Link to other project - CAPS error

Using Captivate 3 and publishing as htm/swf files
I have created a menu - each button links to another Captivate project (that is a .cp file)
One of the 5 buttons was linked to Create_send_email.cp.
To publish in our LMS I renamed the file create_send_email.cp. (It prefers all lower case)
Captivate won't allow me to change the link.
Every time I delete the Create_send_email Project, and browse to select the create_send_email.cp project it simple reinstates the upper case C.
Btw I havbe browsed the KBase and the forums... and I gether there is an issue with linking to other projects. Also read about the cache in Captivate 5 but perhaps not relevant here??
Thanks

This error appears have to sorted itself after I republished everything - perhaps the upper case C displayed in the Button properties was removed by the publish process.
Regards

Using Captivate 4: Link to other project is not working

hi,
I am using Captivate4. I want to give action to the click button to open other project, but it is not working. What should I do, any specific settings, so that it start working.
Thanks in advance.
Lucky

Hi again
Ideally, yes. You typically see the best and most predictable result when linking like to like. If you are willing to live with the idiosyncracies of mixing output formats, you are also free to link EXE to SWF or Vice Versa.

Link to other project

Hi!
I am a Captivate beginner. I am trying to link to another project from a button. I selected:
If user clicks on button:
On Success - Open other project
Project - (Name of project)
When I try to project it to test it out, I get the following message: "The project (Name of project).htm, (Name of project).swf is launched at this point but is unavailable from this preview."
What am I doing wrong? Thank you for your help!!!!

Hi there
You aren't doing anything wrong. You are testing from a Preview. The message is telling you that you will need to Publish it to see it in action.

Updating projects with activities linked to other projects.

Im kind of new at this. I am working on a project with several contracts. i am thinking of setting up each contract as a separate project in an EPS and linking the milestones in all the projects to create a master schedule. On a weekly basis i recieve schedule updates from the contractors. What im wondering is if there is a way i can copy the new schedule in with all the updates without having to re-link all the activities everytime I get an updated schedule? also is this the best way to create a master schedule?

*794503,*
It sounds like your sub projects (contracts) are in sort of a design on the go mode?
To make things a little more manageable I would suggest that you establish a set of standard start and finish milestones for each project in order for you to be able to ensure that your master project major milestones (hopefully integrated with your cost or earned value milestones) remain logically tied to those designated sub project milestones.
With that said, I would just paste the new edition of each contract's schedule into their respective projects. I would make an export (.XER) backup before pasting any new data. It's better to be safe than sorry!
Be mindful of the fact that you probably need to make sure that the logic ties gets pasted by not clicking the box (Relationships / Only between copied activities) on the "Copy Act. Options" dialog box. Otherwise, you'll have to manually tie all of the logic again. A royal pain in the "A" double "S"!!
**Use a copy of the latest project/contract schedule update and as a baseline. Format your bars to also display that baseline schedule on row #2. Also insert a schedule variance column to display date changes between your original vs. newly updated schedule. For analysis of changes.....maybe build a new layout and filter to only display those act's that have major date changes (sched. variances)?
**Another tool to use after the fact would be *"Claim Digger"* in order to analyze the details of what changes were made with each new schedule update.
There is no way to eliminate all of the manual work. :( Some manual verification will always have to be performed.
It would be very smart to get a good grip on how you'll handle these changes early in the project before the situation gets out of hand.
For every "schedule change" made to your schedule the chance of a scheduling error increases. So there you go.
Good luck and let me know how it turns out.

