Jiellesse Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 I use the version number 9.0.10 (last one available ?). The "Go to slide with name" button does not work properly: sometimes it goes to the right slide, sometimes it goes to the first slide. I don't know in which context it works. Changing the name of the slide has changed the behavior one time, but trying with another button the same action does not work. Any idea ? Many thanks.

davegee Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 Having multiple "blank" slides or slides with the same name can cause problems. DG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiellesse Posted July 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 There is no blank slide. Is there a way to find slides with the same name ? There is a way to get a description of the slideshow in a kind of xmp file, but I don't know how to filter the image names Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davegee Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 Can you upload a SHORT project in a zip archive which demonstrates the problem? Limit is around 3mb. DG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davegee Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 Please try this Style which adds a Menu (HOME) Slide and Nine Slides Linked from the Menu. Clicking on a Link takes you to the "Slide with name" and Clicking on HOME takes you back to the Menu (HOME) Slide. Apply to a single BLANK slide. Analyse.

Jiellesse Posted July 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 Nice, your sample works properly. I will try to make a small example from my own project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiellesse Posted July 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 I have removed most of the slides from the original slideshow and the behavior is now different. However it is still bad... When you click on the buttons slide 2: Izoard and Abries are OK, Ristolas is not. Any time you change something, the behavior change, therefore it was difficult to make a small exemple. I have noticed another strange behavior: changing quickly the name of the slide, I made a mistake and I have added a name for a sound file. There is an error when you save the file, which is right, but in the screen the list of lacking file is empty. Thanks for your time! File in the next post because if you post then delete a file before sending (replace a file in fact), the size of the previous file is not subtracted.

davegee Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 In your short example I deleted your Slide 6 and rebuilt it and it now works perfectly. I cannot say what the problem was but rebuilding it by dragging the Ristolas.jpeg into the Slide list cured the problem. I also had to renew the Link in Slide 2.

Jiellesse Posted July 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 This is a temporary "solution" for a small example, but not for a slideshow with 250 slides and numerous links. I have already renewed all these links between buttons and slide names several times with no result: to make changes without any logical reason to try if the modified slideshow would work has combinatorial limit! The only solution for me is to split the slideshow into smaller ones, and then to replace the "goto" by "run a slideshow". Anyway, the problem exists and is not fixed: when the slide index is wrong, the goto slide 1 is forced. JL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt49 Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 There is an odd behavior of V8 and V9 in cases when you have a slide with a name that is different from the name of the included main image, and if you then delete the slide name. Example: You insert a new blank slide, open its O&A window, and insert some main image, say MyImage.jpg. Save the project. Now open the project file with a text editor, and you will see for your new slide "SlideID=Blank". Open the project again, open the new slide's options and delete the slide name "Blank". Click OK and save the project. The slide list now shows our new slide with the name "MyImage". But if we look at the project file again, we see "SlideID= ". If we now open some other slide and insert a Go To action to our new slide with name "MyImage" but with empty SlideID, the Go To command will not work.
