I am currently looking at a trial version of Captivate 6.0. I realize that the trial will be more buggy than the newer patched versions, but I was wondering if anyone had come across this problem before, and whether or not it is fixed with a patch.
I have many 5.5 projects in which I use the cpInfoCurrentSlide system variable in Advanced Actions. Today I tried to upgrade one. I opened up a copy of it in the trial, and previewed. The result was this:
It looks the same when I publish it.
I figured it was my Advanced Actions/variables and my widgets, so I deleted all of those from the original, then tried to upgrade that project. Same problem.
Then I happened to scroll through the system variables listed in the upgraded project, and noticed there are 2 versions of cpInfoCurrentSlide:
and
Note the different descriptions and default values.
Why is Captivate making 2 versions of this one variable, even after I've removed any reference to it in my original 5.5 project? I'm assuming one is a vestigial 5.5 variable and one is the 6.0 variable, but... that's fairly annoying if they don't automatically update/overwrite.
I've managed to get around things by copying my original slides into a new Captivate 5.5 project and then in turn upgrading that to 6.0. The project plays, but strangely it still has the duplicate variables. (Which indicates that the duplicate variables are not actually the source of my original problem... sigh.)
A new blank project only has the first version of cpInfoCurrentSlide.
