Yes, tool tips can be added, only it will require to send these new words for translators. For usual not synchronized presentation I can make possible to don't use last slide. But for synchronized slide-shows it can be important to use last slide, because music will finish exactly when desktop fully appears after Fade effect, for example. So for use of this option you need to add special blank slide to the end of slide-show. What you think about this interesting moment?

PicturesToExe v4.30 beta #11 is released http://www.wnsoft.com/apr/apr_beta.zip (1.4 Mb) What's new in v4.30 beta #11: + PicturesToExe keeps files of waveforms for all time while you work with the program. + PicturesToExe keeps visible and highlighted selected picture after switching between fullscreen view and windowed view. * Fixed several visual bugs. * Fixed two bugs with sorting order in some cases and with "Reverse order" option.

Thank you all! Aleksey fixed two bugs with sorting in his module. And I fixed another mentioned bugs. Please try now how sorting works. Especially beta #11 keeps and scrolls the list to exactly show selected picture after switching from/or to fullscreen view.

Ok, we'll try to do something with this moment.

Ok, but I will not promiss exactly

PicturesToExe v4.30 beta #10 is released http://www.wnsoft.com/apr/apr_beta.zip (1.4 Mb) What's new in v4.30 beta #10: + You can see full screen preview of a picture by pressing of "Space" button. It especially can be useful in full screen mode of thumbnails view (light table). + It's possible to move selected slides to the end of the list (Ctrl+End) or to the top of the list (Ctrl+Home). Or see popup menu. + You can open for editing current picture by Ctrl+W hotkey. + PicturesToExe will automatically update thumbnails and preview of pictures which you modified in graphical editor. + New icons for buttons T, V, F. + Updated several languages files. * Fixed several bugs. p.s. Al, this beta fixes that bug when PTE closes after "Open picture" function. Also this beta watches for the pictures which were modified to display their updated version. p.p.s. probably we'll try to to improve sorting in the next beta. I'll reply on recent postings (concerning some bug-reports and suggestions) on Monday.

1) I just checked with new folder where I've added these two JPG pictures. And Seq1a.jpg shown first and Seq3.jpg after. 2) Of course! We've realized it two days ago. File panel and preview area will show updated pictureS. And Slide list also will update thumbnail if you use "Open picture" (e.g. for editing in Photoshop) for particular selected slide.

I agree with you, but it will take additional time. I'll realize it in the next version. Also it will possible to show waveforms for all tracks.

I very glad to see you, Harold! 1) Fullscreen preview of a picture will be realized. Thanks that you told about this. Double-click or Enter already used and I can't change it. Maybe middle mouse button and some hotkey? 2) I'll try to add action to move selected slides to the end of slide list. 3) Dragging of slides to another application currently impossible and it requires some time to find a way to realize it. But maybe just I add a hotkey as temporary solution to open selected picture? 4) I'll fix that moment when preview is not updated after switching from full screen view! Al, thank you for this idea! Aleksey right today wrote this code for me! Ken, It's a peculiarity of Microsoft Help system. They require path to .chm help files without symbol '#' in the names of folders. Al, I just sent you email with special test to solve problem with "Open picture" function.

PicturesToExe v4.30 beta #9 is released http://www.wnsoft.com/apr/apr_beta.zip (1.4 Mb) What's new in v4.30 beta #9: + Updated several language files. * Fixed bug with thumbnails view of Slide list without text labels after PTE startup. * Fixed bug of previous betas of v4.30 with "Play songs in random mode" option in not synchronized slide-shows. Music didn't repeat when playlist was fully played. It's fixed now.

Pushu, Please excuse me for my long absence in this thread. I think it's a Visual editor's bug and I'll try to solve this problem. 1) First, please open your slide-show, select that necessary slide and try to open Visual editor. Make sure that lock up occurs. 2) Open this project again, click "Save As" and give another .pte project file name. 3) Now delete all slides except of slide where problem occurs. And remove music files from playlist. 4) Save this project. 5) Make sure with Vis. editor that the problem exists. 6) Please open PTE and open this project again. 7) Save this project as template (press Ctrl+T). 8) Please browse folder where PicturesToExe is installed and find there "Templates" sub-folder. Then find folder "YourTemplate.Pt" where we saved this template. Pack this folder into ZIP archive and I would very grateful to you if you could send it to me. I just sent you email with my address. I hope probably send you the fix today-tomorrow, if problem will be easily reproduced.

