Rosemary A Posted November 5 Report Posted November 5 I decided to make a copy of all my slide styles. When I go to PTE via Windows C, Users, Computer ID, Documents, Pictures to Exe, Styles all I see is a list of Slide style numbers. How do I identify an individual slide style eg Left to Right Flip? Thanks everyone, Rosemary Quote
Igor Posted November 6 Report Posted November 6 Hi Rosemary, Find the "Styles and Transition" folder and create a ZIP archive of this entire folder. Then you can easily unzip the ZIP archive to restore all the styles and transitions on this computer or on another PC. "Styles and Transition" folder usually located in Documents > PicturesToExe Quote
Rosemary A Posted November 6 Author Report Posted November 6 Thank you Igor. I can find the Styles folder fine but how do you identify which style is which? The styles are not named - just numbers. I can only assume that I am missing something. Rosemary Quote
denisb Posted November 7 Report Posted November 7 Hi, in the same directory, a text file styles.ini contains the name, the "style numbers" and other informtion Denis Quote
Rosemary A Posted November 7 Author Report Posted November 7 Thanks Denis. You have solved my problem. Just double click on the style number and then double click on Style.xml and amongst the data is the style name. Rosemary Quote

Instead of working with the installation data of your styles, I would prefer just to export the styles in PTE's Styles and Themes window. You will obtain files of type "ptestyle", which seem to be zip-files containing all data for the installation of the corresponding styles. Quote
Rosemary A Posted November 8 Author Report Posted November 8 Hi Jt49. Thank you for getting back to me. Your method works well except I have over 1000 styles and when I try to export them from PTE it takes a long time. The slidestyles window in PTE is slow to open so it would take forever unless I am doing the export wrong. Rosemary Quote
SeismicGuy Posted 1 hour ago Report Posted 1 hour ago Having the folders with meaningful names rather than the obscure numbers would be useful for future versions. Quote
