Adobe Captivate Draft for Windows

[jamesi50423900]

Are there any plans for introducing Adobe Captivate Draft for Windows? This seems like a really useful app for the iPad but there is no sign that this will be introduced for the PC. Having recently purchased Adobe Captivate 9 for PC, I am hoping that this functionality will be available soon.

Draft is an app, it is too limited IMO to get it to PC.
What I would really love to see is support for Touch screens, like the workspace Touch which is available for Illustrator.

Thanks for the comments Lilybiri.

In what way do you think Captivate Draft is limited? I've never used it, but, from the demo, it appears to allow updates to the draft via touchscreen. I've never used Touch for Illustrator so maybe that has more touchscreen functionality?

If it is integrated in Captivate, you can combine immediately what you created with your fingers/stylus (I am a fan of Surface Pro with its great MS stylus) with the more adequate panels like Position properties (very important for responsive projects), use immediately the (custom) theme that you need for the project. Just to mention some of the advantages. No need to first having to transfer to the full application, possibility to return to the touch workspace after having worked with other panels. At this moment you have a one-way only: once you transferred Draft project to CP, and adapted it, you cannot send it back to Draft. Just some ideas. I logged a feature request for that Touch functionality already quite a while ago.

Okay, just to get back to my original question, does anyone know if there any plans for introducing Adobe Captivate Draft for Windows?

Lilybiri, I see that you contributed to an earlier discussion about this - Re: Does Captivate's Device Demo feature work with Windows 7 (or up)? That was about a year and a half ago and no attempt appears to have been made to give PC users the same fiunctionality as Mac users.

It is only meant to capture iPad, not for any other device. Android users have been discriminated by Adobe for most mobile apps. Only recently beta testing (public) started for Android versions. There will be a reason without any doubt, I'm just a user like you. Logging feature requests is the only way for users to influence future features, development, but it is Adobe deciding.

I would certainly appreciate to have the mobile app Draft available for Android devices, but for Windows I would appreciate to have touch functionality in the normal Captivate application, no need for a mobile app. It is very small minority using Windows phones.
