Will Auto Slate be ported to the Palm Pre?

I have been using Auto Slate on my Palm Treo 755p (and previous Treos) for several years.

I have transitioned to the Palm Pre and would like to know if Stand Alone intends to
update Auto Slate to work on the Pre.

Thanks,
Jeff

Mike,

What I've done for baby dedications is to import all the pictures into MediaShout and then include the sound track. If you have text embedded onto the pics, you can save the slides as jpegs and then import. I've completely divorced from PPT for these type of events.

Hope this helps some.

Jeff

Corrupt Records in AutoSlate (Palm OS-Treo 755p)

After installing a firmware upgrade from Sprint, I noticed that AutoSlate has two records with garbled data.

I cannot select the records in order to delete them.

Recommendations?

Thanks,
Jeff

This may not answer the originator's question, however, I converted a flash movie to several other file types (.avi included) and MediaShout v4 refused to play any of them.

I wound up playing the file in Quicktime.

Here was my solution:
I copied the nkjv.mdb file from my MediaShout v3 file set to the v4 file set.

I have noticed that MS v4 gens a lock file (nkjv.ldb) and does not remove it after the application exits. Maybe that will help the programmers.

As as addendum, if after opening a script and saving it as a new name, MediaShout v4 opens the previous vice newest script.

Martin, thanks for the reply and the visual. I'm hoping we can continue using the existing remote; especially since we have two of them. Is the power presenter remote an RF remote? – Jeff, on April 25, 2009 19:08

A comment on the question "Remote control of powerpoint file in slideshow" in MediaComplete:

Thanks, James. I will give that a try. The challenge will be the fact that the computer is in the balcony and the pastor is down front. So, taking the remote away from him to fix things is going to be a non-starter. – Jeff, on April 25, 2009 19:00

Jeff replied on April 22, 2009 23:51 to the question "Remote control of powerpoint file in slideshow" in MediaComplete:

I'm now running v107.3.

I've discovered some slide show settings within.

Tools->Settings->Controls->Script Pane Properties->Slide Show Mode->Remote Control (choices: Page Dn & Page Up | DnArrow & UpArrow | "N" & "B" | RightArrow & LeftArrow). The default is Page Dn & Page Up.

Changing the above settings (I tried all of them) seems to have no effect when attempting to use the remote.

When selecting "next" in the remote, the slide selected within the cue moves nine slides forward within the script's cue, but has no effect on the slide being displayed. The displayed slide does not change even though the slide within the cue does move.

Other suggestions?

Thanks!

Remote control of powerpoint file in slideshow

My pastor uses powerpoint in support of his messages. He has an InFocus PresenterRF remote that works great with PPT in show mode.

When we import his PPT file into MediaShout v4, it generates the thumbnails correctly. However, when he tried to advance the slide, the projected slide does not move/change. The slides within the script DO advance.

Is there a setting I need to change?

I'm running build 105.2 today.

Thanks!
Jeff
