Barry, No worries. Have a pleasant journey.

Hi, Can you explain in more details this problem?

Hi Barry, Try a new version 10.5.8 Beta (Build 3): https://files.wnsoft.com/test/pteavstudio-setup.exe

Hi Barry, Thanks, we'll check the code on Monday. I confirm this issue.

Hi, I tested with VPN / Phoenix, Arizona. "Aspects of the Algarve" was download within 25 seconds and "HILLS AND DALES for MACS" in 10 seconds. The same result for VPN / San Francisco. Our normal Internet connection is 50 Mbit. What is your normal Internet connection speed? Also check again downloading and let me know when it lost a connection for downloading? After 5 minutes or less/more?

Hi, PTE AV Studio 10.5.8 Beta is available. What's New: Fixed issue with editing author’s description in a slide style. Fixed problem with reading IPTC tags from certain JPEG images. Fixed rare problem with copying a slide which had a certain custom transition. Download: For Windows: https://files.wnsoft.com/test/pteavstudio-setup.exe For Mac: https://files.wnsoft.com/test/PTE-AV-Studio.dmg

Hi, I very apologize for these issues with download speed. I remember that you're located in USA? I'll check downloading using VPN/USA service later this week.

Did you try to download an EXE show or MP4 video of "Aspects of the Algarve"? Try again to download MP4 video from this link: https://www.slideshowclub.com/files/file/644-aspects-of-the-algarve…/ Let me know about a result.

Hi, When the download appears as "cancelled" in Chrome try to click a small button ^ on the right side of download caption (at the bottom part of Chrome window) and choose Save file. Will it help?

Kieron, I'm glad that you resolved this problem. You can send me a project with this slide for testing.

Kieron, I just read your previous reply above. Does this problem occurs with a certain project, or with other projects, too? If the problem occurs only with one project, please send me this .pte project (only one file). We'll check it.

What exactly version of PTE you use? Do you use twop instances of PTE to copy and paste slides/objects, or one copy of PTE and switch between projects?

Hi Kieron, Did you try to restart Windows?

Hi, Try these excellent slide styles and transitions for PTE AV Studio: https://diaporashop.com/en/boutique/ P.S. We plan to include more built-in slide styles in future version 11.0.

Marueen, Not at all. No worries

If Maureen can open this project in PTE 10.5 and rebuild Safe EXE, this show can be played on Mac.

Ken, Try the following solution. Open the Objects and animation editor for one slide. Press Alt+S shortcut to switch between Fit and Cover modes of an image. Then you can go to a next/previous slide by pressing F11/F12 key. Usually main image object is selected by default and you can quick switch between slides and change Fit/Cover mode. I used this approach many years for my personal projects or for testing. It works really fast and simple. Also consider a suggestion of Jill about use of a slide style - Image - Cover/Fit Screen. Future version 11.0 will allow to apply a slide style for multiple selected slides keeping their order (as an option). Note, that applying a slide style keeps only original image replacing all objects on a slide.

Hi Ken, When you install any version of PTE AV Studio (or PicturesToExe), the installation window offers you to associate this version with .pte project files. It means that when you double click on a .pte project file in Windows Explorer (or click on a shortcut on the desktop), a project file will be opened with this certain version of PTE. You can simply re-install PTE AV Studio to update project file association for Windows. It will keep all your settings of PTE AV Studio, templates, styles or projects.

Hi Roger, You can try WINE emulator. Or install Windows 7/8/10/11 in VirtualBox.

Thanks, Tom. Good news.

Gary, write about this story to editors in some popular computer mass media in USA. It's really funny bug in Photoshop which lasts at least 11 years.

Gary, It's definitely old bug in Adobe products. I could reproduce it with my old copy of Adobe Photoshop Elements 11. If I take any JPEG and rename it to SA-QuitoGalap-001.jpg or even simply SA-Quito.jpg Photoshop crashes immediately after use of Open With command in Windows Explorer. You need to convince Adobe support to investigate this issue P.S. This problem is not related with PTE AV Studio.

Hi Gary, Thanks, I'll try to reproduce this issue.

Hi Peter, I'm glad to see you again on this forum!

Thanks, we'll add an option to add/remove vignetting for Blur. Regarding the Blur with sharp border. We need to think, because this kind of Blur is more complex for implementing in the code. I'll explain in another topic later. Also we plan to add Blur with bokeh (camera lense blur) in this version.
