Question

CP5: Project Title will not change/save

I converted several projects from Captivate 3. And today I created a new CP5 project based on a converted CP3 template.

One of the issues I've noticed is that I can't save any changes to the Project Title in the Publish window. For example, the new project I created based on the template has "[company]_template" in the Project Title. I change it to what I want, publish, and save the project. But nothing I do will save that new project title. I have to change it from "[company]_template" to what I want each time I publish. If I forget to change the Project Title, it overwrites the published files in the template's publishing folder!

Some converted projects had a title with "2" at the end (or similar). Again, I have to remember to change that before I publish.

I've looked everywhere in the CP5 menus for where this information is stored and I can't find it. Is this a bug, or am I just missing a setting somewhere?

HI Rhonda,

Did you upgrade these files directly from Cp3 to Cp5 or go via Cp4 first?

I also observed and reported this issue during the Cp5 Pre-release Program when upgrading Cp4 files to Cp5, but thought it got fixed.

Hi Rod (fancy meeting you here ;-))

CP3 straight to CP5 -- the pricing issue for Australians is too great for me to justify upgrading every time. If I was doing CP stuff all the time, that might be different, but I only do the occasional CP 'movie'.

I've had very few issues with my upgraded projects (probably because I don't use ActionScript), but this Project Title issue is a real nuisance.

OK.  Understood.  I was just thinking that it might be worth the experiment of  trying one of your projects getting upgraded from Cp3 to Cp4 and then Cp5 to see if the issue remained.

Happy to help out if you want to contact me offline.  I have Cp3, 4 and 5.
