"Wait for a key press to show next slide" option is not ready in Beta 9. Please wait for Beta 10.

What new in this Beta:

+ Added "Run Slideshow with Return" command for making of menus.

+ Added "Pause" button to "Object and animation" editor.

+ Added "Crypt images/music against extracting from EXE file" option. See Main menu | View | Advanced options. (Enabled by default). This option was added to Beta 7. Since Beta 9 you can turn it off if you wish.

+ Various small improvements.

* Fixed small bugs with "Run Slideshow" command.

* Fixed crashing of the program at 99% of creating of H.264 video. (It was announced for the previous Beta 8 but the problem still existed.)

* Fixed bug of previous betas when error message "Resource avi_apravs not found" could appear.

What new in version 5.6:

+ Added export of slideshow as a video. (See Main menu -> Create)

- Export of HD video for playback on PC, Mac.

- Export of video for iPhone/iPod.

- Publish online on Youtube.

- Publish online on Vimeo with HD quality.

+ New 3D transition effects between slides:

- Added "Flip 3D" effect.

- Added "Swap 3D" effect.

- Reworked "Curling of page 3D" effect. Set large radius parameter to get completely new effects.

+ Improvements in Objects and Animation window:

- Mask objects for creating of special effects. You can apply several Masks to one image object.

- Music and sounds when you click "Play" button for preview.

- Added "Anti-shimmering (mipmapping)" option for Image and Text objects. This option prevents appearing of shimmering when object has zoom from small size to large size.

- Improved view of "Action on mouse click" list.

- Added new action "Run slideshow".

- Added "Pause" button.

! "Original size" mode of objects has been replaced. Now use "Fixed size of slide (in pixels)" mode in Project options | Screen tab. And "Size/position in pixels" button in Common tab of object properties.

! "Run application" options has moved to the last page of Project options (More tab).

+ Added new commands "Run Slideshow" and "Run Slideshow with Return" to Project options | "More" tab and as an action for objects. This option highly recommended if you want to start another slideshow from current one and for building of menu. It will guarantee flawless start of next slideshow from current one. In fact a series of slideshows will work as one large slideshow that provides optimal memory usage.

+ Added "Color outside slide area" option (Project options | Screen tab). By default if you run widescreen slideshow (16:9) on 4:3 display you see black strips around the slide. Now you can choose this color.

+ Added menu on Create button.

+ Added "Crypt images/music against extracting from EXE file" option. See Main menu | View | Advanced options. (Enabled by default).

+ Improved installer of PicturesToExe, multi-lingual interface.

+ "Protection of slideshow" options has moved to the last page of Project options (Advanced tab).

! "Disable F1 key to show help window" has moved to "Customize help window" dialog (Main menu | Project).

+ Various improvements.

* Fixed an old bug (since v5.5) when after renaming of a main image in Slide list or File panel MiniPlayer didn't display renamed image.

* Fixed an old bug (since v5.1) when changing of display resolution, locking of PC or Sleep mode applied during encoding of video caused visual defects in created video file.

"Added "Pause" button to "Object and animation" editor. "

Can anyone point me toward this - I can't find it?

Dave,

By pushing the "play" button it will change in "pause". Also a "stop" button is showing in place of the "<" and ">+" buttons.

Pushing a second time on the "pause" button will ""stop"" the cursor on that place. Pushing the "stop" button will bring the cursor to the start position.

Also in the main screen you have the same action, cq pushing "play" become "pause". In the timeline the cursor will ""stop"" on that place.

When you push the "stop" button here, it will bring the cursor to the last starting place of your cursor (not to the beginning of the timeline).

Greetings,

Cor

Hi Igor

When you are looking at Beta 11 could you consider linking the position of the curser in the time line window with the same position in the slide view window. I find it frustrating when switching from one to the other to find that I have to search along the window to find the position I was at in the previous window. I hope that I have explained this sufficiently for you.

This request has my support. I, too, find it frustrating to have to scroll backwards and forwards to position myself on the same image that I left when I switched views.

regards,

Peter
