Details of pte file

[stonemason]

I once saw an app (Boxig I think) that allows you to open a .pte file and see details of timings, effects and images. Anyone know of such an app and where I can find it please?

Thanks

Alrobin's PTE ADJUSTOR available

here on beechbrook

will also let see the PTE file and adjust it too

[Gérard de Lux]

And also Synopsis PTE or SY(P), a powerful tool complementary to PTE. See this thread

I agree with Gerard (sorry no e acute), SY(P) is an excellent piece of software and well worth trying.

Ron - have a look at the following for a useful table:

To get é you hold down Alt and key in 0233 on the numeric pad.

Oh yes, and SY(P) is very useful!

Thanks Roger. Whilst I use the Character Map in word processing and DTP, I didn't have the character number readily available when writing my post. I have printed out the map from the site you quote for future reference. ééé

Stonemason, I'm happy that SY(P) was what you were looking for. It is very useful indeed.

Don't worry, Røn, I don't mind at all being called Gerard

The last time I tried SYP it did not recognise the new page curl transition and threw a tantrum. Has anyone else had this experience?

Or is there a new version?

I have just tried one of my recent PTE's on SY(P) and the "Page rolling down from the top" is shown as "Unknown effect in PTE 4.20". But no tantrums.

Guido :

As for SY(P) update, Jean-Claude has given explanations in another thread; I quote :

The current version of Sy(P) is in accordance with PTE 4.30.

At the moment I work on a new version in order to make it compatible with PTE 4.40.

Igor recently (thanks to him) let me known the last specifications.

Next version will also include

- merging and splitting PTE projects

- modification of slideshow main parameters

- possibility of adding external remarks (different from comments) to each pictures

... and some others goodies

Sy(P) can be downloaded here.
