Run applic. after last slide problem

[Bernard74]

Hello

I am new and need help

I try to run 3 slide show, using the "Run applic.after last slide" option.

The Pb:

Before starting the next slide show I get back to the starting window for 1 or 2 seconds then the next slide show is run properly but so it does not look nice.

I tried with very small slide show, but it is the same.

Note: I do have a powerfull PC (Duo core, 1 gig of RAM...)

Can you help

Additional question:

Is there a way for merging 2 or more existing projects ?

Many thanks

Bernard

I have tried to merge 2 project and, so far, have failed to find a way of doing it. I am very interested to know if it is possible and will watch this thread closely.

Bernard,

I suspect your seeing your "Desktop" for those few seconds between the launching of each show. v5 has this trait in Full Screen Modes due to its new 3D graphical engine. (This has nothing to with how powerfull your pc and video card is.)

Invisible menu work-around technique :

Window Mode work-around technique :

Building your slide show in the Window Mode avoids the desktop/delay between launching ... it appears virtually seemless between shows.

In the Project Options:

-Set Window Mode ... not Full Screen

-Set your project screen size to your monitor screen size

-Enable Without Border checkbox

-Disable Hardware Acceleration checkbox

-Set your Run Application After Last Slide

There are limitations using this Window Mode. No intense 3D animation effects ... because they require the 3D Hardware Acceleration enabled. The slide show will appear full screen on your monitor size ... but will not appear full screen on other monitors sized differently than yours (this is because your running in a fixed size window parameter).

Igor has mentioned this possibility in future versions. Right now each pte file has its own default/unique global settings/options and can not be directly/completely merged with another pte file.

Welcome to PTE and the user forum Bernard you will find lots of help here.

I have found the method mentioned here to work well for me, a little cumbersome but will do until the function is built into PTE in a future version.
