Igor Posted April 13, 2009 Report Posted April 13, 2009 We're working on slideshow's engine for Mac and PicturesToExe for Windows will able create both kind of executable files: for Windows (EXE) and for Mac (APP).We need help of beta-testers who has Intel based Mac with Tiger or Leopard.I'll send created slideshow to see how it will play under Mac with hardware acceleration.If you want to join this beta-testing please add your post to this topic and specify model of your Mac computer/laptop, version of MacOSX and installed video card (if you know).P.S. full version of PicturesToExe for Mac will be the next step (not in this year).
Henri.R Posted April 14, 2009 Report Posted April 14, 2009 Hi Igor, with pleasure..iMac, Leopard 1.5Intel Core 2 Duo 2,66ATI Radeon HD 2600 ProBy the way, this is the Mac I use with Bootcamp for composing my PtE slideshows, not the computer I take with me for projection; in the near future I'll need a Macbook, of which I don't know exactly the performance of the new NVidia videocard regarding slideshows...regards,Henri.
Mr B Posted April 14, 2009 Report Posted April 14, 2009 I would like to test this.Have an iMac with OS X 10.5.62gb memoryCard as above.Also have our Photo Societies MacBook running Windows/Mac OS X under bootcamp only 1gb memory. Not sure of graphics card.

Peter S Posted April 15, 2009 Report Posted April 15, 2009 Hi Igor,I would be very happy to help with the testing. Following are details of my set up using a 24 inch iMac. Some of the details don't mean a lot to me but they be useful for you.

gwignall Posted April 16, 2009 Report Posted April 16, 2009 Hallelujah - We have progress?Hi IgorCount me in: I have an:-iMac 2.8Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo6Mb Shared L2 cache2Gb RamATi Radeon HD 2600 PRO Graphics 256 Mb GDDR memoryOX Leopard 10.5.6I hope that this provides the information that you need - This was an "off the 'Apple Store' shelf" iMac from the UK in summer last year (2008).I am also quite seriously considering the 'new' 17" MacBook Pro Laptop.However, on a slightly different tack - I notice from quite a few above replies that people are using 'Bootcamp' to run with 'Windows', rather than 'Parallels' or VMWare Fusion'!I think that it was Henri that suggested that this was a more efficient way of utilising the computer graphics and memory facilities?I am not really a technical wiz on this sort of thing, but I am running 'VMWare Fusion' software and was wondering if, and why, I should revert to 'Bootcamp'? (Windows is very slow at loading/starting up through 'Fusion' - but once open things seem to work ok). And if so, how should I go about removing/deleting 'Fusion' and replacing it with Bootcamp'?Any guidance or explanation would be appreciated.RegardsGeoffrey
Henri.R Posted April 16, 2009 Report Posted April 16, 2009 Hi Geoffrey,Ask some betatesting from Igor and do a try-out with your VMWare Fusion..I'm very curious to your experiences because (on my iMac) Parallels didn't use the graphical card in the right way; that's the reason I use Bootcamp to obtain a real Windows Intel-computer.regards,Henri.
Henri.R Posted April 16, 2009 Report Posted April 16, 2009 And if so, how should I go about removing/deleting 'Fusion' and replacing it with Bootcamp'?Any guidance or explanation would be appreciated.RegardsGeoffrey Hi Geoffrey,Read the thread 'PtE and the Mac'...regards,Henri.
skalogryz Posted April 16, 2009 Report Posted April 16, 2009 Not sure of graphics card.You can find out Mac system information in the following way:* press "Apple" icon at the left side of menu * select "About this Mac" (you'll see breif information on the system and processor).* click "More Info..." button. This will launch System Profiler applicaiton. (it can take a few seconds to gather the system information).* select "Graphics/Displays" from the hardware list to see graphics card used by Mac.You can also export full system information from System Profiler, by selecting "File->Save". It's better to .zip the created report file if you need to send it anywere. Don't worry, no personal information (expect for user name) is contained in this system profile report file.

stevemul Posted April 17, 2009 Report Posted April 17, 2009 Hi Igor,I am very interested to help in any way to test the Mac version of PTE.PTE on the Mac should be a real winner.

Igor Posted April 17, 2009 Author Report Posted April 17, 2009 Steve,One important addition - currently it is not Mac version of PicturesToExe (please see my remark above). PicturesToExe for Windows will able create executable file of slideshow for Mac.
