First, Robert, thanks for the link to your well-written write-up.
However, I seem to be the only one still having problems. Unlike Cynthia, and unlike a user in a different thread, just reading the write-up didn't help me. Yes, now I understand the difference between the Modify and the Author tabs. But there are other issues.
Before I continue, let me say that I LOVE every other aspect of PowerDirector. What a great program! But their menu creation has to be the most difficult, least user-friendly interface since the days of DOS. I'm pretty good with these things, and I can't figure it out.
Okay, here are my questions...
1) First, do I HAVE to have two separate menu pages -- a Main Page and a Chapter Page (I'm not using Subtitles)? I'd much rather have just one page that says "Play All Chapters," and then lists the chapters individually.
2) I kind of gather the answer to my first question is yes, I DO have to have separate menu pages, a Main and a Chapter. If so, fine. It seems like I have to create each one of them separately. But how do I know which will be attached to which?
3) I input changes in my Main menu page under "Author," and it didn't save them. I read JL's nice reply to Cynthia, but really... am I required to open up Windows Explorer and navigate through the trees to modify an XML file so that PowerDirector will save my menu? I'm not really sure what JL meant by all that (it might be me... Cynthia seemed to understand), but even if I understood it perfectly, why should we have to do that?
All I want is a simple menu, with no buttons, just type. A headline, a Play All and a list of three chapters. It shouldn't be this difficult. Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance for your reply. And if the Cyberlink people are reading these forums, please bring the Menu Creation function up to the standards of the rest of the program!
