Today *we* have finished alpha version of our new graphical engine for PicturesToExe v5.00.

It seems that it works fine and responds to all our requirements.

I also finished almost all other scheduled improvements for v5.00

Now we're re-writting slide-show engine which manages slides, objects, which reads and processes various parameters of slide-show, and rewrite all transition effects for new graphical engine. It's much more easy part of our work.

Igor:

That's great news!!! Any hints as to what improvements we might see in version 5??

New features:

* Of course Pan/Zoom/Rotate and improved quality of all transition effects.

* Unlimited "Undo/Redo" anywhere (Ctrl+Z, Ctrl+Y keys)

* New Navigation bar (with ability to create fully own view and form)

* Full PNG images support.

* Main picture can be transparent.

* Better support of Large font screen mode (main interface of PTE).

* Displaying of four small images on a folder in thumbnails view of the File list (exactly as in Windows Explorer)

* Faster work of the program.

* Ability to show comments from JPEG EXIF files.

* "Create backup" feature which packs all project files into one ZIP archive.

And several other key useful functions which I will not describe right now.

Please wait a little more.

This is very good news, Igor. We're waiting with bated breath, full of expectation, for the new engine.

I, too, will be happy to help with the alpha testing.

Great news Igor! These changes will elevate P2E to the "head of the class" for presentation slideshow programs. Congratulations and we're all anxiously awaiting the first beta to test!!!

I love p2e!!!!!

Thanks again for all your work.

I only have one request.

When adding more then one slection of music to a show.

The silence between music (before next selection of musc starts) Sometimes depending on the music selection.... the silience can be anywhere from a few seconds up to 10- 15 seconds.

All I would like is to be able to shorten that time between & or be able to fade music in or out to make a smoother transition from one slection of music to the next.

Thanks so much

David
