Hi Barry, I confirm the problem with copying text from PTE to another text editor. But I see slightly different problem - all copied text lines are being converted into an one text line. We'll fix it. Thanks! P.S. I moved this topic to Troubleshooting.

Hi, Please can you reproduce this problem and tell me how to see this error?

Hello Shirley, Call "Save As" for this project to remove this text from the caption. "Recovered Project" title appears if PicturesToExe crashed or it was terminated with Task Manager. Let me know exact version of PicturesToExe which you use. And tell me more about error messages which you discovered earlier.

Hello George, I'm glad that your solved this problem. Probably it was related with incorrect work of one (or both) antiviruses. I'm not sure that 2 antivirus can work correctly at same time.

George, I apologize for this problem with slow run of EXE files with presentations on your PC. 1. Do you assign a custom icon for an EXE file (in the Project options -> Advanced tab) ? If yes, try to remove an icon and re-build the EXE file. 2. What antivirus software you use on your computer? Try to temporarily turn it off to compare speed of running EXE files. 3. Do you run the EXE file from a local hard drive (or SSD) or from network drive (WD MyCloud, etc) ?

Example: 1. Text with 50% opacity 2. Text with 100% opacity in a mask container with 50% opacity. Sample project: TextOpacity.pte TextOpacity.pte

Tom, There is a temporary complicated solution: Use a mask for a text with a shadow (100% opacity) and then adjust opacity of a mask container.

Tom, I think it will be possible in PTE 10. We plan to add a inheriable (optionally) opacity for child objects. It allows to create an effect which you want to see.

Gary, I plan to try again re-configure the server and increase the limit to 273 MB.

Dave, I cleared some old messages. It should be OK now. Please try again. Thanks,

Hi, Yes, we need to use exactly same version of PTE for all EXE files. It's related with compatibility.

PicturesToExe 9.0.12 is available: Fixed problem with “Go to slide...” command if “Slide name” (in the Slide options) was cleared manually. Fixed problem with sorting of some custom slide styles in alphabetical order. Fixed problem with changing of a text caption for “Blank…” slide styles in “Caption” category. Fixed problem with incorrect view of custom transition effects which have multiple variants in executable files for PC or Mac. Fixed problem with incorrect show of transition effects for slides with “Default transition” in some rare cases. Fixed problem with incorrect indexes of main images after copying and pasting objects to another slide. Fixed problem with a position of the cursor in a text box for a Text object in the Objects and animation editor. Increased height of a text box in the Objects and animation editor for High DPI screen mode (125% and more).

Dave, Yes, it's unofficial feature of Slide styles window.

Barry, Thanks for letting me know. This error is not related with a test version 9.0.12. I think it could happen because antivirus or some software program temporarily locked an access to one of files during creating of an EXE file. We'll try to catch this situation to show more correct error message.

OK, great!

Thanks, Jean-Cyprien, Have a pleasant weekend!

Barry, Please try a new test version: http://files.wnsoft.com/test/picturestoexe-setup.exe If everything is OK, I will publish final v9.0.12 on Monday.

I'm glad! Thanks for the confirmation.

Hi Jean-Cyprien, Please try the updated version: http://files.wnsoft.com/test/picturestoexe-setup.exe Does it work as you expect with main image indexes?

Jose, PTE 9 uses same video encoder as PTE 8, it's only newer version. We use default parameters for the video encoder and we set only a few parameters. Anyway we can't do anything with a problem which you described. Sorry. As I understand this situation, it's not guaranteed that any two MP4 video file (even encoded with same parameters) can be joined correctly. I will check again with different parameters later. Try to reproduce this problem with as possible short projects and then send me these 2 projects with all files in a ZIP archive.

Jose, I performed quick testing of MP4 Joiner and MKV Toolnix. Both software utilities could work with PTE 9 MP4 files. I created two short test projects (2 slides). Default video parameters (1920 x 1080, High quality, 30p). Can you perform same test with 2 short projects? I'm not sure that MP4 Joiner should work correctly with MP4 files which were encoded with 2 pass mode.

Dave, We fixed this problem today. Please try a new test version: http://files.wnsoft.com/test/picturestoexe-setup.exe

Hi Jean-Cyprien, Thanks, I've understood.

Jean-Cyprien, OK, I understood now. How important to keep original indexes?

If I insert copied main image (1) to a blank slide (without any main images) I get main image index: 1. If copy main image with index 2 after pasting it to a blank slide the image becomes with index 1. Do you mean this problem?
