Hi Jim

Very kind of you to share! Have you also posted these on the Captivate Exchange? If not, that's a good place as well.

Cheers... Rick

Hi Rick,

I've got a few questions about the Exchange. Usually in software development, you'll go through a few iterations and versions before a good stable product becomes mature. Does the Captivate Exchange give you control over the file that's posted? So if a users finds a bug or has a really good suggestion that warrants a change, I could make the adjustments to the widget and repost the file? Also, is there some kind of QA review that one has to go through so folks don't post junk... meaning does the Captivate Development Team review these submissions and approve them? Just curious how all that works.

Thanks,

Jim Leichliter

Hi Jim

I think it's one of those sorts of affairs where you just upload and they make it available. Not sure how things are handled from a QA perspective. Although I do believe a cursory review is performed to ensure what was sent isn't just junk.

I initially discovered it after Silke Fleischer pointed it out to me. I've also heard reports that the folks that manage it may be a bit slow to respond. But it's a great idea in theory as it provides "one stop shopping" for all sorts of stuff. Right from the start page of Captivate 4!

Cheers... Rick
