    Tried changing the folder path to a more accessible location, copying the widgets to a folder in My Documents, still no dice. Does *anyone* have a clue about this problem?

    I'm having the same issue, no widgets are showing on the widget panel. I've tried re-selecting the folder multiple times with the "change path" button, tried adding with the browse button, nothing works. I'm on Win 7 32bit running as admin, Captivate 5 version 5.0.1.624, the widgets are definitely there in the gallery folder but nothing seems to make them show up in the widget panel.

    Hello and welcome to the forum,

    Please, could you tell us which version of Captivate you are using: 4 or 5? You are talking about widgets, which widget? The widgets that come with Captivate are located in a folder that is in the Gallery-folder. You will find this Gallery folder in the installation folder of Captivate.

    If you are using Captivate 5, be sure to install the patch released at the end of 2010: Help, Updates menu.

    Thanks for trying to help me.

    I'm using version 5. I speak of the widget tab as you can see in the picture. There are no options and when I import something does not work.


    Maybe I need to install the patch release you talked about, where can I find it?

    Thanks again!

    Hello,

    You have to indicate the path where the Widgets are located: in      ...\Captivate 5\Gallery\Widgets

    Use the small folder icon (highlighted in yellow) in the Widget panel to show this path, see my screenshot. I'm planning to blog about the default Widgets coming with Captivate soonly. But I do blog in English, which is not my native language either!

    The patch can normally be installed using the Help menu, option Updates. If this doesn't work you can go to the downloads page of Adobe. In this blogpost you'll find details about the patch:
