New Resource Path not Updating

We edited images in photoshop and saved them to a new folder.  Then opened Captivate (2017) selected the new resource path (can see in Cap) but the images can only be manually updated.  In the past we could update the images using the new resource path all at once.   Suggestions?

    Hi, was this issue ever resolved? I have the same issue. The Update Resource Paths button is greyed out. So I couldn't even test it.

    I totally agree. latest v11.5.0.476

    I've just completed my first project in Captivate. So many cumbersome things to improve, however, I cracked on and got a pretty decent result from it.

    I'm trying to tidy the project up before I store it. Inevitably I will need to revisit and update screenshots etc as the software updates.

    Unfortunately I saved it to a folder within My documents. If someone else wants to update the project assets then they do not have access to this folder.

    I wanted to update the resource path to either the server location the images will live in OR to say c:\eLearning\project name so the user can copy to their local PC and the library exists at the correct location.

    Updating resource does not work. Either it is so illogical to fathom out or it does not update the resource.

    Adobe - please review this and get it working prompto

    Cheers

    You need to work on a CP-file locally. A good workflow is to have the projects residing in a shared location, download it only when you need to work on it. After saving copy it back to the shared location.

    Do you know about the possibility of opening external libraries? I will post a link to a post in another comment.

    Hi Lilybiri,

    Yes, I was aware, I actually learnt about it from your blog. Your post on micro movements to a frame and shared actions was a revalation.

    OK I accept I have to work locally. In the future I will use c:\elearning as the path . But for this project which will need to be updated once a year to reflect software image changes I would like to update the resource path to c:\elearning instead of my documents.

    I think there is a bug such that the update resource path does not work.

    I certainly do not want to delete and replace the assets one by one.

    Cheers

    Paul
