  1. Click and holding playhead

    Part of my workflow in Cp11 was clicking and holding on the playhead to preview slide audio from that point on the timeline. I would love if this feature returned. It was very useful when working on the timing of objects on the timeline.

  3. Deleting second step Submit Process

    The only way to get rid of the feedback messages, a question I often get all over social media, is a clumsy workaround (will post a blog post and add the link here). To achieve this for a complete quiz, you can take out the Default labels, and set the system colors for Success and 'Error' (why do you use that term is a mystery) in the Theme to 0%. But... contrary to previous versions where taking out the feedback messages resulted in getting rid of the second step of the Submit process (click on slide or Y) tthat is…

  5. 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.

  6. Make tabs widget buttons look like tabs

    Currently there's no way to make the buttons at the top of the Tabs widget actually look like tabs. They can be either square or rounded, but not the rounded-top, square-bottom shape characteristic when people think of tabs. I've had client feedback not to use this widget type at all because their users don't recognise the buttons as clickable, since the first tab of text is already visible -- they just scroll past the rest. In other places in Captivate, there's the option to set component corner roundedness individually. Could we please implement it here?

  7. Button States not updating - Even on publish

    As the title says - Button states wont update even on publish. The file reflects the changes to the button state, but the publish is showing old text and wont reflect the actual change that's in the file

  8. {BUG} Cannot change font to bold, italic, underline, or Strikethrough

    As the video shows -

    Cannot change the font to Bold, italic or anything else.

    This issue still persists after closing Captivate and coming back the next day to work on a file.

    Cause - I believe using the hotkey CTRL + B breaks it.

  9. Slider Interaction

    Create an interaction where users can use a slider to show information. The slider would be something like what is in the image and can move back and forth a certain number of points. Information would display below it based on where you move it to.

  10. adaptive simulation

    either make the simulation adaptive to mobile like the rest of the projects or remove the requirement for all projects to be responsive. Simulation doesn't on mobile screen and scrolling over is not helpful.

  11. Feedback captions disappear when duplicating a quiz slide

    When the captions are shown on the original slide, they are hidden on the duplicate slide which is simple annoying if you are busy with editing the feedback messages. It is not that intuitive due to the UI to find that Show button again. Duplication should result in an identical duplicate.

  13. Zooming in should keep focus on selected item

    This is an old pain inherited from previous versions. Default view percentage is 'Best Fit' which is great. But when increasing the percentage to focus on a detail (like a button) I tend to select that item first, and expect by zooming in that the selected item is kept in focus. That used to be the case until version 8 or 9, but was also lost in CP2019. It is very frustrating.

  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.

  16. 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.

  17. Apply theme to all course elements

    Some widgets/elements have icons or states that do not use the custom theme. They seem to use the colors from the default Light theme but should be using the custom theme applied to the project. See attachments showing the default blue instead of my custom theme.

  18. Bug: Linked PDF will be implemented after first publishing

    there is a bug using the action "open URL or File". If I select a PDF from my system and publish the course, everthing is fine and Captivate places the PDF in the output correctly. However when I publish the course again, the file is not included in the dirctory even if no changes have been made to the file.

    So if you want to use the "open URL or File" action, you have to select the file again before each publication.

  19. Confusion with Design Options on Slide vs Blocks

    The design options are confusing, especially since I think there is a lot of mismatch between what appears in the Design Option properties panel for the Slide vs the Block.

    1. Add a new Conversation Slide
    2. Look at the Design Options for that slide. There are four. The first (upper-left) has a green background. The second (upper-right) has the speech cards appear at the very bottom of the images.
    3. Click on the Block itself
    4. Look at the Design Options for the block. There are also four. I suspect the are supposed to completely correspond with the design options for the slide.…
