When I open a project having a missing file, PTE will show me a window as shown by the following image: When I click "Find Selected File", an explorer window will open: Here it would be better to have the option to choose "all files", and not only jpg-files, as it may happen that I would like to replace the missing image-1 by another image that isn't a jpg (e.g. a png). Presently I have to navigate to the corresponding folder and have to type the name of the new image (e.g. image-1.png).

It seems to be a bug! The problem here: Igor does not speak German.

I don't think so. If you open a larger audio clip in Audacity, cut it into several pieces, and export these pieces, you will end up with approximately the same size.

You can do it anyway, but not in the timeline. You can link two clips to the same slide, even if they are on the same track, but you have to do it in "Project Options > Audio". The slide number will be marked red, but it works (while crossfade will not work).

I apply a style in which not all images are main ones. When I save the project, PTE will add a folder like "project-name.resources" which contains images that have been stored in the style folder. Furthermore, the project addresses the images in the resources folder using paths of the following kind: "%store%\Slide Styles\{01471180-92EB-43B6-9464-E23422BC3578}\..." This can cause trouble when copying slides created by the style to other projects (missing images). I know a workaround, but I would prefer standard (direct) paths to the said images.

I enter a text object using a text template (e.g. <%MainImg1.FileName%>). In O&A I see the file name of main image 1. But in the Text Animation Window PTE shows the expression for the text template (see attached image).

This is the problem: If someone writes in French all non-French speaking members have to use a translator (Deepl /Google). This is why I normally do not answer to those posts. IMO the original poster him/herself should deliver the translation From the forum rules: WnSoft forum is an international forum. All messages must be in English only. It is acceptable that a post can be written in a foreign language and supplied with a full English translation.

A long-awaited feature

I also had a similar problem. I was working with Jean-Cyprien's Block Style, using high resolution images. In O&A I tried to enlarge the area of the slide's timeline. While moving the cursor up the PTE window became grey und it had to be closed.

The example in which I noticed the problem is now OK

The attached project contains two slides. IMO they should look the same, but they don't. Alpha-Mask_inside_Displacement-Container.zip

Just a recommendation: use Deepl or Google Translate

???

I could reproduce this effect, as well.

You may examine the attached project. Linear--Smooth--SmoothMove.pte

Will PTE support a Z-buffer (sooner or later)?

I would also recommend Lossless Cut. You typically do not cut exactly at the point where you may like it, but you cut without re-encoding. The precise cut you can do in PTE's timeline.

Maybe foolproof, but IMO a bit cumbersome (whatever the correct word may be)

Maybe a possible workaround : Create a separate PTE-project (call it Pool). Drag all objects from your image/video folder(s) into this project. Go to the full screen view of the Pool's slide list. There you can arrange things as you like it. You can also remove objects without deleting the original files. And you can use copy and paste to transfer things from the Pool to your real project.

Typical formats seem to be .CUBE / .3DL / .CSP , and I would guess that CUBE is the most common one.

Wouldn't it be fine if the future version of PTE would support LUTs (color lookup tables) for images and videos?

In this particular case I would recommend "Lanczos Interpolation".

I've just had a look at Paul's image at a screen seize of 1804x1200, using XnView, IrfanView and PTE. All three programs show different Moiré effects. They seem to use different methods for resampling. For this particular image, XnView is slightly better than PTE, while IrfanView is significantly better, almost avoiding the Moiré effect. Resizing the image to 1804x1200 in Photoshop and viewing the result at 100% gives about the same Moiré effect as with XnView.
