CP5: Copy and paste of images doesn't work

Hi,

this may sound silly, but I'm not able to copy and paste an image from Photoshop into CP5 (german version).

In older versions of Captivate I often copied an imgage in PS and pasted it simply via CTRL+V into the Captivate-Slide.

With Captivate 5 this doesn't seem to work any more, it simply ignores the "Paste"-command. Copy and Paste only works for images, that are copied within Captivate.

It's not an Windows-Problem, Copy and Paste between Photoshop and all other applications works fine.

Does anyone have an idea what's wrong?

best regards

Holger

Hello,

Please do import the Photoshop file, that is a much better way because you can choose which layers you want to keep and you do get all the layers as separate PNG-images in the library. It will also be possible to edit the PS-file from within CP. You can import directly to the stage but I do prefer to import all of the PS-file to the library.

Hi,

I'm having a similar issue, except Captivate is not copying and pasting correctly from one Captivate 5 project to another Captivate 5 project. I can do it once and it keeps the first object that I copy and won't paste anything else. I even tried resetting the clipboard outside of Captivate by copying from notepad and it still only pasted the first thing that I copied. Do you have a possible solution for that?

Hello,

Again, why don't you import the images to the library? It is a much better practice IMHO. Open an external library via File, Import, external library and you'll have all the images to use in the new project,
