![]() However, I discovered Fotomagico through an online review, decided to give it a try and was reasonably pleased with their earlier versions. After becoming a very happy Windows user seven years ago, I continued to search for high quality slideshow software but found there wasn’t much available for Macs. I was a Windows PC user for many years and used a great slideshow software (ProShow Gold by Photodex) unfortunately, it is only for the Windows environment. something very rare from any business in this day and age. I offer a hearty congratualtions to Boinx for responsive action. The latest update (5.5.3) appears to have resolved ALL the issues I experienced. I'm VERY impressed with the caring & personal response from Boinx tech support. UPDATE Dec 9, 2017: Changing rating from 3 to 5. NOTE: I acknowledge the possibility the High Sierra OS upgrade has a part to play in this issue. Needless to say this more than doubles the time to create each-and-every project.Īs a former (Windows) software test engineer I find this totally unacceptable!Ĭould the issue reside wherever the Preferences & Settings information is kept? (.plist file?) Whatever, it needs to be fixed. It resets to defaults everything! Whether it is the settings for one specific slideshow, or the font type/size/color for titles, the volume of audio clips, in short, it resets everything. Now if the problem was restricted to the overall Preferences, I could probably live with it, checking them every time I used the app and immediately after beginning a new project.īut now I've found it affects EVERY setting in the app. Yet in that time, the Preferences had reset on their own at least a dozen times. I did so and had no instability for barely a half-dozen uses before experiencing the same thing.īoinx Support asked if I could document the issue with QuickTime full-screen videos, to which I agreed.īeing so inconsistent, I was unable to document opening FM5, changing all the Preferences to what I want, closing the app, reopening it and checking to see if Preferences changed or not.Īfter many attempts over a week of use I was unable to 'document' it on video. And the only way to fix it was to begin another project from scratch.Īfter contacting Boinx support they recommended flushing the app form the Windows then reinstalling FotoMagico 5. like from 16:9 to 4k, which I only found out after 'Sharing'. Even worse, settings would change in the middle of a project. I took a quick liking to it and as I gained experience with more of the features I thought I'd found the gem.įrom one use to the next of the app I found instability in the Preferences and Settings. ![]() Between surviving on a meager retirement income yet wishing to merge thousands of my photos from 20 years ago into slideshows, I sought a reasonably simple yet inexpensive slideshow app.Īfter research and based on reviews, I decided on FotoMagico 5.
