Updates and Software flaws

Hi Jospeh,

I have found some bugs in SL2, too... but Articulate has not yet solved them.

The bugs are well known and described in this community but the programmers do not offer an update.

It's annoying, because I can not update to Update 6 and 7 because these updates contain at least one bug (drag & drop interaction) which will make my courses corrupt.

Maybe an Articulate programmer will read this and a new Update will be released soon.

Hi all,

Same problem here. We're working every day with Storyline and we fear every update. The last one has messed up our Storyline files, we lost all variables from a very big project and we have lost quite some time in the development. I totally agree with Joseph and Jan regarding the software, it is very frustrating and annoying. All people using Storyline in our company think it's very good and very bad at the same time. The software has too many bugs and we totally agree with Joseph when he says he feels it is not tested or even used.

Hi Mathew,

there is a problem with "tiling" in drag&drop interactions... if you use newer updates than #5 the tiling won't work.

If you do not use the english version, there are huge problems with built-in triggers like "hover". Since Translation bugs have not occured the first time, this is still annoying because it looks like the programmers are only testing in "english"...

Apart from that:

I have got the "Feeling" that SL2 is destroying my slide order when I create courses which are not sequentional but consist of mutli-mays to get through. The "next slide" feature messes the whole Scenes up and is replacing slides with others from the same Scene when I reload the course the next day to continue working on it.

My solution is to not use the "next slide" feature but to link every slide to each other with "jump to slide xy" instead of "junp to next slide" even when the next slide is the next in order!

This leeds to this thread: (only in german language, sorry). It's about a missing featuere - an alternative to "previous slide": jumping to previous slide in course oder - not in click order. This is not a bug but a missing Feature ;-)

@Aurelien:

"All people using Storyline in our company think it's very good and very bad at the same time. The software has too many bugs and we totally agree with Joseph when he says he feels it is not tested or even used."

This is exact the Feeling I have at the Moment when using SL2.

Thank you for describing. :-)

This is how I use my work space and have for 15 years, when the timeline is un-docked I can't Ctrl+C or Ctrl+V and this is ridiculous because I could four the first 5 months after the release of Storyline 2. To have to right click twice seems like no biggie right??? But what if you have to do 1,000 time a day then would you find it as ridiculous as I do.

@ Matthew: this was the latest update. When we opened the project again, the slide size changed back to the default settings (all images and files were messed up, great...) and we lost all variables. Our team of developers were very angry and this is not the first time we've experienced big annoying bugs with Storyline / updates. One of them is currently testing the competition. Storyline doesn't feel like a professional solution in regards to what I've just said.

Hi All! 

I would simply encourage you, if you have not already, to work with/report issues to our support team.

This is how we track volume of users impacted.

Hi Leslie,

"report" ist nice but a result (like a new update) is better.

You already know, what do to next...

Sorry....

Jan
