kippnkatie Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 There needs to be a way that the slideshows can be played on a secondary monitor or display. This would be very useful for people that are running a secondary monitor wit a projector and then have there primary monitor to do other tasks. This may also just be a windows thing but it would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alrobin Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 Hello, Kipp,Welcome to the Forum!There is a way to do this, but it may not be satisfactory in all instances.If you select "windowed mode" in "Proj Ops / Screen / Screen Options" instead of "Fullscreen", you can then drag the resulting window in which the slideshow is playing over to the second monitor.

bjokje Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 I've used the windowing techniue earlier just for this purpose, but I really didn't like it. You don't have the same dynamic sizing of the slideshow as the standard non-windowed mode, and it doesn't look very professional when you start and stop these windowed showes by moving them it and out of the public visible sreen. I have to be honest to say that this was the main reason stopping using picturetoexe 1 - 2 years back. (also the lack of panning and zooming..... which now seems to be very well implemented)For a while I've used other products, for instance the very simple Microsoft product Photostory 2.0 to generate wmv-format video, but I've missed many of the more advanced features in PTE, so now I'll give it a new try. I probably will upgrade to the delux version and use that to generate DVD.....and then I can control it to be viewed on a seconday monitor. I do wonder though what's the hard thing about giving such a option, is..... It must be a very esay task to solve, compared to all the other very advanced functions that these clever programmers make in PTE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