Thank you! Now I also easily can see this visual bug! It always happens on startup when Slide list has option to show thumbnails *without* text labels. It will be quickly fixed today.

Thank you! I've reproduced this situation and it really a bug of previous betas of v4.30. It happens only if you set "Play songs in random order" option in not synchronized slide-shows. The playlist will be fully played and then music will not repeat. I'll publish beta #9 with the fix very soon.

Dennis, I just sent you email with request about testing.

PicturesToExe v4.30 beta #8 is released http://www.wnsoft.com/apr/apr_beta.zip (1.4 Mb) What's new in v4.30 beta #8: + Various minor improvements. * Fixed several small bugs. About rare glitch with too large images in the thumbnails view. Al, I've tried here in beta #8 to fix possible reason of this visual bug. Couldn't you please watch how it will work now? And give me some additional info about it: 1) It happened in the Slide list, or in the File panel, or in both lists? 2) Did the problem come on PTE startup? If yes, will it repeat if you right now close the program and start it again? If again yes, please send me your apr.ini file from PTE's folder. 3) What view has this problem (Classical, Horizontal, Vertical)? 4) The problem happened after switching Slide list between thumbnails/table, or when switch between views, or between fullscreen light table/usual view?

Sorry! I missed this moment with Space bar. Now it should works as usually in beta #8. Only as earlier "Space" doesn't work if you clicked some other buttons "View" or "Insert", etc. It's standard thing in Windows when focused button acts when you press "Space" button. To prevent it, I can disable processing of another buttons via keyboard (Tab, Space, arrow keys) keeping only mouse. As in Visual editor. Den, I've uploaded beta #8b with small modification where transition points can be dragged more accurately on short distances. http://www.wnsoft.com/beta/pte430b8b.zip What you think about it? About play-cursor. I'm not sure that it can be realized to drag this cursor. Al, please read my request (about glitch with thumbnails) in the new topic (beta #8)

My friend Sergey completed 50% of waveform, programmer, too. He've worked on the new sound player in v4.14 and on AVI video output in v4.20.

PicturesToExe v4.30 beta #7 is released http://www.wnsoft.com/apr/apr_beta.zip (1.4 Mb) What's new in v4.30 beta #7: + Improvements in the "Customize synchronization" window: > Waveform is moved below of the time-line. > You can choose color of the waveform. See popup menu via "View" button. > It's possible to change height of the window and make waveform larger. > Mouse wheel works for scrolling of the time-line now. > To scale time-line you need to use mouse wheel with pressed Ctrl key now. + Improved "Welcome screen" which appears after installation of PTE. It helps to choose necessary view of PicturesToExe. * Fixed several small bugs. p.s. I'd like to leave another improvements of the waveform for the next version.

Thanks, we'll discuss technical moment how it can be realized. The idea is interesting.

You are really right! I've reproduced this problem on my PC. It happens when PTE load thumbnails of large photos and you click on a slide/file to see preview. We've optimized this moment and now it should works without such delay. Please try newest beta #7 which I'll upload within a hour.

Or F2 key

Please can I ask you to download and check up several beta versions of v4.30? http://www.wnsoft.com/beta/Test_v430.zip Unpack it into some new folder and then run every .exe file and let me know how scrolling will work in the Project options. It will vastly help us. Also have you any special mouse utilities, software and What configuration of your PC?

It's a very strange problem. Did you seen same problem with previous betas? Please check up again with v4.20 and with earlier betas of v4.30.

PicturesToExe v4.30 beta #6 is released http://www.wnsoft.com/apr/apr_beta.zip (1.4 Mb) What's new in v4.30 beta #6: + You can go to a next or to a previous slide keeping Pause mode in the synchronized slide-shows. + Each view (Classical, Horizontal and Vertical) keeps visual settings. + "Option" of the main menu is renamed to "View". + Improvements in the "Customize synchronization" window: > The window can be resized; > Transition point to the last slide is shown in more gray color. + Various improvements. + Rename hotkeys are changed to Ctrl+F and Alt+F. * Fixed several bugs. p.s. I would very grateful if you could in depth test how works the new pause mode in synchronized slide-shows.

I just uploaded beta #6 which fixed bug with selection. Al, I'll try to find reason of that glitch in the next betas.
