bripat Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 I recently downloaded v5 beta 3 and positioned it on my desktop leaving v4.48 independently installed. I have used v5 for my most recent vacation slideshow but when I select "save as" for the pte file I get a warning notice "project files created with Pics to Exe v1.00-v1.60 are not supported now OK" I press OK to get rid of warning (there being no other option) but find on trying subsequently to open the file ( for second thoughts improvement to the slideshow) that my hard work has disappeared. ie the pics are no longer shown on the work panel. Fortunately I created an .exe file so I have my first effort but nothing to return to. Has anybody else experienced this and how can I securely save my work. Help please you expert guys and gals!

bripat Posted July 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 Brian now go one step furtherver 5 will make a zip file of what you have done so farfile/create backup in zipkenThanks again for this tip Ken. I have just created a Zip file of latest project, saved it to my audio visuals folder, but when I click to open it I just get the option OPEN without any recourse to opening from v5. So I get same notice as before and end up opening v4.48 apparently with no alternative, thus not able to extract my show. I'm reasonably competent otherwise, but this has me stumped. Can you spare the time to help further?Brian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
