Firstly, may I say hi to all those who remember me from the days when I was known on here as PGA and was, for a time, one of the moderator team. I'm no longer active in the world of AV. Over the past 10 years I have become a published author in the Local History genre. My specialist subject is the alum industry that used to exist in my area. Arising from my knowledge in that subject, I have been a contributor to two TV programme series that aired on UK TV channels. I still make use of PTE, as a tool to help manage my research notes and activities. The problem I have is as follows: Using PTE v9 I could set up "Action on mouse click... Run Application or Open File..." to accept a shortcut file as the target of the action. That shortcut could point to either a real file or to a folder. Everything worked as I wanted it to, provided that the shortcuts and PTE-generated executable file were in the same folder. Using PTE AV Studio, I cannot get PTE to accept the shortcut file name as the target of the action. Nor can I find a way to open a folder via any "Action on mouse click.." option. I am open to any ideas on getting this to work. I have six active projects. Each has a "workbench" application, originally built using PTE v9. Each workbench, some with multiple slides, has between 20 and 80 text objects with Actions associated. At present, I seem to be faced with having to rebuild all six workbenches. I'm hoping that I have overlooked something in PTE AV Studio and that one of you can open my eyes to the solution. Thanks in anticipation.

Yes and no! "Workbench" is my term for the EXE file created from a PTE project that is intended to support one of my historical research projects.

Hi Peter You were my inspiration back in 2007 to buy PTE, nice to hear you are still AVing. Rosy.
