CP5 - Default display times for Text Captions

Hi there,
I'm using Captivate 5.0.1 and trying to figure out how to do something that was in Captivate 4. In CP 4, I could edit the Preferences and set a default display time for new text captions. By default it is set to 3 seconds for all new text captions, but you could change it. In CP 5 the default is set to 3, does anyone know how to change it?
Thanks,
Mark

Hello,
It is exactly in the same place as in Captivate 4: Preferences, Global, Defaults. See screenshot. Or perhaps I do not understand your question well? If you are looking for Apply to all, you have to go in the Properties, but I did not understand that this was your question.

Banner Display Time for One App Only

I recently found an article (http://osxdaily.com/2014/01/29/change-notifications-banner-time-mac-os-x/#commen t-607754) showing a Terminal command to change the default display time for banner-style notification. It's a great thing, but then I thought...could there be any way to apply it to one app at a time? Say I want 10 seconds for Mail.app, 3 seconds for Messages and so forth.
Can it be done? Thanks.

It's called Trip Journal. The problem is, I think, that my iCloud backup wasn't current, because I'm travelling overseas, so data transfer has been largely up, and I don't think it has been backing up even when I was connected to wifi at my hotel.
I did back up my iPhone to the computer this morning -- but that was after the crash occurred, so I don't know if any data will be salvagable.
@Norman - I tried that, multiple times, but it hasn't worked.

Changing default refresh time for the UWL.

Hello,
I am trying to change the Default refresh time for the UWL(workflow inbox) for all the users before they personalize or save the refresh time, Would changing the refresh time in the .xml file work or is there any other way to do it? Thanks,
Aniketh R.

We have had all sorts of issues with this as well. I have been unable to find a solution that works as of yet. From my own debugging it seems as if RP is trying to parse the pasted text as logo's, fields etc.... I am looking at potentially using a script w/ set interval to "clean" the clipboard data but this isn't a perfect solution for numerous reasons.
What is happening to your letters when the users paste? Our letters actually become unusable after a plugin save. So I am actually very interested in the answer to this question!

How to Set A Default Start Time For New Events In Calendar?

How to Set A Default Start Time For New Events In Calendar?

John,
Thanks for that suggestion - could not get it to work. However, I did manage a different approach. I finally determined the sequence of events in terms of how the various events and listeners fire (I think).
Basically, the CalendarActivityListener fires, followed by the listener associated with the Calendar object's Create facet, followed finally by the CalendarEventListener - the final is where the TriggerEvent is available and then finally, control is passed to the popup/dialog in the Create facet. So, my approach of trying to set/get the TriggerDate in the user's HTTP session was doomed to failure because it was being get before it had been set :(
Anyway, I ended up adding a bit of code to the CalendarEvent listener - it grabs the current BindingContext, navigates through the DCBindingContainer to derive an Iterator for the ViewObject which drives the calendar and then grabs the currently active row. I then do a few tests to make sure we're working with a "new" row because I don't want to alter start & end dates associated with an existing calendar entry and then I define the Start and End dates to be the Trigger Date.
Works just fine. Snippet from the listener follows
BindingContext bindingContext = BindingContext.getCurrent();+
*if ( bindingContext != null ) {*+
DCBindingContainer dcBindings = (DCBindingContainer) bindingContext.getCurrentBindingsEntry();+
DCIteratorBinding iterator = dcBindings.findIteratorBinding("EventsView1Iterator");+
Row currentRow = iterator.getCurrentRow();+
if ( currentRow.getAttribute("StartDate") == null)+
currentRow.setAttribute("StartDate", calendarEvent.getTriggerDate());+
if (currentRow.getAttribute("EndDate")==null)+
currentRow.setAttribute("EndDate", calendarEvent.getTriggerDate());+
*}*

Display times for "action objects"

I work on a MacBook Pro, MaxOSX 10.7.5, Captivate 6.
I need to hide a button that we have made as part of a "overlay" GUI - a form of CSS. We created a master project and coded it to be downloaded to all our other projects as a overall GUI.
But in some projects I'd like to hide a single button - not to be able to press. Not through the whole project but after let's say three to five slides. I tried using a simple smartshape but the hidden area can still be clicked. Using clickboxes or button allow me to over ride the "CSS-button" but they have a major flaw: they only last the rest of the slide and I'd like to have them throughout the entire project.
Copy-paste is NOT an option in this case - the project lenghts are vast ...
Is there a clickbox, button, other object or advanced action that could make an "action object" to be displayed throughout the entire project?
Or is there a widget och well trimmed programmer out there that could solve this?
Very grateful for all good tips and answers!
/Cheers!

