    When is captivate going to catch up with the rest of adobe products?

    most allow direction connection between programs. Photoshop to after effects etc.

    Captivate seems to be now almost redunant apart from its connection to LMS systems

      Captivate has roundtripping with Photoshop and Audition since eons.  It uses Phonegap, has a less elaborated roundtripping with Illustrator and used to have close collaboration with Flash Builder, which could be improved with Animate. It used to be able to have output to an interactive pdf which has been stopped because Acrobat doesn't have that feature anymore. Just a non exhausting list out of my memory...

      For an Adobe application which is not part of the Creative Cloud, I think this is exceptional already, when you compare with other non CC Adobe apps. Maybe you missed all those collaborations?

        No not at all.

         

        I am a user of creastive cloud |The way I can move from Photoshop to after effects is so simple. This is missing in Captivate.

        Captivate is now looking old out of date compared to the creative cloud apps you only have to look at today....Update 5 to 2019

        Creative cloud versions are now being release d with 2021.

        Captivate still has old dangerous code in it.

        Its still has reference to Flash

        It looks like a product adobe Plan to dump if they can find a buyer

          The bug where the Tooltip for the Assets panel is stuck when you are in the Expert UI is back.... Very annoying, since it is almost impossible to click the panels in the right docking station.

          Bug was there in the first version of 11.5. Reason: the close button (X) on the tooltip is outside of the application window because the Assets button has been pushed to the right since neither Properties nor Library buttons are present in the Expert UI. See screenshot: I cannot get rid of the tooltip:

          Question: for the Themes, what is the difference between Apply and Download? 

          Thanks for having the Blank theme appear here, instead of having to find it in the installation folder.

            Thank you Lieve for the reply. Here's the difference:

            • Apply: When you click Apply, the chosen theme gets applied on your project. If your project already had a theme applied, the new theme will overwrite the old theme. The new theme also gets copied in C:\Users\Public\Documents\Adobe\eLearning Assets\Layouts\11_5\en_US.
            • Download: When you click Download, the theme gets downloaded to C:\Users\Public\Documents\Adobe\eLearning Assets\Layouts\11_5\en_US. You can then use the theme later.

            Understood, but all those themes were already in that Public folder. I had moved the Blank theme before, because it is the best way to start a new theme. I couldn't test the difference between Apply and Download  just for the reason that I already had all themes. Apply will download a (new) theme as well, and do you mean that it will not end up in the Public folder for Layouts?

            Are there plans to add more themes? Some of the QSPs (not all) have nice themes as well.
