You're right. It will be fixed in v5.00

A good idea! I've added it you my TODO list. Maybe in v5.00 or later.

Absolutely any Windows. Win2000, XP (Pro or Home) no difference for quality of slide-show or PTE. Even you can use old Win98.

So it works fine now on with VirtualPC for Mac? Ken, Please add this moment to your FAQ.

Mike, Thanks. We also have many ideas concerning plug-ins and even more for more fine customization of slide-show and usage of objects. But all after v5.00

Bev, I've sent you yesterday a letter with a key, but it seems that you didn't receive it yet. I suppose you mailing program or ISP just blocks all letters with attached files, or with particular files. I again sent you the letter to your another email address at gmail.com

Please write me to int_support@ (...) wnsoft.com if you still didn't receive the key and I'll immediately send it again. Apparently attached file with the key was blocked by Outlook program.

How to run PicturesToExe under VirtualPc on MacOS X. Solution. (This tutorial I've found on AsProtect Support Forum.) ---------------------------------- Start the Virtual PC session as normal. In the Mac Finder, navigate to the 'Documents' folder in your 'Home' folder. Open the 'Virtual PC Scripts' folder. Open the 'Toggle Compatibility Mode' script by double clicking it. The script opens in Script Editor. Click the 'Run' button at the top of the script window. Click 'OK' to the informational dialog that appears. Click 'Enable' in the next dialog. Return to the PC session, which is now running in compatibility mode and will be slower, and run the PicturesToExe as normal. When complete, close the program and return the Virtual PC to normal mode by re-running the script above and selecting 'Disable' at the appropriate time. Note that this "compatibility mode" is not the same as the Windows 2000 and XP Compatibility Modes, which PicturesToExe is generally incompatible with. Hope this helps others --------------------------------------- p.s. as I said earlier, it's necessary for main program of PicturesToExe. Created slide-shows works fine without additional steps.

Ok, maybe it will possible to make compatibility with VirtualPC for Mac. I'll let you know during several days.

Yes, - all images, objects, logo, etc will support PNG file format.

I mistakenly used "transparent BMP" name. More exactly say that already PTE v4.xx (for objects) and future v5.00 (for objects and main image of a slides) support semi-transparent with partial translucency 32-bit BMP images with alpha-channel. There is no explanation why Photoshop resets alpha-channel during saving to 32-bit BMP file. And saved BMP looks as without alpha-channel at all. (PixBuilder Studio correctly saves such images to BMP) However Photoshop can correctly saves semi-transparent with partial translucency images to PNG file. And future v5.00 will able to display these images as main image of slides or as objects.

I mean 32-bit BMP in both cases. 32-bit BMP contains alpha-channel. Please wait a little bit, I'll show slide-show which illustrates the power of 32-bit BMP or 32-bit PNG images for slide-show purposes.

Current PTE v4.xx support semi-transparent 32-bit BMP as objects. Photoshop can't save transparent BMP, I don't know why. You can do it in PixBuilder Studio, as Tom suggested. Next PicturesToExe v5.00 will support transparent BMP and transparent PNG, so you will able to use Photoshop to prepare such images.

As I know, PicturesToExe's slide-shows work fine via VirtualPC on Mac. But main program of PicturesToExe doesn't work. VirtualPC for Mac not fully emulates PC. However please try newest v4.46 (maybe, maybe it will help). http://www.wnsoft.com/apr/apr/zip

I just prepared small update - PicturesToExe v4.46 http://www.wnsoft.com/apr/apr.zip (1.5 MB) * Fixed possible problem when in fullscreen Preview there was no sound. * Fixed problem with no sound if start EXE file with slide-show from folder which contains Japanese or Arabic symbols in the name. * After "Save as" of a project, PicturesToExe will ask for path to EXE file on "Create" button click.

slee I've sent you new letter. Please read it.

Gilbert, I just tested MP3 file, you've sent me. PicturesToExe plays visually, but no sound. Same result in WinAmp player and in Microsoft Media Player 10. Also Media Player locked up at 2:38 position. All shows that it's an incorrectly encoded MP3 file. Personally I use terrific free MP3 encoder - Exact Audio Copy. It always works fine with perfect result. Maybe other members on the forum can give you more advices and help with questions of encoding of MP3.

You can freely use this beta #3 - it contains minimal changes. Mainly I only use another filepath for placing of EXE with Preview.

Ron, it seems that you downloaded previous file of beta #2, please download beta #3: http://www.wnsoft.com/test/pte446b3.zip

I grateful to you Al, and to Ron for the help! By the way, this v4.46 asks new EXE file name on pressing "Create" button after "Save As" project. I'll prepare beta #4 with installer a little later.

Al, Ron, I've prepared v4.46 beta #3 which should solve the problem with music in the Preview. http://www.wnsoft.com/test/pte446b3.zip Please confirm how it works now. p.s. just sound card doesn't work at all if we run EXE file of application (Preview) from Windows temp folder! It is an amazed bug in drivers, or in Windows. I can't exactly determine. Maybe even some kind of copyright protection.

Al, Ron, It seems that when EXE file with Preview located in the Windows Temp folder PTE may not open sound output. If it possible, download this test. Press "Open1" button and let me know about result, close window, then press "Open2" button and do as above. And finally 'Open3' button. http://www.wnsoft.com/test/WaveOutTest.zip
