In this Issue:
Dear Xequte Software User,
The last time I did a real road trip was in 1990; a friend and I took a couple of girls (much less intimate than it sounds, unfortunately) on a 2000 km tiki tour around New Zealand's South Island in my 20 year old Ford Escort. Alas, since then a considerable amount of Shiraz has been imbibed and thus my only memory of the trip is sneaking three of us into a motel room so we would qualify for the single-pax rate.
So little has prepared me for next month's adventure, a 6,000 mile road trip through the central states of the USA. I was talked into it by a friend last year, soon after I had turned 40, not coincidentally. This time there will be no girls (I'm pretty sure my wife would not have been nearly so supportive if that was the plan), so we can focus on purely blokey activities: visiting the Houston Space Center, climbing a volcano, racing a car at a speedway, hiking in Iowa, etc. Twelve months ago it had seemed such a great idea, now with only a few weeks to go I feel like a squirrel surprised by the first flakes of snow.
Fortunately, the overdue MailList King v11 is now complete, so that at least is one item I can check off!

* Program Tips
- MailList King: Archiving old sending tasks
V11 adds the ability to move complete sending tasks to an "Archive" folder. This allows you to maintain a record of your sending task, while reclaiming some of the disk space used by the task (i.e. deleting the recipient list if it is large).
To archive a task right-click it in the Completed Tasks or Outbox of MailList King and choose "Archive".
An archive folder will then appear in the left-hand folder tree, which you can click to view all tasks. You can un-archive tasks in the same way too (though this is not possible if the task no longer includes a recipient list).
- DVD PixPlay: Searching for your Files
With a large slideshow it can be difficult to quickly navigate and locate particular frames. To counter this we recently added the function to search for frames using their filename, index or any caption that you have added to the frame or is embedded in its IPTC description.
You will find the new search function under Frame > Go to Frame.
- Smart Pix/MegaView: Displaying a Slideshow of Selected Files
One of the most popular features in Smart Pix and MegaView is the slideshow function, which allows you to display all of your images and videos in sequence, or play your music files as one never-ending album. But what if you only want to play a slideshow of a few selected images?
A little-know feature is the ability to play a slideshow of only the selected files. This option is available when you right-click a selection of multiple files.
For more powerful slideshows:
- Right-click a folder in the folder selector and check "Show Sub-Folders" then you will be able to display a slideshow of an entire folder tree
- Use the Favorites function (File > Add to Favorites) to choose specific files for display, then select the "Favorites" tab to display a slideshow of all the files that you marked
