" .ptshow "

[Jim Higgins]

Hi   Can anyone tell me how to open files with " .ptshow " at the end. I've tried two versions of P2E, version 7.5 and version 10. The files don't show in the files window.

PTE 7.5 will not open a .ptshow.

Regarding Version 10, the latest version is 10.5. You should be using that.

Can you tell us where it came from? Is it a "Show for Mac"? Was it one of the files in a Safe Executable for PC?

If you put ANY exe file from a Safe Executable for PC in a folder with the .ptshow file and double click on the .exe, it will run the .ptshow.

You will be asked to identify the .ptshow that you want to run but it should work. It works for me.

Hi davegee thanks for replying.

I downloaded a zip file about running shows from a menu system. When it unzipped to another folder there was the EXE file, which played o.k., but I was not able to open the " .ptshow ". I thought this would open in pte  as a project file so I could see how it was done.

Or have I got the idea wrong?

[davegee]

The .exe that you clicked on "triggered" the .ptshow.

That is how a Safe Executable for PC works. The exe was of the order of 14mb. 

Have you now upgraded to 10.5 - it is a free upgrade.
