Hi Alain,
Thanks for the latest Beta 7 version.

I like the changes to the text box they seem to work well.

Selected objects on a slide now seem to function as expected (although I am still disappointed that we still can’t group a TEXT box and an IMAGE together as ONE OBJECT (or a text box and any other object) so that they can enter the slide together with one click (that is they would both have the same object selection number).

A FEW GLITCHES I STILL SEE
1. when I save a project the dialog box always say’s “NOT RESPONDING” before it eventually responds and saves.

2. The Play and Preview buttons don’t seem to show any TACTILE RESPONSE when I select the buttons with my mouse, it seem’s as though nothing is happening and the first few times I used it I clicked on it two or three times and the player tried to load multiple times before throwing an error and crashing the player. Is there a way to make the Play and Preview buttons respond by changing their state in some manner to indicate that something is happening.

3. The delay between pressing the Play Presentation (that is with 18-20 slides) and the loading bar appearing, seems to be quite long, is there any way to speed up the response time?

4. Probably the most annoying glitch is that the selected effects still don’t show up on my 15″ widescreen laptop. I tried changing the settings and nothing helped. I also noticed that if I have already got effects in place after setting up my project on my big screen external monitor, there is no way to change them, delete them or even see them on my laptop.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Problem 1-2-3 are all related: saving a project with a lot of text (like yours) took too much time (SE save the project when pressing Play) I have worked on the process and it will be a lot faster in beta 8 that should be released in a few hours.

Regarding the tactile response, I understand what you mean. I have sometimes the same issue. I will try to find something.

Problem 4: can you tell me the resolution of your laptop? Can you also send me by email (alain@slide-effect.com) a screenshot of the problem on your laptop?

Hi Alain,
I also noticed that if one uses the Countdown clock and select either an entry effect or an animated effect the player will crash. If I use an exit effect it seems to play OK.

Hi Alain,
I downloaded and installed SE Beta Version 10. I like the selection effects added to the Play and Preview buttons. It works well and the response time is now much faster. I’m looking forward to trying it out this weekend.

Hi Alain,
I am using SE Beta 10 and noticed that if I click on a pre-existing text box, for example “OLD TEXT!” and then highlight just the Old Text (not highlighting the quotation marks or the exclamation mark) and then I delete the Old Text I find that my Cursor jumps to the left of the first quotation mark, meaning that if I just start typing to replace the OLD TEXT the NEW TEXT is all entered before the first set of quotation marks not in between the quotation marks.

I hope that’s clear.
