Visual indication of wait for operator action


Recommended Posts

My travel shows geenerally use exe files, and run smoothly without my intervantion.  At times, however, there is a slide which is set to wait for a keywtroke before going on to the next slide.  As an aging presenter, I don't always realise what is going on (or NOT going on!).

If I had foreseen the challenges of age, I might have included a visual clue in the relevant slides.  To retro-fit this idea to dozens of shows, I would be facing a mountainous task.  (Sadly, I am no longer able to climb mountains).

May I suggest two solutions?

(a) a Project Option to trigger a visual clue when waiting for a keywtroke  or

(b) an object type, available in O&A, to serve the same  purpose.

Do i have a seconder?

Perhaps this is something you can do yourself.

Place a small text text file or object on the image to fade in and then fade out that says continue or keystroke for a reminder?

I am sure there are other solutions.

Good luck,

Kieron

Do your old shows run with the latest version of PTE? Have you got the latest version installed? 

Rosy.

Interesting question Rosy!, and not easy to answer.

I need to submit a problem report about confusion betaeen 10.0 and 10.5.  Might not get around to that for a day or two.

You will still have to retrofit all your shows no matter what the solution.

Kieron:(

With my Project Option suggestioj, it would need only a tiny change to each PTE file, not the enormous task of finding each offending slide and addding an object.
