was very useful.
    The spacebar is easy to hit in the dark, the Esc key is more difficult to find.

    Resizable window with executable show

    in PicturesToExe 10 Beta

    Posted

    For festivals and competitions I always run from a PTE menu sequence. 

    For video files I have VLC player set to always open full screen, hide all on screen controls and close when the video is finished.

    If PTE could have preferences to always play any exes full screen then that would be great.

    We ask people to always make sure that the cursor and nav bar are hidden, but not everyone complies.

    If the mouse is accidentally moved during playback it is distracting for judges and audience when the cursor and nav bar appear.

    Having a preference to switch these off when playing from a menu would be a very useful feature if at all possible.

    Since Beta 36 double click in EXE show or preview switches between fullscreen mode and windowed mode.

    Is there a way to switch this off?

    I am a little concerned that it could cause problems when running exe files in competitions where we always want fullscreen.
    I know it is highly unlikely to accidentally double click while something is running, but if this feature can be turned off it would be useful.
