This is good news. Thank you - donation sent. I was a firm MP user for many years but have to confess I've moved toward SCS in recent years, mainy due to increasing use of imagery in shows. Nothing complicated, just basic stuff eg jpg images only seem to display for a few seconds in MP before disappearing. I never did work out if it was possible to make them display indefinitely. Is that me being daft, a problem with my PC or a feature of MP? For more comples shows, I have used midi cues to control Screen Monkey with a lot of success but it is a bit cumbersome to set up. Audio wise it has always been fine although it is a bit fussy about file formats. Again this could be more to do with my PC than MP. For instance, it won't play 32 bit files, which is sometimes how things downloaded from YouTube etc turn up. I think durations/elapsed/remaining counters go a bit awry with anything other than 44k files too. That's not a big issue so I've not spent much time looking into workarounds, other than to routinely convert everything to 44k/16bit .wav and had no problems Mentioned earlier but the thing about files being changed (mainly duration changes) then throwing an error in MP and refusing to play would be a useful fix. Thank you again David Eddie edit to add: There's also an issue with adding audio files that are not in the $media folder which on this old (Vista!) PC causes the programme to lock up (possibly loop?), since the filename in the dialogue box seems to flash furiously.
