New Version: Standalone screensavers and executables!

The new version of Slide Effect (1.1.0) is available, Trial and full version have been updated and are available for download.

The main new features are:

Screensavers and Standalone Executables Exportation

A new menu item has appeared on the file menu: Export Presentation…

If you click on it, a small wizard will appear and you will be able to create your own installable ( thanks to Inno Setup ) screensaver or executable.

Wizard first step

Installable screensaver is created

And finally, show the preview of your screensaver in Windows

Reflection Effect

Reflection effect is available for 2D Text, images and movies objects. I have already described this feature in one of my previous post.

Bug fixes

I have fixed some major bugs in the previous version:

• Bug fix: Add slide when a slide has been removed does not throw an error anymore.
• Bug fix: Load twice the same sef file does not throw an error anymore.
• Bug fix: Music settings does not throw an error anymore when open twice.

I would like to thanks all the users who send me automatic bug reports: I read each of them, and it helps me a lot to track issues and bugs, please keep it going!

What’s next?

Well, I am still working on more export formats (movies and shockwave flash export). I really pushed hard to put these format in this version, but, even if movie export is already working, I need more time to polish everything, so I decided to postpone these features to the next version.

I will also try to add new background effects in the next version and more 2D text options. Comments are welcome if you need something specific.

Have fun!
