Marking Input Slides

[cagney123]

I'm not to into the new high-end stuff that professionals will use but one thing I can't find is...when I make a show and put multiple slides in I think it would be helpful in the places where I've selected the slides there would have a checkmark to make me sure I've already used it. If it's already in the program I sure would be happy to find out where it is and thank you all for helping. Thanks again.

Used images that are added to the slide list are highlighted in blue in the file list. Always have been, so you can easily tell which ones you have used.

In addition to Jill's comments:

Files or Images which are added to a Slide in Objects and Animation are not automatically assigned a "Main Object" Status.

Until a Main Object Status is assigned the Highlighting does not take place in the File/Image List.

It is the Main Image Status which determines whether or not the Highlighting takes place in the File/Image List.

Thanks, I didn't know that.

Hello

I have looked at this but must be missing something?

I can see the blue highlight of the slidename/title in the slide list table view but how do I see that in the Thumnail view.

It would be handy to see as I use thumbnails in both the slide Tab and Slide/Folder/Project view.

It would show which images are similar when adding or removing them from the project but keeping them in the project folder for alternatate versios in the future.

Recently with the Bird AV I made short and long versions and used the same folder, different project names but had trouble finding what slides were used in each project in thumbnail view.

Regards

The Slidename is blue whichever view you are in.

It is much easier to see if you use the Light interface

Mark,

It would help if you illustrated your problem with a screen shot.

Thanks Dave and Jill for your replies.

Sorry for not making it clear I want to be able to see the used and unused slides in a specific project. I can see them highlighted in the S;ide List and the File List.

ProShow used to show you what individual slides were used with a tick in the upper RH corner and that is what I am looking for. From the one folder I may have multiple Projects?Shows and want to know which slide from the File List I can add to a show and not duplicate it in the Slide List. In the screenshot below only the "active" slide/file is shown and not all files/slides in the open project.

Is there a way of doing that?

Thanks in advance.

The Slidename in Blue (under the Thumbnail) in the Filelist are the ones that are used in the Project you have open.

As Dave said earlier it is only those that are a Main Image that are highlighted.
So anything added directly in O&A that is not a main Image will not be highlighted in Blue.

In your screenshot DSC04431Copy and DSC06171Copy are NOT used, the others are.

If you have a lot of images in that Folder then it may be easier to go into Full Screen view to see them all. Click the little triangle above the Filelist or press F3.

Thanks Jill, now I see the difference.

I was blinkered and looking for the image to be highlighted or different and not the image/file name in the File List.

It was at Full Screen (on one monitor - but I use 4). I have now moved the File List toolbar over to the right which reduces the space around the active image and the colour of the File List is more noticeable now.

Thanks for your help.
