Just recorded the following for the Adobe Captivate Bug Reporting system:

******BUG******

Concise problem statement:

Steps to reproduce bug:

1.Set a PNG as start screen instead of Autoplay

2.Save project

3.Check Library for Unused Assets

4. Remove unused assets

Results:

1. Start screen is removed because it is flagged as an unused asset.

2. Movie then starts with slide one.

Expected results:

1. Library Cleanup would not see start screen image as "unused."

2. Library Cleanup should not remove the start screen that is used in place of autoplay.

    WORK AROUND:

         Because the startup screen appears instead of AutoPlay, each time you preview the movie/project you will see the startup screen and will have to click the play button (a triangular shaped arrow). This happens even if you are only previewing the next five slides. Therefore, the workaround is this: don't put on the startup screen until you are at the final publishing stage; use AutoPlay until you are ready to release the project.

    Adobe is considering fixing the bug for the next release (date and content unknown).

    NOTE: Before final publishing, purge the library of unused assets, THEN set up a start screen (and turn off AutoPlay), then publish, then luxuriate in accolades.
