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.

Thanks, you are right! It's so interesting, - right today I've finally found and fixed one visual bug when sometimes Preview is not shown when you click on a slide. I wasn't able to reproduce it again, but fixed exact reason of this problem. And with your help I now can be sure of that it's fixed and it's a same bug I'll upload updated beta very soon. Al, excuse me that I've missed your first message about this bug! Also couldn't you explain me more about "glitch that keeps occurring on the thumbnail view" problem you've mentioned above? Scott, Thank you, it will be fixed in the new beta #6

Thanks, I plan to improve work with synchronization in the next version.

PicturesToExe v4.30 beta #5 is released http://www.wnsoft.com/apr/apr_beta.zip (1.4 Mb) What's new in v4.30 beta #5: + It's possible to add your own copyright logo to all slides. The best visual results with 32-bit .bmp images with alpha channel.

Yes, you can easily find this Order ID in the letter from RegNow.

Fred, thanks for finding this bug! I've also see this bug when try to rotate several pictures at a time. It will be fixed very soon! Concerning auto-rotate feature. I've tested how it works with Canon A80 digital camera. By default, the camera will not add record that photo should be rotated and I turned on this option manually in the menu of the digital camera. Please check up this moment again. Download and run this test application which will display Exif info about orientation of a photo: http://www.wnsoft.com/beta/ExifTest.exe (125 Kb)

To brenwestfall Please ask here, I'll try to help you. Marco, place an order for the necessary number of copies, then write to orders@wnsoft.com and request to send you necessary keys for the names you wish. Please don't forget to include Order ID.

Al, there is no practical limitation for a count of slides in the thumbnails view. You can work with 10000...50000 slides and more. It required additional time to make it possible. This table view or thumbnails view is fully our own component, we didn't use any standard controls.

Thanks , but please don't forget about critical remarks, because we know that we must reach many new important features. Ken, our WN2's team works much more hard, because I can often see results, but they're developing WinNavigator 2.0 already more than 2 years. I never can imagine such patience!

Yes, I remember about this important moment. Now I've completed almost all works on the new view and will return to this and another moments. I hope to realize it. Play button always starts playback from the beginning, but "Resume" (same button) after pause always works as you mentioned. Also Ctrl+R or Preview button in this Cust. synch. window will start slide-show from the selected transition points, as I again checked up this moment. Dana, I always remember that you told me many times about multi-select. As they say it required two years

PicturesToExe v4.30 beta #4 is released http://www.wnsoft.com/apr/apr_beta.zip (1.4 Mb) What's new in v4.30 beta #4: + Added "Use last slide to show transition to the desktop" option (see "Screen" tab). + You can rotate pictures. It's a lossless rotation and it provides exactly original quality. Open popup menu in the File panel or Slide list to rotate picture(s). + Also portrait JPEG pictures with EXIF (shooted by digital cameras which write orientation of a photography) will be shown rotated automatically. + Vastly improved Push and Slide effects. I hope that it will works more smooth now on various PCs. I'll closely work on the Cust. synch. window in the next beta. p.s. please let me know if something works wrong, or if some new function still should be reworked.

Ok, I recently added 'n' key to the beta #3. But you always could do this using Ins key
