The numbers I see in the transitions tab of my PD 365 DO equate. I see a total of 199, and I have indeed 199 transitions, at least when I total the counts on each line. Included are the downloaded and Custom transitions.
One can wonder of course how valuable it is to have a precise mention of totals. And even if it is important to have a count of all the variations per single transition, other than for commercial purposes?
And: Even Convergence, DropBox, Stripe Wipe, Tumbling Dice & Zipper are all there (in my installation they appear to be residing in the folders of action Pack 2d transitions, in program files (x86) / Cyberlink /Templates ........)
My assumption is that PD18 (365) collects the transitions, particles etc. from that various known folders at start up. One may have noticed that the details behind the tabs are filled in with some delay.
Looking at the folders at the obvious and not so obvious places, I see that transitions, but also other "specials" can be all over the place. In folders of former versions, in folders as part of (some) Content Packs like the Action Pack I mentioned.
I can understand and do appreciate it that Cyberlink has made some effort in making sure that the transitions and other stuff from previous versions are still available, taking into account that users may skip versions and do or don't have 365. Even settings can be found in the "all users" and the "public" user folders (the latter contains some downloaded stuff, at least in my installation).
One may also recall with me discussions, also in this forum space, about moving templates from one to another folder after having moved to a newer version? I can imagine that Cyberlink eventually wants (has!) to reorganize this a bit, otherwise somewhere the loading of their software will become slower than acceptable (even with the usage of links in the registry). Some sort of automated collection and moving process could be a solution? Maybe even as part of the Application manager?(In any case I would strongly recommend an automated and properly tested backup meganism.....
Besides the speed, such reorganization may also help users getting their collection in order e.g. when transferring to another computer.... Of course there may be the problem of transitions (etc.) not being downwards compatible or to maintaining downwards compatibility in newer software. I see that in (folder- ) version naming and in .XML files version numbering in some but not all cases is already used. Consistency should be key.
But I agree, although intriguing, and even annoying if you see that the transitions you always used are lost when moving to a newer version, I also don’t lose too much sleep over it. Cyberlink eventually should.
My two cents....
