Captivate 4 disable placeholders appearing on deletion?

When I delete an object -- caption, image, whatever -- on a slide, it is replaced by a placeholder, which I then also delete. I've turned off the warning about deleting objects but still get the placeholder. How can I convince Captivate to just get rid of the object entirely?
This has got to be a Captivate setting, but I sure can't find it. Plus this is new -- previously it didn't happen -- or perhaps I'm imagining that it didn't.

Hi there
This has to be a project created using the new template feature of Captivate. And you are correct that it's something new.
In Captivate templates we now have placeholders that are inserted. They are then replaced by counterparts when we create projects using the templates.
This is more than likely by design that the placeholder is left behind. After all, its purpose is to guide you along with a representation of what should be inserted into that area. Fortunately you are able to delete it if you like. Even though it requires an additonal step.
I'm unaware of a setting to govern whether the placeholder is deleted upon deleting something inserted into it. So you may wish to suggest it to the Adobe folks.

  • URGENT: All accounts on resource appear as deleted on reconcile

    IDM 6.0 SP1 Production Issue.
    I have a problem where all accounts on a resource type have started appearing as DELETED when I do a full reconcile. This has only started today and worked in the scheduled reconcile this morning.
    Resource Type is ORACLE, but I had a similar problem with a scripted gateway adapter a couple of weeks ago and worked around that by converting it to a database adapter (my thinking was that there was something wrong with the scripted gateway adapter).
    Anybody seen this kind of thing before?
    Possible repository corruption?

    Solution found: The client has different naming standards for OPS$ accounts in production and acceptance and the code change was missed on the go-live.

    Hello Errappa,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    I was thinking that it would be a good idea for you to call our Account Security team about what may be happening with the account.
    Note: You will need to be able to verify the account.

  • Adobe Captivate Collaboration – Same Comments Appearing in Different Files

    Hi All,
    I am having problems with the collaboration process. I reviewed a file yesterday and today I went to review a different file and it has the same comments I created in the other file yesterday.
    More details:
    I sent a captivate file to a collogue to review using the collaboration process (file > collaborate > send file for shared review).  I choose to collect comments via my internal server.  I made two new folders
    one for comments and one for review.  My collogue made comments and exported the file back and everything appeared fine, however today I sent my collogue anther file to review using the same process as above and she sees the same comments she made on my other file yesterday. 
    Why are the comments on one file appearing in the other file before it is even reviewed?
    I can not find anyway for the comments to be deleted as a work around either.
    If anyone has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you
    Amanda

    Amanda-
    Have you had any luck solving this issue?  I have five *.CREV files that have been reviewed by  two people and for three of the lesson that one person commented on, all of their comments are the same even though they are in separate folders.  I also have the issue of comments appearing when it is a brand new file.  Thanks for any followup info you can provide.

  • Adobe Captivate 4 Answers not appearing on quiz slide

    I have quiz slides in my project with single answer multiple choice questions.
    Sometimes on my slides as they are playing the letters for the choices appear but the answers do not.
    I hit the right button on my mouse and refresh the page and they appear.
    Please let me know if there is something I can do to assure the answers appear all the time.
    Thank you,
    David Gambal

    As far as I am aware, deleting or replacing the Question Title or Question Text captions in quiz questions in any version of Captivate will cause issues.  So don't do it.
    You do not need to always choose Optional as your Preferences > Quiz Settings > Required setting.  But if you choose one of the other more restrictive options this drop down offers (Required, Pass Required, Answer All) then you may run into strange issues where your quiz seems to stall for no apparent reason, especially in situations where you try to Retake Quiz or move back and forth from quiz questions to content slides.  I recommend you start with Optional, and then once you have everything working perfectly, try the other settings if you really feel the need.  Personally, I never seem to use them.

  • Disabling  HTTP Methods: Put, Delete, Trace

    Hello Everyone.
    I am faced with the problem that I can not figure out how to disable the HTTP methods PUT, DELETE, TRACE.
    We are running a Sun ONE App Server 7.0.0_05 install in a Linux environment.
    What documentation exists that details the precedures on how to disabel the HTTP methods on the web server? Or if someone can point me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it.
    Thank you.

    1) Why would TRACE and OPTION request specifying HTTP 1.0 vs. 1.1 yield such different results?
    Web Server 6.0 only implements the TRACE and OPTIONS methods for HTTP/1.1, not HTTP/1.0. This is reasonable as TRACE and OPTIONS are part of the HTTP/1.1 protocol and not the HTTP/1.0 protocol.
    In other words, TRACE is always disabled for HTTP/1.0 requests, even if you don't use the set-variable work around.
    2) Is the OPTIONS command a legitimate test of whether this fix works? If it is, has anyone managed to have the command return an "Allow:" line MINUS the TRACE?
    Nope, not in Web Server 6.0. OPTIONS will always list TRACE. (Note that in Web Server 6.1, TRACE is not as tightly integrated into the server core. As a result, OPTIONS will conditionally list TRACE in 6.1.)
    3) Has anyone managed to generate a 501 error message after specifying TRACE / HTTP/1.1 instead of 1.0?
    Nope, not in Web Server 6.0.
    4) Does this fix really work?
    I wouldn't call it a fix; it's a work around. However, it does effectively disable TRACE. The work around is a bit of a kludge, resulting in the odd 413 status code.
    The real "fix" appears in Web Server 6.1 where you can disable TRACE simply by commenting out the Service method="TRACE" fn="service-trace" line in obj.conf.

