Erweiterte Aktionen kopieren

Question

Ich habe einige Captivate-Programme, in denen die Folien sehr ähnlich sind. Ich könnte also eine Folie kopieren und nur die Dinge ändern, die sich unterscheiden.

Beim Kopieren vergibt Captivate ja neue Namen für die Objekte in der Folie. Es erfolgt aber keine Anpassung an diese neuen Namen in einer erweiterten Aktion in der Kopie. Also muss man die erweiterte Aktion kopieren und dann händisch an die neuen Namen anpassen. Das ist eine irre Arbeit, wenn die erweiterten Aktion recht umfangreich sind.

Gibt es irgendeine Möglichkeit, dass beim Kopieren auch die erweiterten Aktionen kopiert und automatisch an die neuen Namen der Objekte angepasst werden (in einer kopierten Aktion mit neuem Namen)?

Oder gibt es irgendeinen anderen Tip, um sich die Arbeit zu ersparen, alles in so einer erweiterten Aktion neu zu schreiben?

Sorry to answer in English, my German grammar is very rusty although I understand your question quite well.

The reason for the smart labeling when copying is that each object needs a unique name to be able to use it in advanced/shared/simple actions. I would like to see that advanced action because I would probably have some ideas for simplifying. Let us start with these tips based on my Capitvate 'intuition':

Since you have similar slides, use a common master slide where you could eventually transfer some commands besides objects. Master slide objects cannot be addressed by an action however.
Maybe it is possible to have some objects timed for the rest of the project, you can hide them when not needed. Advantage: those objects will always have the same name.
Depending on the advanced action - reason why I would like to explore it - opt to replace them by a shared action. Not only will it save you time, since you only have to enter parameters for each instance, it has other pros. Have a look at my blog post:

Another reason for having a look at the action: use grouping whenever possible.
Eventually using multistate objects instead of Show/Hide object groups will spare time as well if you really need duplicate advanced actions. States can have the same name for multiple objects.

When taking a screenshot of the Advanced action(s), please use the Preview window instead of a bunch or partial screenshots. You can open that window using this button:
