Some easy way of adding a small animated starting title for the show and provision for adding small animated icons / GIFs ( may be one per slide ) would be an icing on the cake ! Even the opening title animation can be similar to the one used in powerpoint ( flashing text ..moving text etc). I know it would require a lot of work....but once these feature are added ...it will be really WONDERFUL !

I have saved both the installers in the same folder. Can this give a problem in terms of erratic startoff of installations ? I mean inspite of clicking on photokeeper icon..its still installing Photokeeper ? I will get back after trying out totally new downloads for both in separate folders. sal

Yes , I think the name PTE is seen only after you start the actual installation through the installer icon is red color called photokeeper_release and then the blue screen appears with the PTE version saying that "this will install February+4 release (minimal )build of Aephid photokeeper 2002. Further it takes to the blue screen of Pictures to Exe v 4.10 beta#9 !! I suggest you can try a complete cycle of trial installation and reconfirm this . sal

No I am quite sure about that , The download can be tried at - http://www.aephid.com/photokeeper-default-frame.html After I click on the installation icon, it takes me to PTE . I would also request comments from other members / Wnsoft adminstrator which will help me in clarification on this. sal

I agree and I have got completely convinced with features of PTE , but when I downloaded the trial version from Aephid photokeeper .....it brings me down to nothing else but PTE !! that's why i'm surprised. Even the logo and everything is the same. sal

I am just about to buy PTE and....while browsing the internet I found that it also appears under the name Aephid Photokeeper . This package shows some added features on the same PTE software which are not shown on the wnsoft version. I am confused about this ...what is the clarification ? sal tamb

Thanks for giving me the inputs . One simple question- Can the small animation symbols and icons ( GIF) available free on internet be inserted in PTE slides in some way ? ( Since these work and animate only when used with a browser , otherwise they are static pictures). Can they be run on individual PTE slide as an object ? Sal

Many thanks to you all - Bill, nobeefstu, Alrobin. I think I got a very good solution to my query through all your answers. It was indeed a great help. The forum is great ! Now I will go ahead and buy one copy of PTE and start off the work. By the way...are there any good animation text freeware / shareware which can be inserted as a short title moving on the first slide ? Can I then get a short animation title flash exe made from outside and insert the same on the first slide ? Thanks once again for all your help. Sal

Thanks again for your reply. let me make it more clear ...(thanks for your patience and paying attention to my point ) My basic idea is to preapre a CD with about 600 wildlife photos clicked by me. The opening screen should say the Title "wildlife CD" ( just for eg) in an attractive font anfd music. The second screen should have three clickable buttons for - a) Birds , Animals and c) others. each of these have subcategories like a) Birds- 1.Aquatic birds 2. ground birds 3. Preying birds Animals - 1. herbivores 2. Carnivores c)Others -1. Butterflies 2. Insects 3. Reptiles Each of these are separate slide shows on their own ( PTE exe files ) I can just link them from and back to the opening screens through the PTE hyperlinks. The opening screen can be made in paint shop etc with good fonts . Or some information text pages can be pput as JPEG screens (as good as a single slide inside the individual slideshow) Does that seem possible to be done using PTE ? Sal

Thanks for your mails . I am still in a bit of confusion. Though I want to use a web design packagewith inserts / overlays of multiple several PTE slideshows, but is not to build up a website. But it is with the objective to prepare a photo Cd with clickable hyperlinks on these web pages and some interactive menus( embeded exe files). Essentially there need to be multiple slideshows which one can navigate and click. I hope this should be possible. Saleel

I would like to prepare a auto run photoCD using PicturesToExe. But I want to have some animated text titles at the start up and some small animation icons inserted onto some pictures to make the CD a multimedia interactive presentation. Can I use several slideshows ( cerated as standalone exe files in PicturesToExe ) as embeded slideshows in a web design package which convertys text to HTMl( for eg MS frontpage) etc ? My question is that whether exe files created from PicturesToExe can be inserted in other developments ? Any ideas , suggestions please ?