  • Motorola Services Contact re-appears after delete and multiple times

    I have owned this Motorola Droid 3 for a week or so and I am having problems with Contacts. I have successful syncs with gmail, but I don't know why some contacts continue to reappear and continue to be added in spite of deleting them and in spite of already having a contact with the same name. When one edits a contact I want which is in gmail, scrolling the edit page reveals multiple instances of the same contact labeled "Motorola Services Contac". Then if I delete this contact, after a couple of hours, the deleted contact re-appears with multiple instances again. The multiple instances continue to grow and eventually the contact application boggs down. Can anyone help?

    My gmail account contacts are the ones I want. The "Motorola Services contacts" list include the gmail ones, and ones that have been deleted. When I delete all the contacts in the phone by using an App (MyPhoneExplorer), the phone contact list ends up being the precise list that's in gmail, the list I want. A few hours later the "Motorola Services contact" list reappears. Apparently this happens every few hours, as you see repeated instances of all the "Motorola Services contacts" joined as I see by editing a contact. It is as the "Motorola Services contacts" are somewhere in the phone memory. My Backup Assistant list in verizon is empty. I guess I will visit the Verizon rep as I have cleared data areas in the sync services, and any other attempt I make does not cure this problem for me....  Al

  • Exposé hot keys disabled after Time Machine "Delete all backups of file"

    I have been having the same problem that was initially mentioned in this topic:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5850265#5850265
    Namely, sometimes after I restart all of my Exposé and Dashboard hot keys have been turned off (but not the Spaces hotkey, just F9-F12). My hot corners for turning off or on the screensaver work just fine, but I have to manually go in and turn back on my Exposé hot keys. Some people said it was associate with WoW, but I am not running World of Warcraft. This last time it happened (this morning), I had removed all backups of a few files in Time Machine (what's the point of having a backup of a rented movie after the 24 hour viewing period has expired?). I have been looking for a way to report this to Apple, but have been unable thus far.
    I just tested it to see if you have to restart, and you do not. About thirty minutes ago I turned all the Exposé hot keys on, and just a minute ago I deleted a backup of a file on my Desktop in Time Machine (by selecting, "Delete all backups of file ______") and the hot keys had been disabled again.
    Does anyone know if there is a way to fix this?

    Mechanist wrote:
    At some point I told Time Machine to get rid of backups of a particular file using the "Delete all backups of ..." option. Time Machine duly deleted the backups of the file and stopped making new ones.
    Not exactly.  It did delete the existing backups, but didn't make any new ones because the file hasn't changed since then.
    The easiest way to get it to back it up is to make a minor change to it (the name or something in the contents), then change it back.  Time Machine should back it up on the next backup.
    Alternatively, you need to force a "deep scan," where Time Machine compares everything on your system to the backups.  Usually, just starting up from your Recovery HD will do that, although sometimes you have to start from it and Repair your internal HD to trigger it. 
    If you're not sure how to do that, see Using the Recovery HD and/or #6 in Using Disk Utility.

  • Disabling User instead of deleting

    I'm using OIM 9031.
    I've created a custom access policy which grants user a resource (OEBS) based on his group membership.
    When user is no longer a member of group, his account is deleted from assigned resource. How do I change the behavior of OIM so that user account in OEBS would be blocked instead of completely deleted?

    Yes, I want the account to be reanabled after the user is a member of a group again. No idea how to change the provisioning workflow...
    Maybe, I should add two new tasks, for enabling/disabling user, but then I must somehow incorporate 'enable user' task into my workflow. It may require 3rd task which checks if user account already exists (e.g. is user already provisioned the resource) and depending on response code, it may launch either create or enable task...

  • Making disabled links appear like textview

    Hi there,
    I have to display a combination of links and textviews in the same column within a table.  Because I cannot intermix cell editor types in the same column, I have to disable the links in order to achieve this.  The issue then is, my disabled links are greyed out, when in fact, I want them to be a solid black (appearing like textviews)  Does anyone have any hints as how I can do this?
    Thanks,
    MP

    If you don't mind that the link remains clickable, you might set its "type" property value to WDLinkType.RESULT. I'm not sure if a disabled link of this type is also greyed out, you might check this out.

  • How to disable confirm dialog when deleting messag...

    It is really annoying that each time I delete a message, I have to confirm. How can I disable that on the Lumia 920?
    Also, I spend a long time trying to figure out why my phone did not come with Nokia Music in denmak, after alomost 1 hour searching on the net, I found out that the service do not exist in Denmark... Why not just have the Nokia Music in the App store and just show a message when people try to install it, saying that its not availble in the user's country?

    You can't dsable the confirmation, but you can reduce the number of times you need to confirm to just once by marking the messages you wish to delete first. Shortcut for marking messages is to tap the left hand edge of the message you with to mark.  

  • Reminders still appearing after deletion

    I have an issue with the reminders app on my iphone in which a certain location based reminder keeps appearing when i get to this location even though i deleted it months ago.  Any ideas would be great. I have a feelingi might need to reset the phone and really don't wanna do that.
    Thanks

    Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears)
    Don't worry, you won't lose anything.
