Question
Roundtripping layered Photoshop files
This is what happens when I try to round trip a layered Photoshop file:
- File > Import > Photohshop File.
- I import all of the layers in the Photoshop file. The layered file appears on the slide and in a folder in the Library that is labeled with the Photoshop file name, and each layer is listed as a separate object in that folder.
- I right-click on the Photoshop file in the library and choose "Edit PSD source file"
- The file opens in Photoshop, I make edits to it and save it in Photoshop, with exactly the same file name. No changes to the file name and no changes to the location of the file on my computer.
- In Captivate, a "?" appears next to the folder with the Photoshop file name, indicating a broken link. My original Photoshop file name has somehow gotten changed. For example, if the Photoshop file name is "layer test.psd", after round-tripping, the file name changes to "LAYERT~2.PSD" on my computer where the original "layer test.psd" file was located. In the Library, the original name "layer test.psd" is still displaying.
- If I try to update the link by clicking the ? in the Library, Captivate can't find the original Photoshop file. Of course it can't find the original file because somehow the file name was changed from "layer test.psd" to "LAYERT~2.PSD".
- If I update to the newly renamed file (which was not renamed by me, but apparently renamed by Captivate), I get a message: "The seleted PDF is not the same as the one you imported earlier. Click OK to import the selected PDF. To relink, click Cancel and then retry." Of course retry won't work because somehow the original PSD has disappeared.
Is this process broken in Captivate 9 or am I doing something wrong?
