Version 1.3.1 of Slide Effect has been released.

It is only a bug fix release: no new features have been added.

Bugs fixed:

• End Effect: Corrected an issue with pictures and some other objects: the end effect was not displayed after the first loop when the presentation was in loop mode.
• Corrected error “Could not find a part of the path …”: When saving a presentation with some blank objects, the saved file was corrupted and this error was displayed. It now works correctly.
• Add a slide: Fixed a small bug when adding a slide on a presentation (index out of bound error).

Trial and full version have been updated.