Cprojects and object links to other project phases

Hi experts,
Have anyone of you some ideas how to creating a object link to another phase in another project? Are there possibilites for enhancing the the type of objects link via a BAPI or something in cProjects 4.0?
Thanks, Camilla

Hi Camella,
You can try this in IMG activity
"Make Settings for the Linked SAP Objects". But you need to try copy an existing entry and change relevant tables parameters
I have done this for R/3 Transaction in cProjects 4.0 + ECC 6.0 and Iam sure it will work for Project Phase also
Pls,let me know the version you are trying this feature

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Open Other Project not closing original file

Hello All,
I have a total of 55 exe files that are all accessed through
one captivate file called "Interface". I am experiencing some
inconsistent errors with the "Open other project" feature when
testing this on a computer other than my own. Basically, a user
will be in the interface file and click on a course they would like
to take. Let's say for example, they choose to take an interviewing
course. When they click Interviewing, the interface disappears and
they see the desktop or sometimes a white screen while Interview is
being opened. Sometimes, the course never shows up so I use my
CTL+Alt+Delete/Task Manager to view what has happened and I am
finding that Interface and Interview are both open and are
minimized on my toolbar. If the user doesn't use CTL+ALT Delete,
they would never even know their course opened because for some
reason they can only see a white screen. Ideally, I would like the
Interface file to close down as soon as the user clicks on another
course. I have it set to "Open Other Project" and selected Current
but still it is keeping the Interface open (sometimes). Again, the
errors are pretty inconsistent. One day it works perfectly and the
next day I am getting what I described above. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Kim

Hi Kim
It's common that the EXE format doesn't close when opening
another project. So here's something you may wish to try. Button
and Click Box objects normally allow the slide to continue playing
when clicked by the user. Assuming all of them are identically
timed for the pause, you might simply allow a click on any of them
to allow the project to continue playing. Then configure the end
action to be that of closing the project.
My thought here is that perhaps a click on the object (Click
Box or Button) will cause the project to continue briefly, then
terminate. This should close it down. Then at the end of the
projects you linked to, have their end action to be to open the
menu back up. Then have them close down.
Hopefully that makes a bit of sense.
Cheers... Rick

Can't open project - "general error"

I had literally just finished a project for Blu-ray. All done. I began locating transcode files for DVD for my assets so that I could build a DVD image file in addition to the Blu-ray one I intended to create. Encore didn't seem to like that all that much, and occasionaly found media to be offline, even when it wasn't offline. When at last it appeared that it was finally in agreement with me, I saved the project and exited the program.
Now, I cannot open the project. The project begins to load, I can even see my assets appear in the project window. But then, I receive the infamous "General Error" message. I hit ok, and the project immediatly closes. Sometimes I get dozens of "General Error" messages, but the result is always the same. The project closes and I am left wondering what the heck happened.
I would really like not to have to build this project all over again from scratch. So any thoughts or advice is appreciated. I'm growing increasingly frustrated with the bugs in Encore.
Things I have already tried:
Moving project location
Copying, changing project names
Deleting the transcoded DVD files and folders in "transcodes" and/or "sources" folders
Restarting
Opening other projects. (They all work, only this one gets the error.)
Searching, googling, and reading through this and other forums for answers.
My machine:
Windows 7 64bit
Adobe Encore CS6.0.2.004
All my assets are previously encoded in Media Encoder, so I am not using any Dynamic Links.

Try this:

I don't hold much hope with some of the steps you took (moving project etc).

After Effects CS 11.0.4.2: Problem loading project file (error loading plugins etc.)

Hello Adobe community,
after creating a new project a few days ago, my After Effects CS6 v.11.0.4 has a problem with opening the project. Only this project can't open (everything else opens).
I atteched some pictures to explain my problem better.
I created a video in AE and used the warp stabilization. Ater 2 days i wanted to work on the project. If i open it up it loads and brings up a problem window. (see picture 1)
It says "After Effects Problem: After Effects crashed while opening the Effect-Plugin 'warp stabilization'".
By clicking "Ok", another problem window opens up. (see picture 2)
It says "After Effects Problem: After Effects crashed while opening the Effect-Plugin 'auto color'".
If i click "Ok", the next window comes up. (see picture 3)
It says "Cash at Processing. Latest protocolled Notification: <6796> <ae.blitpipe> <2> Making New Context"
After clicking OK again, it says i can save a copy of the project. (picture 4)
This pops up after saving. (picture 5)
After that AE cloeses.
If i open up the new projectfile, it brings up this problem. (see picture 6)
---> "After Effects Problem: Missing Data in file"
But sometimes it says "No valid file-type"
What can i do? Every other project with warp stabilization opens up.
Does this mean i have to start from the beginning?
Is this problem known by anyone of the community?
You can see the files by following the link and unzipping it: Dropbox - autobot_drive.zip
Please help me!

