  1. email hyperlink

    When I enter an email to hyperlink, it adds https:// to it and when the auto-filled email pops up when clicked, it won't send due to it being the wrong address. Not sure if this is user error on my part but I have tried everything to get this to work as well as the webpage links.

  2. layout change request - mobile view

    On mobile the widget slider layout does not look user friendly. Navigational buttons should not appear left/right. Because there is no margin/padding Setting, there is no room left for customizing.

  3. Captivate closing shortcut key change

    why does ctrl + w close the project without saving in Captivate?? this is very useless and frustrating, especially when w is next to s on the keyboard, so I accidentally press w sometimes and lose progress!

    Lauching the packager from File, New Project is not functional.
    However when finding the packager using All apps (Win11) and starting it with the shortcut key will show the Template choice.

  10. Slide Enter triggers will not let you navigate to next slide (or previous slide)

    I wanted to set a timer on a slide, so that it navigates to the next slide after a period of time. However, the Go to Next Slide (and Go to slide) are disabled for the Slide Enter triggers

  13. Bookmark without interaction

    To create a Replay action (one of my most visited blog posts) in this version you need to rely on a Bookmark at the start of the slide timeline. However that bookmark will just be used as target for a Jump to interaction. At this moment it is impossible to have a bookmark without assigning an interaction to it. And the dropdown list has no option 'No action' as was available in previous versions.
    BTW when you insert a bookmark at the start of a slide with SVGs, those SVGs will temporarily disappear. You need to refresh to see them…

  14. Bug - duplicating a slide with shortcut CTRL+D

    I get an error while duplicationg a slide with several widgets and media objects (just pictures + text and just one short own made quiz, no videos) by pressing CTRL+D on keyboard (Windows OS, Charm Version EN 12.1.0.16).

    Duplicating using mouse right click works.

  15. Bug: uploading non-zipped output results in blank screen

    To provide a link (or to embed) such output, I always upload (Fzilla) to my domain. Here is an example:
    https://www.lilybiri.com/published/BookmarkStates/index.html
    This URL however will not open anything, there was no error reported, just get a blank screen (Edge/Chrome).
    Another user reported the same problem in the Adobe forum.
    Weird: when uploaded to the eLearning community where AWS required a zipped output, it works fine although loading time is too long for a 14Mb file.

  16. Bug - Training and Assessment Simulations - Typing Text

    I've created a software simulation in Captivate 12 for Microsoft Word in which the learner starts by typing the text
    =lorem(4,8)
    When I run the training or assessment and type in the text above, it fails. I checked the Input Text field in Captivate and saw that it had ignored the fact that I had held down the Shift key to create the parentheses and so it was waiting for me to type: =lorem98,40
    This needs to be fixed!

  17. BUG Can't input Japanese

    When I try to enter Japanese into a slide, the characters I type are entered twice, and I can only enter the alphabet except for vowels.
    You can enter Japanese by copying and pasting the Japanese entered in another text editor.

  18. Translations from one language to another

    A great feature in keeping with the Sneak Peeks we were shown at ALS would be translating on-screen text from one language to another. In Canada, we are required by law to make learning available in both French and English. Automating as many of these processes would be beneficial. A one button solution for an entire project would be great.

  19. Bug: Closed Captions Variable doesn't work

    If you hide the closed captions by setting the variable $$Project.ClosedCaptions$$ to false, the closed captions can no longer be displayed even if you set the variable to true again. This means you cannot use your own button to hide and show the Closed Captions.

  20. Impossible to have a blank list on Default state

    To have a list entering line by line, I often start with a blank default state of the list, than add custom states where a next bullet is added etc.
    The easiest way is to fill the default state with the full list, than duplicate as many times as needed, delete lines on each state. At the end I want to clear everything on the default state but that is impossible.
    Will provide you directly with a project with that issue.
