  2. More support for 'Hide during publish'

    I wanted to have an object NOT show when the slide was first displayed. You can 'Hide during publish' some items like buttons, but not others like Media blocks. As others have noted, if you use a Slide Enter trigger to hide an object, it is still shown before it is hidden, making that slide enter triggers unusable

  3. Add GIF as a supported filetype for Image Background on the slide

    If you use a media block, GIF files are listed in the filetypes dropdown. However, if you use 'Image background' for the slide, GIF files are not listed in the filetypes dropdown. If you manually enter the path to a GIF, they import as expected.

  4. Feature request: quiz component missing

    Right now, including a working quiz is only possible by using a Quiz Slide. For one-page scrollable courses this somehow works by building it with components (paragraph, option box, button, reporting + including in quiz/points), but takes time and is limited.

    More options are missing to share points and set correct answers easily.

    It would be great to insert a “full quiz” interactive component, same as by inserting full quiz slides.

  6. Delete unused items

    Deleting unused items keep the source files smaller and makes it efficient for the Captivate app to handle large projects. Please, bring back this useful feature from CP2019.
    In the attached image, you will notice the significant difference between the file with unused items and without those items.

  7. Enable Feedback for Adobe Captivate Classic

    Under "Give Feedback" is apart from Adobe Captivate also Adobe Captivate Classic listed. With 0 (zero) feedbacks. There I've tried to enter a new idea but it's not working. Why is that? CpC is scheduled to be active until 2027. Time enough for improvements. Please also add "Provide Feedback..." to the Help menu of CpC.

  8. Timeline missing feature - on entrance of component into timeline, pause timeline

    It would be very useful a feature to have a feature, whereby the timeline could be paused upon a component entering the timeline.

  9. bug - save does not always save

    This has happened to me multiple times: in the new captivate v12.2 (and prior versions of 12), when I click "save," it appears as though everything has saved correctly. When I later open the file, I have lost all of the work. This has happened on both mac and windows machines. I asked in the forum and other users are reporting the same problem. HOURS lost multiple times.

  11. Bug - Title text being cut off

    Text is being cut off in the title. The text looks normal on the stage, and I have plenty of padding above and below the text, but hanging parts of text like the tails of a y or g are getting cut off inexplicably and I cannot fix it.

  12. Bug: Quiz questions skipped in Preview (captivate 12)

    I have a quiz with 7 questions, and when I preview the project, I go from the quiz intro slide straight to the quiz results slide. The quiz results shows that 0 questions where answered. My settings have that all questions must be answered.

    I have rebuilt my quiz question slides multiple times and no matter what I do clicking the Next button on the Intro slide skips over all of the questions. I've checked the button interaction and it's set to Go to next slide....Please fix!!

  13. Ability to hover as a way to proceed on a slide

    Ability to hover over an area on screen to proceed on a slide like you could before Flash went away for Adobe Captivate. This would only be for courses viewed on a desktop. Many simulations have hover actions.

  15. Math symbols

    It would be nice to be able to write math characters and other special symbols inline with regular text with something similar to LaTeX typesetting or using Mathjax? Maybe I'm missing something, but it does not seem to be able to do so, even pasting text from Word.

  17. Have more standard timeline interface

    Make timeline behave like timeline in Premiere and every other professional application with a timeline. Current timeline is more inline with amature consumer applications like ClipChamp. Only easier to use for people unexperienced users. For professionals it is hard to understand, time consuming, mouse heavy, and extremely non-intuititve.

  18. Provide a simple export of program variables to an internal server

    I don't see any utility to capture user data, perhaps I am missing something. The system that classic Captivate uses is confusing. I just want to be able to import a file of user variables from my server where the program lives that I can accomplish using FileZilla for example.

  20. Fix theme color selection - Bug Report

    Issues with the color options in the Theme Editor - it doesn't actually show the color I select and when I click Apply, it shuts down completely.
    I recorded a video to show what is happening.
    This is the new Captivate - and just updated this morning.
