Where are skins stored in Captivate 6?

Hi, all

This is hopefully a simple question, but I can't find an asnwer anywhere in Help or the forums.

I am supporting two other authors new to Captivate. I want to update the custom skin they are using. I have saved the skin on my machine, but how can I provide it to them?  I've searched all the installed folders under Captive 6 and don't see see anything except "FLV skins" which does not contain my (SWF?) skin.  When I do a Save As from the Skin editor, the UI unhelpfully does NOT give me a file path option so I can know where the heck the thing is stored.

Can anyone help, Please?

Hi Corbin,

Captivate creates an initialization configuration file for your custom skin, which you can find it here --

C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Local\Adobe\Captivate 6.0\Themes\SkinName.ini

Copy this file to the same location on your's users machine from your machine and relaunch Captivate, see if it lists the file in the list.

Thanks,