Hi,
Thank you for the welcoming seems like a good forum
to hang out in and learn new things!
I guess I wasn't as clear as I should when describing
my issue.
In our work we have made a "Master Project" to function
as a sort of CSS (Cascade Style Sheet) - just like you did in
former web design.
The Master Project functions roughly as a Master Slide
but it has some benefits that a Master Slide isn't capable of.
We use the Master Project to export our interface to
all the other projects within the e-learning project.
So instead of having to make changes in the Master Slide
in every project we have a better control of GUI
changes affecting the overall e-learning project.
Your links have given us a great tool to work with!
We have completely missed the possibility to convert
a smartshape to a button and with that making it
posible to be displayed throughout the project.
Many thanks for those tips!
All the best and a happy week-end!

Hello and welcome to the forum, But I don't understand your question very
well. Perhaps it is only a matter of terminology. What do you mean by 'Master
Project'? Is that a template, in which you have a custom theme, perhaps some
advanced actions, variables, and of course master slides? You need interactive
objects on all or a lot of slides, correct? I have been blogging a lot about
the shape buttons, only interactive objects that allow that. Even did a
webinar about them for Adobe. Here are some

<http://blogs.adobe.com/captivate/2012/09/training-lilybiris-favourite-shapes-
to-trigger-advanced-actions.html> If you want control over the visibility of
such a shape button, do not put them on a master slide, but time them for the
rest of the project, starting with the slide where they should appear for the
first time. Reason is that objects on master slides do not have an ID, which
means that they cannot be hidden or disabled using a (advanced) action.

Editing Display Time for Slides

Hello! I'm fairly new to Adobe Captivate and am using version 5.5. I am having trouble changing the display time for some of my slides (Captivate won't let me adjust display time from 4 seconds to 2 seconds), but I can adjust other slides with similar animations with no problems. Does anyone know what could be causing this issue? Thank you!

Hi There,
Can you check your time if you have any image or any object set to rest of the slide, then you need to first change it back to 2 seconds and then change the slide display from 4 to 2 seconds.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Default duration time for importing still images

Hello all,
Is there an easy way to change the default duration time for imported still images?
I have thousands of images that I want to import to make a time elapsed movie. I would like for these images to have a duration of less than a second. I could do this individually, but it would take forever.
Can the default duration time for imported images be changed?
Thanks,
Adam

Hi
Too long time I made anything serious in iMovie HD6 (altough a a very competent editor)
(Took the FinalCut leap)
As I remember (just tested) it - if photos are imported then it's a tedious labor
to set duration - one at a time. No global function I can induce.
BUT - I would put my photos into a separate folder in iPhoto so that they are easy
to get in iMovie from audio/photo browser.
Then I select (in iMovie) the first photo and double click on it to view it on canvas.
Now I also get a small gray window where I can set size and duration.
I select 01:00 (1 sec) in duration and Apply/Use.
Then I selec the rest of the photos and drag them down to TimeLine after first
photo. And they also get same duration of 01:00.
Yours Bengt W

Editing the display time for grouped objects

Hello, I am having issues editing the display time for grouped items. I am using Captivate 7 and I love how now the grouped items only show as one item in the timeline because it reduces the number of rows visiblein the timeline for each object on a slide. However, now that the grouped objects no longer individually appear in the timeline, I can't make any display adjustments to the grouped objects as a whole.
Has anyone else had this issue and is there a work around? My main issue is that if I have to extend or shorten the audio for the slide, and I have assigned an advanced action to the grouped object, in order to adjust the grouped object to match the audio, I have to now ungroup, make the adjustment, regroup, then reset the advanced action using the new group name. It is frustrating and time consuming.

To expand and view the grouped items on the timeline, you need to click the Arrow symbol next to the group name. Once you expand, you can select the individual object and adjust the timings.
Alternatively, you can select the individual object of the group on the slide and adjust the timings from the Timing accordion. You can do this without ungrouping.

