Is there a way to auto populate image files into a template based on file name or location?
I'm using captivate to build 360 tours of several small apartments, and for the most part I'll be making a ton of modules that follow the exact same 3-room format. There will be three 360 images for the rooms with hotpots that occur at more or less the same places for the same features. My plan so far has been to create a master template with my hotspots pre-loaded so that I essentially upload 360 background images and then quickly place and assign pictures to each hotspot (sink closeup, shower closeup, etc.). To make things easier, I was wondering if there were a way to create a master template that would automatically import images based on some property assigned to a file, like the file name.
An applied dream-example might look like this: I import the background images, but I can add a folder to the library with files named "sink.jpg" and "shower.jpg" and the hotspots automatically retrieve the files and import them to the correct spot.
Another possibility: I was talking to my dad the other day, who is a longtime newspaper IT guy, and he said they accomplished this since the early 90s with Quark Express using a linked folder, which would populate an object in a page with whatever was in the correct subfolder. Like if you put a picture in a folder titled "front page," the picutre would autopopulate a blank space on the front page.
Is there a way to achieve this with Captivate? Thanks for your help.
