I have kept the beta tester group of SlideMagic 2.0 very small exactly for this reason: I am moving things around on the template server that will break access of older beta versions that are around. Sorry for this, a new version will become available soon.

The changes are needed to maintain a good search performance as the size of the template database grows and involves a lot more image-heavy slides. Also, I am working on the marketing site that will allow searching of templates for non-subscribers without the ability to download them, to get a preview of what is cooking in the kitchen.

A side-effect of this is that I will offer subscribers a web-based download option, useful for those who are not interested in using the new SlideMagic edit app (even if they should), but want the layout straight in PowerPoint format. The server is now able to turn .magic files directly into PowerPoint slides.

A happy 2020 to all of you!
