Captivate 3 - everyone figured out how to reduce to a CP project file size?

Greetings,

I think that this question has been asked before, but I was unable to find a solution to the problem and I was wondering if someone else (a solution).

Some people called this phenomena "file bloat".

I'm using Captivate 3. In the process of adding and deleting slides the .cp file gets quite large. I tried to do the thing of "save under...". ». I also tried the unused resources removal (graphics, backgrounds, etc) and save the file again. Nothing seems to work.

I tried to import a project into an empty project (the application seems to work, but nothing happens). I tried export in XML format and the file will not import (corrupted).

If someone managed to find an answer on how to remove unused slides/resources of a Captivate project "inflated". Apart from rebuild the project file from scratch is there a solution?

Thank you

TPK

Hello

The only way I've ever seen a reduction in file size Captivate 3 was by performing the following steps:

  1. Open a second instance of Captivate.
  2. Create a new empty project of same size as the other instance.
  3. Switching between instances, copy slides of the bloated and paste into the fresh.
  4. Save a new and the file size is reduced.
  5. Throw away the old one.

Note that you will probably need to restore links that you had.

Just a note special here on one of the things that you have tried. You said that you exported in XML format. I don't think that you can export as XML and then import XML into a new project. I think that the XML export works very similarly to the export of Microsoft Word. Only the exported project he will be able to properly re - import. If I understand correctly, the XML export is designed to Captivate developers who need to locate (translate) their projects.

See you soon... Rick
