Sorry, but my former post #27 does not exist any longer. The attempt to correct one line in the new user guide (IMO an easy exercise) seems to be a big affair. I do not need this guide, so why wasting time? Regards, jt Sometimes there we see signs and wonders: My vanished post is back again

Executable? I can't see it. It must have vanished in the air Regards, jt

This my view: Ignore objects not selected: A feature with influence on the behavior of the O&A editor Transparent to selection: A feature of a particular object, to be transparent with respect to mouse clicks while the show is running Regards, jt

Hi Lin, Quite a nice killer argument But the question remains open: Rotation Y - where is the axis of rotation? Best regards, jt Rot_Y_axis.zip

What about reading the posts in this topic? Regards jt

Merci beaucoup - vielen Dank! Grüße aus München jt

Hi Lin, It is not my intention to present detailed descriptions on Euler angles in the user guide. But the version we see there sounds definite and precise while being incorrect. This is my concern. I agree that it is quite difficult if not impossible to be precise in this situation. So if we have to stay vague, the description should be vague, as well. Best regards, jt

I don't know if this is the correct place for posting any kind of incorrectness in the Online Help. On the page "3D Parameters" we read: "Rotate Y “flips” an object/image about its vertical axis ...". The three rotations Rotate, Rotate Y, Rotate X constitute (if I got it correctly) a Tait-Bryan system with Z-Y'-X" convention. So Rotation Y does not always give a rotation around the image's own y-axis. You see this if you first set Rotate X to a value different from zero, and then perform Rotation Y. Regards, jt49

I have some doubts that post in this forum should be restricted to the aspect of being helpful for beginners. Beginners may ask their questions, and we should give appropriate answers. But in cases where an experienced user asks for a definite rule, why not giving the answer Regards, jt

Original text deleted. Sometimes the effort of writing posts is just a waste of time Regards, jt

You should not compare button and checkbox. They are conceptually different.You can use a button now, and if you like it, you can use it again (some time later). What about a checkbox? You can tick it, and once it has been ticked, you cannot tick it again, but you may un-tick it. So you can toggle between two states. So once again I would like to ask the users who want to see here that kind of box: Please give a precise definition about the functionality of the box. Otherwise we are discussing the theory of the empty set. Regards jt

Sorry, you did not say what the consequence of the ticked box should be. I see logical problems. The function of the button is clear: You press it, and the corresponding feature is applied to all slides. It changes the situation as it is just in this moment. Later you may make manual changes in some slides, the overall situation will change. Again, some time later, you may want to press the button again. There isn't anything permanent with the action of using the button, it is just an action at a particular moment. In my opinion a ticked box indicates something permanent, but the function "Apply to all slides" does not have a permanent nature. Regards, jt

Please tell us in which places you want to see a checkbox, and precisely what should be its effect. Regards, jt

Gary, I hope that we can agree that this is not am important issue. But I also see a difference in the two situations. In the toolbar settings we see a very compact, self-contained description, while in the timeline/slide-list we see the highlighted slide, and it is this slide that has been selected as the starting point of the preview. I use the toast quite often, but I must admit hat I do not look at the mouse-over message. Regards, jt

To those of you who want to do a little exercise in the German language: There is a new article on PTE 8 in the German AV Magazine "AV-Dialog", see here. Regards, jt

It would be easier for me to judge on the situation if you would extract the two slides form your project to an new project, and if you would show it to me (zip backup). You could attach it to a post in the forum, or make an upload and send me the link. Regards, jt

The line spacing makes the situation a bit awkward. In cases where it has its default value zero, the situation is quite nice. For any font, if a single line has zoom value 20 (say), then with 4 lines (same font) the letters have the same size if the zoom value is set to 80 (4 times 20); so we have the rule of three or rule of proportion, here. If you want to have line spacing different from zero, you might set the line spacing values to zero first, then you can adjust the text sizes, and then set the spacing to the value you want to have. Regards, jt

Inzwischen ist der Artikel über PTE 8 als Leseprobe verfügbar: http://www.av-dialog-magazin.de/pdf/PicturesToExe8.pdf Gruß aus München jt

I think that at least in the second option where the output space is defined in advance, I would like to avoid transformations on the fly. Will there be problems with texts, rectangles, and others? Regards, jt

-1 Sorry, jt

I hope that there will be other options, as well, in particular static color management what should mean: Create an Exe-output including images that (during creation) have already been transformed to a defined output color space (with the effect that during execution no color transformation have to be performed). Regards, jt

Enter some text, first just a single line (take care that there isn't an empty second line) Choose a zoom value for this text: X Choose a line spacing value (positive or negative): Y Now type a number of lines: N (again take care that there aren't empty additional lines) During this process the size of the letters remains invariant. The overall zoom value for text with N lines should be: (N * X) + ((N - 1) * X * Y / 200) Regards jt

Die neue Ausgabe des AV-Dialogs (Clubmagazin des gleichnamigen Vereins) enthält einen achtseitigen Artikel über die neuen Funktionen in PicturesToExe 8.

It works correctly! I used sRGB, and Adobe RGB as standard profile, and I set the monitor to sRGB and Adobe RGB, as well. I tested the application in all 4 combination with expected results: In the two cases where standard profile and monitor setting did coincide, the colors were fine. The combination sRGB/AdobeRGB delivered oversaturated colors, the other way round the image looked a bit flat. Regards, jt

Igor, The application did what you have described. With the sRGB option I first got an error message (see below). After copying "sRGB Color Space Profile.icm" from "C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\color" into the test application's folder, everything did work well. Now I have some hope that one of this forum's mantras "Use nothing but sRGB" will fall silent. Regards, jt
