Greetings, Ha! Couldn't see the forest for the trees! (And I don't use Dark Mode). Thanks... But do you know what the maximum size of an upload is? Seems like it is still 125 mb. Gary

Greetings, Ok...I give up. Where is it? I've looked around but don't see any link. Gary

Greetings Dirk, Thanks for the reply but you might notice the original post was made back in 2017. I don't think there is a Slideshow Club anymore. I think the confusion in my post back then is I used 'mbs' when it should have been just 'mb'. The problem was with the size of the video file, not the data rate. But thanks anyway. Gary

Greetings Tom, I am trying this out. But I want to send a file from my PC to my wife's PC, which is on the same network. But my search for 'Nearby devices' does not get a list as you get. What am I doing wrong? Gary

Greetings Nelson, Yes, this was one of the first methods I used a long time ago to show a driving route on a map. Maybe I got the idea from you. But, my driving route was so zig-zag, it was way too difficult to really do it easily. But it did work OK. But this method only shows the actual route. I like, with RouteGenerator, I can put an object...car, boat, plane, hiker... on the route. More fun... Gary

Greetings, Framing lets you animate (S, X, Y) within the borders of the image. For example, I like to Zoom my images to, say, 95% and put a thin border around it. Then, with Framing, I can animate the image within the thin border. Gary

Greetings Paul, I just re-positioned the map created with the RouteGenerator each time using Framing and adding a Keyframe for each new position. Hope this helps. Not sure if I did anything else since I did it a long time ago. Let me know if you have any other questions... Gary

Greetings, Yes, but you can be more creative using PTE's pan and zoom on the map. Really easy. Gary (Added Later- actually it is not the Zoom/Pan but the Framing, S, X and Y to reposition the map)

Greetings, I had sent you the solution but not sure where it went. Here it is again. (Oh, I see I sent it to the other guy, I think). I upgraded to the current version, 1.12.0, of RG and it shows how to prevent the scrolling/panning you are experiencing. I had an older version so I had no idea why you were having this problem. Gary

Greetings Igor, I took a look at a 2001 project that had 4 different shows created from it. All 4 of them showed incorrect paths in the 'File names' window. I changed the 'File name' path to some other path, but did not do a 'Save as', as you mentioned. Yes, the 'File name' window did change to the other incorrect path. So it is working as you described. But this is an unexpected result. I don't think this should occur. I would like to be able to set a default path so no matter where I might browse in the 'Fine name' window, the project will always revert back to the default 'File name' path that was set when it is re-opened. The idea of putting every file used in a project into a default single folder should be the basic setting for PTE projects. Sure, people can change it, but it is a real pain to suddenly have to go search for the correct 'File name' path and resave it to get it re-set. If the 'Slide list' shows the correct images when the project is opened, so should the 'File name' window. Gary

Greetings Igor, I understand what you are saying. But...I am always very careful in doing a 'SaveAs' for each project to insure the path in the 'File name' window is correctly set. The files are correct in the 'SlideList', but not in the 'File name' window. So when the 'File name' window's path is not correct, I have to scroll around to find the correct path and do a 'SaveAs'. This problem seems to be random and affects some, but not all projects. I took a look at one trip where I make 9 separate projects. Each project's files are in their own separate folder. All files are saved to their own folder with its .pte file. Of these 9 projects, only 5 show the correct files associated with the its project (shown as 'OK'). However, 4 of these projects show incorrect files in the 'File name' window. Each of these projects show the images from a completely different project of a trip to Portugal. So, it seemed to have happened after I installed the latest upgrade. Just a guess but I only noticed it at that point. Possible? These projects above were created in 2011 so there is no connection to the Portugal project made in 2024. I know I have opened the above projects many time having the correct files associated with it. But something recently has changed the file association in the 'File name' window for some projects. I remember this happening many years ago but never understood what caused it. Gary

Greetings Igor, I sent a PM with the information you requested. I found an example project with this problem where the .dat path for the images is not correct. However, if I would do a SaveAs, it will show the correct path to save the .pte file, even though the FileList shown is incorrect. I just don't understand why the .dat file in the ProjectExtraData would not show or retain the correct path. I know for sure I have always done a SaveAs so that when I open the PTE project, the correct images appear in the FileList. Sometimes, the correct path to the images for the FileList are lost and I have to do a SaveAs to get it back to being correct. Gary

Greetings, Here is another show that I used the RouteGenerator program. But I also used PTE's panning and zooming to follow the car and added text to the side. Gary

Just as Mary posted, there is an 'early-bird-85-off' for the Melodie Music site. I wondered how long it would last. Here is their reply: "If anyone in the group is interested in purchasing a Melodie lifetime deal at the currently discounted prices, they can do so via this unique link (please feel free to share): https://melod.ie/lifetime-early-bird-85-off This promo will be available via that link for at least the next few weeks.

Greetings, I got a reply: "The ‘Generate Licence’ process is entirely optional, you are already covered under your subscription. " "Legally you are not required to attribute the music. Although it’s always appreciated if you can! It’s mainly there to generate “per track” licenses from time to time - especially for Pro and Enterprise plans - when creating content for third parties / clients, or whenever else a licence is needed as proof of purchase / licence."
