  • Saving Captivate project freezes pc

    I have a user at the office, when she tries to save a
    captivate project (project specs below) it will freeze her machine
    (this is not an Export, just a captivate save), Exports seem to
    work just fine.
    Project Specs:
    This is an established project that I'm making minor
    revisions on. The last project was 231MB, but the one before was
    103MB. The size didn't seem to matter much.
    Only Captivate locks up. I did wait yesterday after getting a
    "No Response" on the program, and it took 27 minutes to finally
    save.
    Slide #: 50-88 slides
    Audio: Yes (on every slide)
    Objects: Graphics (background page
    Other special features: Interactive elements that Captivate
    offers (transitions & simulation of software)
    Let me know if there is any other information that i can
    supply to help with this.

    Hi Accurohealth,
    A few things might help with saving this rather large
    Captivate file. You don't say whether you are using Captivate 1 or
    2.
    - Make sure the file is residing on the local hard drive
    (C:).
    - Try doing Save As instead of Save. This is good practice to
    periodically do - Save As appears to optimize the file's data.
    - If using Captivate 2, open the Library and delete any
    unused items.
    - With a file as large as this one, the Save process can take
    a long time, especially after making a lot of modications to the
    file. Try waiting it out and see if Captivate finishes saving.
    - You could also try saving more often. If you recently saved
    and then closed the file, the next time you open & save it
    usually finishes faster.
    - Some other things that could help: close the Captivate file
    immediately after saving, do 'Save As' periodically on the file,
    restart Captivate periodically to flush the undo stack and other
    items, reboot the machine, and also try defragging the hard drive.
    Your file(s) sound like they are typically very large in file
    size and slide number. You may find things work more smoothly if
    you break large projects like this into two or more linked files.

  • Photoshop touch unable to save projects or create foldersI

    i am unable to save projects or create folders in Photoshop Touch on my iPad Air 2. I have lots of space available and have closed all other apps. The PS Touch app is updated to most recent release.
    After working on a file and then selecting the back arrow at the top left to take me out of the project, it prompts me to save the project. When I select "save" it appears to save the project. Then it goes out to the main screen where no projects exist so basically I keep losing any project I work on.
    On the main screen, I'm also unable to create any folders. It seems that I'm creating a folder but then when I return to the main screen, nothing is there. I have tried to search the iPad storage to see if anything is being saved by PS Touch, but I see nothing.
    I have tried restarting everything as well as re-installing the app, but still I get nothing.
    Obviously this app is useless to me without being able to save anything so I realize I may have wasted my money. I'd appreciate any suggestions.
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for the suggestion, however, i have tried it before (and tried again after your suggestion just in case) and still no luck.
    It always appears to be saving the file and then when i get to the home screen (where i should see all the folders and projects) i see nothing still.

  • Unable to Link Captivate Projects, Desperate!

    Hello,
    I am using Captivate 4, Version 4.01, Build 1658.
    I am trying to link / launch one Captivate project from another. I have searched the Help and Forums for over two hours and from what I read this should be working hunky dorry in my release. Obviously I am missing something.
    I have two projects. Proj_Main and Proj_1. Proj_Main has a menu I need to use to launch other Projects.  At the end of the Projects I want ot return to this menu.  I have tried:
    1). Click box in Proj_Main with On Success, Open Other Project and pick CP file name.
    2)  Click box in Proj_Main with On Success, Open URL or File and pick HTM file name OR SWF file name.
    3) Menu button at end of Proj_1 with with On Success, Open Other Project and pick Proj_Main CP file.
    4) Menu button at end of Proj_1 with with On Success, Open URL or File and pick HTM file name OR SWF file name.
    With the Open URL choice, I have removed the absolute path and just left the file name.
    I verified that all the files (CP, SWF, HTM) are in the same folder I am working from.
    In all cases I am getting NO response when I click the click box or button.
    I must be missting something obvious. Please HELP!
    = Corbin 

    I WAS missing something. It was those dang security settings. I added all the folders to my allowed Flash security settings and now it works.
    Doh!

  • How do I embed fonts into Captivate projects?

    This question came up in May 2006 but was never really
    answered. I'd like to know how to embed fonts into my Captivate
    projects so that the output looks the same on all computers. While
    the text animations are fine, the Text Caption fields are the ones
    that seem to have fonts that go walkies on other computers. I know
    you can embed fonts in PDFs. Why not in Captivate (unless I'm
    missing something in 2.0).

    First, a tip for the forums: If you use the URL tags, your
    post won't require horizontal scrolling - sorry, but I use Firefox
    and entering a long URL totally blows my ability to smoothly read
    the post ... you can manually add a text link by using the "L" tag
    as shown below (I've put spaces in to avoid this being turned into
    another text link)
    [ L = Your Text]
    http://www.yourdomain.com [ /
    L ]
    Back to your issue, Charinos. I'm glad you did find the URL,
    but that thread and your problem are not even in the same world.
    That thread deals with fonts in text-entry boxes (boxes for
    end-user text-entry), and you are talking about text-captions, an
    entirely different object.
    In fact, if you make changes and save those changes to a
    text-caption, then publish the project, the fonts in your text
    captions will remain stable and are not dependent on the fonts
    installed on the end-viewer's machine. The reason is that when the
    SWF is compiled, the text captions are converted to images and so
    long as the file is viewed as intended in the HTML document - at
    the proper size - the stretching you describe cannot take place.
    I'm not saying you are seeing things, but if my understandings of
    the Captivate machine are correct, what you are saying is happening
    cannot
    be happening. Something else is going on, like a failure to
    save changes, use of non-conforming text-caption boxes with a
    resultant loss of margins, or something.
    Sorry I'm not more help. I can't duplicate what you are
    seeing but I hope someone else can help you out - I may still be
    misunderstanding your issue.

