Igor Posted March 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 + Timeline is integrated to the main window now. - Pressing "Timeline" button switches between Slide list and Timeline. - You can drop new slides to Timeline from File list. - Parameters of the timeline mode are located in Main menu | View | Timeline Options. - Waveform now displays mixed left/right channels. But you can turn on independent view of left/right channels waveforms. See timeline options in Main menu. - "Autospread slides along music" option moved to Project options | Main tab. + Slide list displays pictures of real slides. (See Main menu | View | Advanced Options | "Show real slides in Slide list" option) + Preview displays real slide at top-right part of the main window. (See Main menu | View | Advanced Options | "Show real slide in mini-player" option) + Added mini-player to the main window. You can quickly play your slideshow in this small preview window (press Play/Stop button) and quickly see any part of a slideshow. + Main window now displays duration of a slideshow (in minutes and seconds). + Other improved view of the main window: - Picture/Sound/Comment fields are moved to the top part of the window. - Reworked pictures of a folder, improved view of a selected slide. - Reworked view of a drag'n'drop cursor in Slide list. - Other small improvements. + New Welcome screen (when you first time starts PicturesToExe). + Added support of media keys on a keyboard: Play/Pause, Stop, Next/Preview slide + New burning library in VideoBuilder and increased reliability.This list doesn't includes improvements of "Objects and animation" window.

Some changes for current version, some for future versions.Also we're working on Mac OSX version of PicturesToExe.Also I will continue adding of new features during next two months.New version will includes some other interesting features which I wouldn't announce right now.

Antbrewer Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 Hello Igor,Thank you for replying to my post of yesterday.And also thanks for listing the proposed improvements to the next beta version. With so much going on I'm sure my small request can wait for a later version.It is so impressive when the users get a chance to have such an input into the released version of such great software.I'm sure Bill Gates didn't ask his public?Thanks for all your hard work.Anthony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xahu34 Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Hello admin1,thank you for the information on the new version. Would it be possible to offer the windowed mode in a fullscreen variant with an aspect ratio as input. This would be helpful for users with Win XP and ATI graphics cards.Best regardsXaver H.Munich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted March 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Xaver,I'll publish 5.12 with ATI gamma fix at nearest time. I hope it will help.Please let wait for results with this version. If it will not help, we'll discuss again this option.Also we plan to add video export for iPhone, iPod and Youtube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henri.R Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Hello Igor, thank you and your collegues for all the new improvements you mentioned for version 5.2. Can't wait to test it ;-)You said: "Waveform now displays mixed left/right channels. But you can turn on independent view of left/right channels waveforms".Does this mean still one stereo timeline or do we have then the so desired (and needed for advanced sound synchronisation) double timeline for music, sounds and/or narrating?regards,Henri.

Igor Posted March 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 We renamed v5.2 to version 5.5 because it includes a lot of improvements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LumenLux Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 Igor, we so appreciate you and your dedicated workers! I look at your list for 5.5 and wonder "how can it be", that you can even design such software and keep it all so well coordinated. And then to be able to implement the design so the program works like it is intended. Thank you all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonemason Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 Thanks Igor very impressive list, I still hope for "Select slides to right" to be added to right click menu in timeline view.RegardsGeoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henri.R Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 Thanks Igor very impressive list, I still hope for "Select slides to right" to be added to right click menu in timeline view.GeoffI like to second Geoff in this matter: select slides to right or left is a very useful function and very normal in other (I admit, more expensive) slideshow applications...Henri.
