Bug in Object Editor

[Tripstrilles]

Hello friends, in object-editor I have paste text-objects for each slide in position 50 % 92 % (coordinates); it´s horizontally the center of the screen. Now the problem:

Resolution of the slides: 640 x 480

Resolution of the screen: 1024 x 768

100 % of the screen to show images

Background gradient filling: blue to yellow

In the fullscreen preview-mode of each image I have discover, that the images are not exactly in the center of the screen. The image is 0,5 cm nearer at the right side of the screen, and the text-object too.

In slideshow-preview, all images are in the same position (0,5 cm nearer at the right side), but all text-objects are 0,5 cm nearer at the left side of the screen. So there is a difference about 1 cm and the show looks bad because the text is moved out of center.

Who can help me?

The coordinates of 50 % are exactly center

Other news:

By vertical images is the difference 1,5 cm. When I go to object-editor - object preferences - and click ok without any changes, only ok, the difference to center is in slideshow preview much smaller. I hope you understand, what I mean.

Hi Tripstrille!

I made some tests, but my results are very different from yours. I took a picture made with Photoshop: 1 black pixel.

I set it as main image (!), and then I took the same picture and I placed it as object in the center of screen (I used "Set position", obviously...).

Well, I noticed a displacement of 1 pixel horizontally and 1 vertically at my usual screen resolution, and an identical deplacement at 640 x 480 and 1024 x 768.

On my 17" monitor at 800 x 600 this means about 0.36 mm, and a maximum of 0.47 mm at 680 x 480 (and 0.23-0.24 mm at 1024 x 960).

Same experience you made: a picture 640 x 480. Here, no perceivable deplacemet between 640 x480 and 1024 x 768.

We are far away from what you say...

I think I have found the error.

I have paste one text-object in my first image. Then I have edit the pte-file and set the coordinates to 50 % - 92 %. For the following images I have cut this object and paste it into every image by only changing the text. In this time, the object is not in the center under the image but much more to the left side of screen.

Now I tried another way:

I set the position of the text-object by clicking at the positon button to center (50 % - 50 %) for each image.

After this, I have edit the pte-file and changed the vertical position manually to 92 %. In the slideshow the text-object now appears exactly in center under each image.

But the difference of the distance to the right and the left side of the screen (I mean the image) is exactly 0,5 cm.

Test will continued.