I bought an LG phone and a $35 dollar plan card. Less than a week later it said I was out of time for texts. Apparently it only gave me minutes, not the plan I wanted. Is there any way I can get the plan without paying again?

I bought an LG phone and a $35 dollar plan card. Less than a week later it said I was out of time for texts. Apparently it only gave me minutes, not the plan I wanted. Is there any way I can get the plan without paying again?

So you bought a plan and used it all and want another one for free? I understand you thought it had more texts or whatnot but they won't do that since you already used the other plan.
That's like going to McDonalds and ordering a double cheeseburger, them giving you a double cheeseburger, you eating it and then realizing you wanted a double quarter pounder and expecting them to give it to you free.

Set the default border color for text fields?

My InfoPath 2010 text field borders are defaulting to white for some reason (which basically means invisible on a white form). Do y'all know if there's a way to set this somewhere? Drop-downs (for example) are still showing up as the light-grey.
Maybe I accidentally tweaked it but now I can't see where.

Hi
if you want the change color of all the field in new form,edit form and view form then share point designer can help you in that case.
Or you can user page layout in info-path form

How can i control the duration of the display of a text caption?

I have five buttons on the screen. I wish to realize this: click on any of the button, a corresponding text caption will appear and stays for 5 seconds, or until next button is clicked.
Can someone tell me how to realize this?
Thank you.

Hello,
Tried this out, seems to work:
create a user variable v_start that will store the number of the first frame
create an advanced action Start, to be triggered on entering the slide, with two statements:
Assign v_start with rdinfoCurrentFrame
Continue
create the 5 text captions and set them to invisible, I labeled them TC_One, TC_Two, TC_Three, TC_Four, TC_Five; they should start from the beginning of the slide and timed for 5secs
create the 5 buttons, each of them will trigger an advanced action
create the advanced actions One, Two... Five to be triggered by the buttons, with those statements (here example for action One):
Show TC_One
Hide TC_Two
Hide TC_Three
Hide TC_Four
Hide TC_Five
Assign rdcmndGotoFrame with v_start this will send the playhead to the first frame, and text caption will show up for 5 secs
Continue

Default font size for Text screen in customer document

We use the text function to enter additional customer data for customer invoice correspondence. The data is pasted from a Word document onto an existing invoice document using menu Extras - Texts - select Correspondence then paste.
Once pasted the tab funstion is used to line up the data.
The default font within the 'Text' screen is different from the default font used in the correspondence. This causes a misalighnment of the text when printing the invoice.
How do I change the default font size in the 'Text' screen. This is probably more of a techie than functional uestion. The SAP screen is SAPLSTXX (via either FB03 or FBl5N)

Displaying Time-Dependent Text in BEx

I have a report which displays texts of the OrgUnit. The infoobject OrgUnit has time-dependent text.
I would like to display on the Bex report text information valid at the time in history.
Example:
OrgUnit Begda         Endda          Text
111        1/1/2003     6/30/2003      ABC
111        7/1/2003    12/31/9999     XYZ
When I run the report in history say before 6/30/2003, I would like to see 'ABC' text.
Please advise.
-Sonny

Just go into 0ORGUNIT and choose the option: Texts are time-dependent. You cannot have texts as a navigational attribute.
However, if you wanted to make them navigational, you would need to create a new attribute and insert the uppercase text values into it. Make this attribute navigational in both 0orgunit and your cube/ods.
However, it is much easier to just make your texts time-dependent.

Display score for text entry

Is there any way that allow me to diaplay the score sheet for
text entry? wat the example taught in authorware is in response
with buttons.
Thanks.

A score is a score. So if you have scored the text entry you
should be able
to display it exactly how you've been taught to display it.
Not sure what
you mean by "taught in authorware" but the same principles
should apply.

Extremely long display times for HTML in mail and Safari

Is anyone else experiencing similar lags in HTML rendering?
Since upgrading to Mountain Lion, I am experiencing extremely long render times for display HTML email messages in mail. I am also experiencing extremely long render times in Safari. I have Chrome installed on this same computer, if I goto the same website on Chrome and Safari, Chrome displays the page immediatly, Safari will take between 30sec and 1 minute.

The only way it can get fixed is if you report it to Adobe. Posting it here may not be sufficient. There is an Acrobat feature request forum here and a bug report form here: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