  • What is the largest "manageable" size for a captivate project? (I think I've passed it)

    Problem:
    It used to take perhaps 5 minutes for the Captivate software to open and the project to actually load. Now, Captivate loads (menu screen) but the project does not open - it just sits there. When I close the software it asks if I want to save changes to my project, as if it had opened.
    Background:
    The captivate project that is roughly 260MB. This is after having copied and pasted all the slides to a new project to reduce the file size (several times) -- because of unexplainable ballooning of the file size. I am using a computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo 2.35 GHZ processor with 4GB or RAM.
    Questions:
    What is the largest manageable file size for a project?
    Is there a limit to the number of slides a project can contain (i.e., 200)?
    What can I do to get my project to actually open?
    Thanks!
    Dan

    Hi there
    Normally we advise that a Captivate project should fall into somewhere between 50-65 slides as a general upper limit. Occasionally reaching as high as 100 to *MAYBE* 120 slides. Depending on a number of factors.

  • Unable to save .cptx file to Sharepoint

    Prior to upgrading from Captivate 4 to Captivate 5, I was able to save a Captivate file directly from Captivate into a Sharepoint library.  I am now running Captivate 5.0 on Windows 7 and receive the following error when try to Save or Save As from Captivate.
    I have tried troubleshooting by installing 5.0 on XP and received the same error when trying to Save or Save As.
    I have tried to Save the file when opening Captivate as "Run as Administrator" and not.
    I had only one project open when trying to Save/Save As.
    I asked teammates to log on to my machine and try to Save to Sharepoint wondering if it could be my login, but no one was able to Save or Save As from 5.0.
    I am, however, able to Publish directly into the Sharepoint library.
    Has anyone encountered this error before? Seen issues with Captivate 5 and Sharepoint?
    Thanks for any help!

    If you want to store your backup Captivate CPTX files in a Sharepoint drive or a LAN drive, that is your choice.  But I must repeat my warning above...Never open a CPTX file directly in Captivate over a LAN connection or from any other location than from your local hard drive otherwise you risk corrupting the project file and losing potentially weeks or months of work.
    So if your team wants to store the project files somewhere that everyone can get to them, that's fine.  Use a Check Out / Check In policy so that no more than one person is working on a given file at a time.  Mandate that when the person checks out the file, they MUST copy it to their local hard drive, BEFORE opening it with Captivate to work on it from there. When checking the file back in, mandate that the user must close the file in Captivate and use Windows Explorer or some other method to check it back into the common repository.
    By all means, for the purposes of demonstrating Sharepoint you can make it LOOK like you use the Team Site as your repository.  But unless you want to experience hugely frustrating performance and corruption issues with Captivate, as many others before you have, you would be wise to heed the advice above.

  • Unable To Save Templates - Receive A Restart Error

    Hi there,
    As of yesterday I am unable to save templates. At first I thought it may be an error with the project that I was working on, but I've opened up old projects and tried to resave those as a new template and I receive an error.
    If I create a new project and try to save it as a template, I also receive this error.
    Anybody know why this is happening? Thanks - Scott.

    Hi, Scott-
    It would be really useful if you could ZIP up the project so that we can take a look at it.
    Thanks,
    -Elaine

  • Setting up Version Management (Git, SVN) for Captivate Projects

    I'm guessing the answer is No, but I thought I would ask:
    Is there any way to set up some kind of Version Management/Source Code management for a Captivate project?
    Currently, I just have a bunch of nearly identical cptx files with some kind of naming convention so that I can tell which one is which. If I need to revert something, I have to hope that I made a "Save As" at the right point in time. If I need to work with a colleague, there is no straight-forward way to review the changes that she made.
    Adobe Captivate is basically a speciallized IDE with some additional graphical stuff. Having some kind of version control tool, especially if it were Git, would be very helpful both for my personal productivity as well as for managing collaboration with my colleagues.

    So far the only WOW version control i have found is AlienBrain but i have a better chance of being struck by lightning on a clear summer day than ever owning it.
    http://www.alienbrain.com/features
    A promising solution is Razuna http://razuna.org/whatisrazuna but I havent "project tested" it yet to see how well it will work while developing in a team enviroment. 
    Something i doubt i will ever find is a solution to "show the difference" in a file similar to how WinMerge http://winmerge.org/ shows the difference in files or compairison of folder directories.
    It would be nice to be able to compare two (or more) captivate files slide by slide with syncronised scrolling to note differences.
    Seems like most people are pretty quiet about what they use for version management.

    The F4 will display you the existing layouts only. So you need to save the layout first & then execute the report again & check if you are getting F4 values for that field.
    The Layout needs to get stored with variant.

    how can i stop an error message that comes up when i am using word? the error message is "word is unable to save the Autorecover file in the location specified. Make sure that you have specified a valid location for Autoreover files in Preferences,…"

    It sounds like if you open Preferences in Word there will be a place where you can specify where to store autorecover files. Right now it sounds like it's pointing to somewhere that doesn't exist.
