Suggestions

I have a couple of suggestions that you might want to give some thought to for any future improvements.

1. Automatically create an end flag for animation as PTE does with the start flag, so when we go into the O&A, its there waiting?

2. Could a more visual way be found to show the difference between used and unused images in the file list.

Great idea, Barry! Absolutely essential, I feel. However, I would go further.

I would like the option to specify which combination of the four "speial keypoints" should be automatically included for each slide - SlideBegin, PrevEffectEnd, NextEffectBegin, and SlideEnd. I would normally choose PrevEffectEnd and NextEffectBegin, in other words the beginning and end of the "Pure Slide Time".

In my most recent project, I wanted to animate every slide. Having this facility would have saved me at least ten mouse clicks or movements per slide, over five thousand operations in total.
