thedom Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 Hi, I have an issue with main images and styles. I uploaded this simple project and the style made of it in order to explain more easily. I want the first image (main picture #1) to appear as an introduction ("slide for beginning") and to be ALWAYS used as a frame for ALL next pictures (main image #2). This way, each time I use the style, I can choose what picture I want to be used as the frame for my pictures. No problem with slide #1. Frame used for image #2 is ok too, it's picture #1 But for all next pictures, instead of pic#1 used as frame, it's the previous picture that is used : pic#2 used as a frame for pic#3, pic#3 used as a frame for pic#4, etc... I want pic#1 to be always used as frame for each picture How can I do this ?? It drives me crazy. Thank you for your help.

Igor Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 Dom, 1. Declare this image as the Main object (#1, or #2, etc) on first slide where this image appears first time. 2. On next slides untick the option "Main object" for this image. Now the same unique image will be shown throught all these slides.

thedom Posted May 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 Thanks Igor, but I am afraid there is a misunderstanding. I tried your style on 6 images. Works ok till slide #4. On slide #4, only pic#4 is displayed.Then slide #5 & #6 are displayed with pic#4 What I want is : - slide #1 : only pic#1 displayed - slide #2 : pic#2 with pic#1 - slide #3 : pic#3 with pic#1 - slide #4 : pic#4 with pic#1 - slide #5 : pic#5 with pic#1 - slide #6 : pic#6 with pic#1 If I would choose 8 pics (instead of 6), I would have same sequence with those slides added : - slide #7 : pic#7 with pic#1 - slide #8 : pic#8 with pic#1 I can't find a way to make this. Please try to make it work with my project I have posted (in zip file). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davegee Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 Have you tried making slide one your "Slide for beginning"? DG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you're right, that's what I tried to explain in my initial message. To be more explicit, I want to use this option for my photoalbum style. Pic#1 (main image #1) will be the image choosed by end user to customize his photoalbum cover. And next images (main image starting from #2 to infinite) will be the pcitures of his photo album. But I am afraid that's this 'slide for beginning" that is the issue (bug ?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davegee Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 OK, try making your style 20 slides long - what happens then? DG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedom Posted May 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 I don't understand what you mean DG. This style only needs 2 slides : one for the opening sequence of pic #1 (="slide for beginning) and a recurrent one for the display of each following pic with pic #1. Does it make sense ? Why 20 ?

davegee Posted May 21, 2020 Report Share Posted May 21, 2020 Try any number which is more than you have now. dg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted May 21, 2020 Report Share Posted May 21, 2020 Dom, I'm still checking this problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davegee Posted May 21, 2020 Report Share Posted May 21, 2020 Dom, I tried to make an example based on what I remember and it is not working as expected so maybe something has gone "wrong". Leave it to Igor. DG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted May 21, 2020 Report Share Posted May 21, 2020 Dom, Currently, it's not possible with slide styles. The only way is to use a fixed image included into a slide style (and it will not be replaced to user's image). It's not a bug. Slide style conception is already complex and powerful, much more flexible than in Proshow products. I'll discuss with my colleagues if it possible to improve slide styles for future version. Initially we added a possibility to include the same image on next slide to allow create an animation when the same image can pass through two slides. For example, if you create a carousel of photos.

Igor Posted May 21, 2020 Report Share Posted May 21, 2020 Dom, We'll check again this code to see if it possible to carefully change this behaviour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedom Posted May 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2020 Thank you very much Igor for taking time to study my question. The impossibility is what I sensed. I agree, that’s not a bug, you made a great choice when you implemented this behavior. What I would like is to keep it this way (main use) and to add a new option for main images in style if user want it to behave differently. I hope you can change it. Thank you again !
