Fault with Slide Sorter View after editing slide

Oct 21, 2013

Just fired up Presenter 13 for the first time and went to edit one of my slides. When I closed the edit process the slide sorter thumbnail view was replaced with a pink flower with "Your Caption Here". 

I am unable to open this slide for further editing. The content is still there when I run Preview. 

I cant work out what has happened or how to get the slide editable again.

Hi Shan,

Thanks for sharing the screen capture below. It looks to be an inserted Engage interaction, so one of the first things you'd want to check is that all your project files are saved locally to prevent an unusual behavior.  Additionally, I'd suggest that you begin by conducting a repair of your Studio 13 software  and if the repair doesn't solve the odd behavior, are you able to package your Presenter files and share with us here (or privately here)?

Hi Ashley

I think I found the problem. I did not uninstall Studio 09 before installing Studio 13.
When I went back and did this the converted thumbnails were editable and contained meaningful information about the slide.
I am sorry about all the work I generated for you.
Let me say that I am impressed with the fast and determined support your company has shown. This is really encouraging and has given me confidence in the Articulate team!

I am having this same issue.  I have done multiple installs, reinstalls on different machines using Windows XP, 7, and 8.  I submitted a ticket some months ago (Case #00380251) with no resolution.  I was told that the condition has been replicated, but not addressed.  Unfortunately, the product really cannot be used until this is resolved.  Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
