Hold down the Shift key I think. Regards wideangle

Lin That's another very effective result. Different video masks give very different results. I like the effect of the outline sketch before you start filling in. Merry Christmas to you and Ruby! Regards wideangle

Exceptional stuff, Jean-Cyprien! Thank you for sharing it. Regards wideangle

Thanks for that Dave, and a Merry Christmas to you! Regards wideangle PS Looking forward to opening that box!

Just read that Microsoft have blocked the rollout of the October update of Windows 10 for a second time. Apparently it ceased on Nov 21 for people whose monitors had Intel drivers, because it was causing sound problems. Another good reason for not rushing into these things it seems. Regards wideangle

Lin This is a really great idea, and very effective. I like it! Thanks for providing the Style. Regards wideangle

In view of the recent request for Drag and Drop within Objects and Animations, and my earlier request for that same feature to be included within Slide Styles, I would like to propose the following. I would like to request that Igor and team look over PTE generally, to see if there are any areas where they think Drag and Drop could be introduced to speed up activities, including those already identified. Any software package is better if things can be achieved in a quicker and shorter way, and Drag and Drop actions usually help significantly in this respect. Regards wideangle

Hi Mur Please continue to offer your workaround suggestions when you have them, for the very reasons you suggest. I’m sure that most people appreciate your workarounds if they need to get a job done, when there is no built-in tool available. Whenever a workaround can be replaced directly by a new tool in PTE, so much the better. Regards wideangle

Hi jt49. I'm using 9.0.21 and can confirm that the same thing happens with me. (Dragging the mp3 into the timeline does behave as you would expect). Regards wideangle

Hi judyKay You must almost need a full-time assistant to manage and organise them for you! Do you tend to revisit the older images very often, or are they just stored for posterity? Regards wideangle

Hi Tom Yes, I get that, and it's always best to be at the sharp end! Regards wideangle

Well done if it's gone well for you, but I just don't get the logic in the rush to update, especially as recent problems have shown. Regards wideangle

Tom - that's a good result. Could this be the start of a new challenge? That is, to identify an effect in other software and see how easy it is to create the same effect in PTE! Regards wideangle

Can it be set up as a totally separate stand-alone product? If so, it could be offered as a free download from the WnSoft website in its current as-is state with no further support offered. That would leave PTE free to be develeloped without it. It would also be a solution which is likely to satisfy everybody. Regards wideangle

I take lots of photos as a way of recording rambles for a local group of walkers, many of whom are quite old and just trying to keep mobile! Most are not very high-tech people but dvds are an ideal way for me to distribute those memories to them, and PTE gives me the perfect platform to do it, so I use it all the time. Regards wideangle

Dave Like Bruno, on your post above for Sunday at 2.03pm, I also just see the message 'You don't have permission to see this content' Regards wideangle

I think there are two separate stages relating to Barry’s original question. 1. Give a clear and simple description of what a slide style is. (See my attempt above!). 2. It can then be followed up with its merits and advantages as the second stage. (Saves time, achieve results in a few clicks, etc) I also think that actions speak louder than words, so a range of differing examples would help with stage 2. Regards wideangle

In PTE you can add objects and animations to one or more slides, and vary their properties. If you wish, you can save the whole effect in the form of a slide style, which you can then use to apply to other slides. Regards wideangle

Great idea and well done Lin, but I agree with Barry about the hand. Also, would people watching it assume the drawing hand is a feature of PTE? Just a thought. Regards wideangle

I assume you are meaning the default Cube slide style in the Experimental category? Check that all 6 pictures are cropped to be a square shape before you apply the style. Regards wideangle

Thank you Igor. Regards wideangle

Hi Gary This seems to be the way that styles have always worked. To me, it is very illogical and not what you would generally want or expect to happen. Your example is a good case in point. Can you think of a situation where you would want to destroy the current order of your slides when you add a style??? Regards wideangle

I also agree with the inclusion in O&A. On your second point, IMO I guess nothing makes any sense if you can’t see a use for it. Regards wideangle

Thanks Barry. Makes it very clear. Regards wideangle

Sorry Barry - misled you a bit. I'd mistakenly said Winzip, but it was WinRar that I'd used at the time, which was successful. Regards wideangle
