How to change preferences for duration of smartshapes? (Voreinstellung Anzeige)

Guten Abend, but I will continue in English.

I always change that duration for Shapes immediately after installing Captivate, as global Preference. Global means before opening any project. Here is a screenshot (since I don't know the terminology used in German).

Know that this will only be applied to newly inserted shapes. That is the reason why I am setting it up when in the Welcome screen, before starting any project.

If you want to change the duration for existing shapes in a project, do it for one shape and use the hanburger menu to apply it to the rest of the shapes in the project.

I read that it is not working for you even for a new shape, which is weird. Which exact version of Captivate do you use? Full number can be found under Help, About Captivate. Are you on Mac or Windows? When you reopen the Preferences do you see confirmation of the timing of the shapes? Can you try to export the preferences, import them in a new project and test the timing of a newly inserted shape? That is not necessary if you did it in the Global Preferences of course.
