chrisosborne Posted July 9, 2011 Report Posted July 9, 2011 I am a new but enthusiastic user of pictures2exe using vers 6.5. Installed vers 7 beta 12. None of my existing projects will now play in vers 6.5. Did I click on something I shouldn't have? Can I rectify the problem ?PS great additions and improvements in vers 7.Wizard Quote
davegee Posted July 9, 2011 Report Posted July 9, 2011 You are probably getting a message stating that shows made in later versions won't play in 6.5?If you haven't used any of the v7 features e.g.video ignore the message and they will open up.If you have used any of the v7 features you must continue with v7.Perhaps a way forward would be to save a backup copy of a v6.5 show before opening in v7?DG Quote
Igor Posted July 9, 2011 Report Posted July 9, 2011 Simply re-install version 6.5 to restore file association for projects. All other settings will be kept untouched. Quote
fh1805 Posted July 10, 2011 Report Posted July 10, 2011 Wizard,When you install v7 beta releases, read each step of the install carefully, at one point you get a chance to decide whether you want to have the PTE file extensions associated with this version. I always tick them "off" rather than "on". This means that if I double-click on a PTE project it opens in v6.5. To open a project in v7 beta I have to launch v7 and then do a File...Open command. But as DaveG pointed out, once you have opened a project in v7 you cannot open it in an earlier version. This is because each new version of PTE adds features that never existed in the earlier versions; so the earlier version doesn't know what to do with the project code.regards,Peter Quote
davegee Posted July 10, 2011 Report Posted July 10, 2011 I should have said "...once you open the project and SAVE it from within V7 you will get the error message. But if you ignore the error message it will open".DG Quote
chrisosborne Posted July 10, 2011 Author Report Posted July 10, 2011 Many thanks, as usual practical, helpful advice. Quote
nobeefstu Posted July 11, 2011 Report Posted July 11, 2011 A helpful suggestion to those Users who have several PTE versions installed and want to open the .pte file in a particular version of PTE program: Create program shortcut's in your windows SEND TO folder and send the .pte file to that particular program version to open it. *Please keep in mind that newer version files are not fully supported in older program versions. See attachment. Quote
