Hold Time Point Box

[Boogie]

The Hold Time Point Box (Right hand bottom Main screen) is a new one to me.

When the mouse cursor hovers over the box a help note pops up which reads "When this option enabled, sorting, adding or deleting of slides will not affect on timepoints which you've set on the timeline according music"

1. With my monitor 1680 x 1050 only the first few words show, the remainder are cut off. On another monitor set at 1024 x 768, all the words show. Can the position of the help note be moved so that all size monitors show the note?

2. The English translation does not make sense to me. Can the 'on' between 'affect' and 'timepoints' be omitted?

What does 'timeline according music' mean?

Can anybody give a little more information on this function.

Congratulation to Igor and All for the Great program.

This function is to allow you to insert a slide in a sequence and move all following slides along the timeline in such a way as to maintain the relationship between each slide and the various associated objects. The object timings are associated with the overall timeline, so if you move the slide along the timeline to insert another slide, all of the object timings should move as well. This is the default setting for PTE with this box unticked. If you tick the box and then insert a slide, the position of various objects will remain at the same position on the timeline but the associated slide will move.

I wrote some notes on this a long time ago but cannot find them now. I am not sure why you would want to have the box ticked, but there will be a reason. At my suggestion, Igor changed the default value to unticked= move slide + objects which is probably what the majority of users would want to do.
