Version 10 of PicturesToExe is available in commercial version since October 3, 2019. It can be downloaded from the WnSoft France or WnSoft English website.

What's new in PTE AV Studio 10
Many functional, technical and graphical improvements have been made with this new version. I let you discover them on the WnSoft France or WnSoft English website.
DiaporaShop has very modestly participated in version 10 by creating three new styles that you will find as standard in the software.
These styles are available in the Experimentssection. in the Styles and Themes window :
- Watercolour : progressively displays an image by a watercolour spot effect
- Brushstrokes: gradually displays an image using brushstroke effects
- Suspended images: Five images are presented successively with a parallax effect.
Compatibility with DiaporaShop styles and transitions
Good news, all styles and transitions available on DiaporaShop created in version 9 are compatible with PTE AV Studio 10 editions.
If you have version 9 of PTE with your own custom styles and transitions or from DiaporaShop, when installing version 10, a window will appear and will propose you to choose the previous version in order to import its parameters. By clicking on the Validate button, all your styles and transitions from version 9 will be imported in the new version.
In conclusion, version 10 brings many improvements including the concept of Themes to facilitate the creation of a slideshow. A theme is a set of several styles that can be applied in one click to several slides. Users can create new custom themes and share them.
If the functionality is interesting, it is possible that DiaporaShop makes this type of product available.
I'm really happy with this version 10.
I've since made a video to accompany a fireworks display, 4 slideshows and 28 small modules for e.learning trainings.
My dream would be to be able to integrate links to create an integrated navigation system in a video. That would be really great!
How can your zip files be opened? I have tried everything I can think of.
A product of the DiaporaShop site is downloaded in an archive file (file extension ".zip"). Once the .zip file is downloaded, you must use an archive decompression tool. Such a tool is available on Windows 10 by right-clicking on the file and then in the menu that appears do "Extract all...". Windows will then propose you to select a destination directory for the extraction of the zip file content.
Kind looks,
Pascal.
