Francis Posted February 20, 2003 Report Posted February 20, 2003 Hi,I'm new in PicturesToExe. I guess if it is possible to merge several existing slideslows to create a new one.If not, do you plan to do this functionnality?RegardsFrancis(sorry for my poor english) Quote
Guest guru Posted February 20, 2003 Report Posted February 20, 2003 Hi Francis! Welcome!First of all, don't worry about your English... Mine is worse!As to merging two or more EXE files, it's impossible for now. It could be possible by manually modifying *.pte files, but it is a very delicate job.If to "chain" automatically several presentations is enough for you, you can utilize the AutolinkPlus v2, a veru interesting utility created by Nobeefstu, a member of this forum. You can find it in Beechbrook site, 3rd or 4th page. It allows to start a presentation automatically at the end of another, without pressing any button. Quote
jimlarkey Posted February 20, 2003 Report Posted February 20, 2003 Hello Francis,I have successfully used a technique different from what guru has suggested. I create several small exe's that are easily manageable. I assemble the small exe's into what I call subroutines, or what guru calls chaining by creating an opening and closeing slide that allows the viewer to choose which of the smaller exe's (subroutines) they want to view.My last project consisted 9 exe's, the largest of which was about 10 minutes. I think that this is a reasonable attention span for average subjects. They were logically assembled (chained) as shown on:http://www.pbase.com/image/13407511.jpgOne minor problem involves the use of synching & objects on the last slide. Igor has indicated that he will improve on next PTE version. If your interested see:http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums//index...ct=ST&f=2&t=337PTE is a great piece of software, that only gets better. Good luck to you on your first PTE presentation. I'm sure you and your viewers will enjoy your work.By the way, your English is good!Cheers,Jim Quote
rwav Posted February 20, 2003 Report Posted February 20, 2003 I did not have the time to try the utility suggested by Guru, but this looks like a very interesting solution to my problem of having silent slides at the begining of a presentation while using the customised sync feature.(see thread) Quote
jimlarkey Posted February 20, 2003 Report Posted February 20, 2003 Sorry guys that the characters look like a fallen "house of cards" on my last post.You can go to: http://www.pbase.com/image/13407511.jpg to see a better layout of the flow in the slideshow.Cheers,Jim Quote
LumenLux Posted February 20, 2003 Report Posted February 20, 2003 Yes, Jim, that .jpg is a little easier to understand. Now, the new question - what the heck is "Weminuche?" Quote
Guest guru Posted February 20, 2003 Report Posted February 20, 2003 "The Weminuche Wilderness Area is, without a doubt, one of the most spectacular places on earth. It contains some of the most rugged and majestic peaks in the continental United States. The Weminuche encompasses nearly 460,000 acres. The average elevation of the Weminuche is over 10,000 feet, with snowy peaks topping 14,000 feet. Much of the area is above timberline" (etc.).(see http://www.silverton.org/weminuche.html ) Quote
LumenLux Posted February 20, 2003 Report Posted February 20, 2003 Thank you Guido. I guess that says something about the internet world when my buddy in far-off Italy has to tell me about my next-door neighbor! Although the name looked "indian", I truly had never heard the name. I will now have to make note of the area in my PDA to-do list. But as my PDA can also keep track of priorities, I will keep Italy ranked above it. Quote

Francis Posted February 21, 2003 Author Report Posted February 21, 2003 Thanks all for your responds.I've already tested the Jim's soluce. My first slideshows look fine.AutolinkPlus is downloaded but not yet tested.Francis Quote
mikej998 Posted February 23, 2003 Report Posted February 23, 2003 Amazing that on a forum as global as this one you find someone in your own backyard! I'm from Durango. Nice pictures Jim, I checked out your link. Quote
jimlarkey Posted February 23, 2003 Report Posted February 23, 2003 Thanks Mike,It is indeed a small world....my daughter moved to Durango last month. She will be working for Outward Bound (COBS) as an intern/leader. I understand a lot of the Durango folk were at one time or another associated with COBS.Great town. My highlight on visiting Durango was Carver's & Wildeness Experience.Cheers,Jim Quote
