Does anyone know of a way to convert multiple Captivate version 1 files to version 2 without having to open each one individually? We have a lot of files to convert and something like this would save a lot of time.

Perhaps a batch file or other scripting?

Thanks!!

    Late thought regards batching: There are 3rd party programs out there that might be able to capture keystrokes and create a Windows "keystroke script" for something like this. I don't think I'd do it because of all the ways it might fail or cause unforseen problems, but just - for whatever it's worth . . .

    There is no way to automate the task. In most cases, I recommend that you not convert "old" projects just because you have the "new" version. Both versions can be run ont he same machine so there is no reason to remove Captivate 1 when you install Captivate 2, and the default storage folders are different, so often there is no reason to rush into converting files from an earlier version.

    Having said that, I understand that in spite of all the explanations, it may still be desirable - or necessary - to convert all your V1 files to V2 format. And if that is really the case, get a nice comfortable chair and decide what you want to buy with all those overtime dollars you are about to earn.
