Question

Properties Panel closes when I try to Find in Library

I have a stream of audio on a slide that I want to identify within the Library. When I click on it to "Find in Library", instead it collapses that entire Properties Panel. Any ideas?

It's not a big deal for me to expand the panel and it will have the audio file identified. More of a pain in the backside than anything else. Just curious if there was a fix. As I have a bunch of courses that I have to do this for.

Using Cp9  [9.0.0.223]

Many thanks.

Thanks for the reply Lieve.

Unfortunately, I'm a slave to the company's license and their schedule for updates. Hopefully we'll get that patch update here soon. <sigh>

Happy Holidays!

Please upgrade to 9.0.2.437. You missed several patches.  I knew that issue was there in an early CP8 release, don't remember it i CP9.

Hello,

I have been noticing this issue as well with Captivate 9.0.2.437 installed. It appears that the Library panel open/close is a toggle. When I make that menu selection on one of the timeline objects, if I have Properties panel open it switches over to Library panel fine.

However, if I currently have the Library panel open then it is closed and I have neither Props or Library open. Then I click Library in the toolbar and that opens with the just identified timeline object selected.

So, as far as I can tell, this nuisance bug is still present in the latest patch release for Captivate 9.

Hi 'tbcfinch'

I didn't have that experience in Captivate 9 anymore, which makes me wonder if you followed the release notes when installing a patch? Did you clear the Preferences (utils folder)  and Layouts folder in Public documents?

Another reason could be that I never use the Newbie UI (hate to be controlled by software, I'm a control freak) but always the so-called Expert UI, where I have custom workspaces and draggable, floatable panels. It has its disadvantages (where is that more user friendly  UI of Captivate 7 gone?).
