Very clever. Why was there no eclipse when the moon passed between the earth and the sun?

LOL - some weeks are better or "worse" because I have less work these days trying to "retire"....

Here's one you may have missed while enjoying the beach - I envy that trip - haven't been to the beach in a few years!

I like it a lot !

Lin, would you be ok to share the pte project of your "60 seconds, Storm Coming" demo ?

My guess about shows, demos, files posted by members here on the Wnsoft forum is that people want to share them. That's why I host some of them on my site, those I think are the most interesting. But I always mention the author (and his website if any) and give the link to the Wnsoft topic where the subject was started.

I already host your cube demo and most of your demos as well...

Please, feel free to tell me if you don't want to be hosted.

Dom,

For my part, I'm always annoyed when people post or publish my work without first asking permission. Then I'm usually happy to let them do it, but I think it is only a matter of courtesy to first ask - it's so easy to do, and costs nothing.

One of the other popular AV Forums was copying shows from my website and others, and posting them on their new forum without permission, but giving credit to the authors, nevertheless. However, when I complained about it, they were kind enough to remove my two shows. This has happened with photos from my websiste from time to time, too. (I don't mean to imply that you have done it, at all). I know copying is the best form of flattery, but personally, I prefer to be asked permission first. That is an even better flattery!

Your new forum is great, and is providing a great service to the rest of us AV'ers. However, while I'm on the subject, as I mentioned to you in an email I would prefer, personally, if your terms and conditions indicated that the moderator would cancel objectionable posts, not modify them. I don't believe that any moderator should have the right to modify another post (without permission, of course). Only to cancel it outright.

Just my personal views on what could be a delicate issue.

[thedom]

Al, I probably missed your mail (had more than 300 mails when I came back from vaccation, most of them spam and advertisements ).

Anyway, when thinking about it, I think you're right on both points.

That's why I will modify the terms and conditions of my site and from now on always ask permission before hosting.

Thank you for pointing this out and for giving me the opportunity to think about it.

[alrobin]

Thanks, Dom. I didn't think there would be a problem as you seem like a pretty reasonable guy.

Anyway, that's what forums are for - to share and discuss ideas, etc.

I know what you mean by spam, and figured you must have missed my email as I sent it while you were away.

Good to have you back, and I'm looking forward to seeing more of your Libya slideshow.

Al, I checked my inbox and found your mail.

But because you send this email from Wnsoft, it is the same sender (Wnsoft Forums) and it was lost in the middle of my "Topic Subscription Reply Notification".

Anyway, I changed the terms and conditions of my site.

So there is no reason any more for you to don't suscribe.

[alrobin]

Thanks, Dom! I'll sign up right away.

Hi Dom,

Fee free to post the zipped executable, but I'm holding off on posting the pte file until I finish my tutorials on these effects. I have several shows in the works and one just semi-completed (Solar System) which have some pretty sophisticated effects and without a complete explanation of how these effects are accomplished the pte file would be very confusing except for the really advanced users of PicturesToExe betas.

I plan to publish a "how to" on not only the use of the variois PNG files to create the snow, swirling snow, planets with dual rotation, sun with swirling gas and solar eruptions, cube pictures and so on, but how to actually create the raw materials using Photoshop, etc., (PNG files, etc.) which make the effects possible. Some are quite complex to create and there would be so many questions that I would rather answer them all at once by the tutorials. These tutorials will be supplemental to those Jeff and I are planning for the version 5 release and will be available free for all PicturesToExe users.

Email me if you want to look at the pte files for any of these and I'll post them for you, but I don't want to make them public until I have the text and samples to explain in detail how they are made and used.

Best regards,

Lin
