Captivate 8 slow?

Same, running Cp8 and AME CS6 and I'm finding file dialogs are very very slow compared to other apps.

Any other app and there is no issue at all when doing File > Open.

When doing Media > Image it takes 15-25 secs for file dialog to even open and then the same amount of time to navigate to each folder.

AME seems worse. Any file dialog window takes 45 secs - 60 secs to open and then same amount of time to navigate to each folder beneath.

JUst painful.

Absolutely, I'm having the same trouble with Cp8 running extremely slow. Have you found any solutions? At first I thought there was possibly an issue with my PC laptop, so while Captivate was chugging away, changing an object's font in the style manager, I actually did a new install of Cp8 on my iMac. I ended up having to do a hard shutdown on the laptop because Cp8 wasn't responding at all after about 45 minutes. I opened another version of the project on the iMac, and the performance issues were exactly the same. Not only that, but on the Mac, all my quiz question answers and feedback captions were GONE. Of course this all started happening to me literally at the eleventh hour, and by midnight I threw in the towel with no solution.

Could this be a caching issue? I've heard with earlier versions of Cp, clearing the cache can be detrimental to your projects so I'm a little fearful of trying that...

Oh, and I also run everything locally and not from a server.

Are you working on files that are stored on a network LAN, or stored on your local hard drive?