Can you import that problematic project into a brand new one?
If you enable caps lock before opening the problematic project, does it open?

Error message when opening current project/sequence error?

Hi!
So I'm working with a project, a very simple timeline with vids transcoded to cineform codec. Everything is working beautiful. But every time I open the project to continue working on it, it shows me a strange error message that won't allow me to open my project. Is very stressful. I have to try many times until suddenly it opens the project. I always try to open it from all possible ways (double clicking on the project, from Premiere directly, etc) and is always the same issue. Until after many attempts it decides to open it. Does anyone know what's going on? This is the pop up message:
Thanks so much for the help.

Encountering a "Project Save Error"

Hello -
I'm running Adobe's Creative Suite on a MBP with OSX 10.8.2. Since installing CS6, I've encountered the following problem with Adobe Premiere Pro: whenever I attempt to save the project, I get a "project save error" telling me I need to choose "save as" and save the project to another location. I can save another version of the project to any location, including the location where the original file is saved. This is a hassle, since it leads to several versions of a project sitting in one location. Does anyone have a way around this? So far, I've tried fixing disk permissions, uninstalling/reinstalling Premiere Pro, and saving to MacHD instead of my external hard drive, all with no success. I am attaching a screen shot of the error message in hopes that it helps. Thanks for your help,
Steve

Unable to link to another project

Hi there
Relatively new to captivate, so just wondered if somebody
tell me if I'm doing something wrong. I have created a quiz with
about 30 questions. At the end of the quiz I want the user if they
require to link to a different project with a detailed explanation
about the correct answer to each question (I know I could do this
in the review section of each question, but there doesn't seem to
be enough room within the review question textbox to place the
answer and there seems no way to create a scrolling textbox in
captivate
when I create a slide and place a button on the slide linking
it to another project, when I view that slide in the Web browser
and click on the button it won't take me to the new project, and
comes up with an error message about not finding the file.
Any insight as to what I'm doing wrong would be greatly
appreciated.

Hi simonapsey
When you assigned the action to the button, exactly what
action did you assign? If you selected "Open other project", you
should have been prompted to navigate to where the other project
exists on your hard drive. After you publish, you then need to
ensure that both outputs exist in the same folder.

Open Other Project Feature Follow up ?

I just posted a question in regards to "Open Other Project"
button giving me inconsistent results. I was reading other posts to
try to find an answer when something I read made me question
myself.
When I am setting "Open Other Project" as an option, I
actually typed the name of the file that I want to link to. For
instance I type Interview. I do not add .exe to the end of the file
or .cp. Okay, I just thought about trying to select the exe file
from the ...button but realized that it would only allow me to
connect to a .cp file. Hmmmmm.
So, my question is - did I mess up by typing the name of my
file with no extension? Should I actually be linking to another .cp
file? Since these all need to be executables, will I have issues
with the Interface searching for .cp file instead of an .exe?
Hope this makes some kind of sense to someone.
Thanks,
Kim

Thanks for the response Rick. Did you happen to see my other
post about my exe files not closing when they open another project?
It is causing me some MAJOR issues. Basically if the interface
doesn't close, then the file that it is trying to switch to takes a
very long time to open and could cause the user to think they need
to click on the button again which as you can imagine creates an
even bigger issue. Any thoughts?

"Unable to Open Project File" - error

Does anyone know how to resolve an "Unable to Open Project File" - error. I accidentally shut down my computer wrong, although Final Cut wasn't open.

Welcome to the forums.
The project file might have gotten corrupted. Look for the AUTOSAVE VAULT (typically in the DOCUMENTS>FINAL CUT PRO DOCUMENTS folder) and open the most recent version. Copy it to your main project folder if it works.
If not, then try trashing your prefs with FCP Rescue.
