Batch publish mode?

I wish. WISH WISH, there was a batch publish ability in SL360. I work on 10+ projects at any one time and when they're finished it's normally a case of Friday afternoon, setting aside everything to simply publish.

Has there been any word on something of this ilk? I personally don't care if it's macro-clunky based, rather than polished. It will always get better :)

Many thanks

    Leslie,

    File>Batch Publish (or even better, a shortcut keystroke)

    Batch Publish dialog opens with "+" & "-" buttons to add storyline files 

    Dropdown arrow next to each entry for publishing to whichever SCORMING/ TINCAN versioning you wish

    Highlight each entry and adjust settings accordingly: i.e. Change of title, html5/Flash, mobile or desktop/laptop or both, and path to publish to. Check box for zip after publishing.

    Click "Alleluia there is a publishing god" and go for lunch/ home for the night/ weekend. Drag yourself back into the office and open Windows Exploder and then upload files to LMS

    I could work up a wireframe in Affinity Designer really quickly if anyone would be interested or like to chime in with their thoughts?

    Walt,

    I'm with you on that one :) trouble is my boss keeps looking over at me when I'm learning how to knit and it's obvious they think I'm doing nothing :)

  • Hi Lawrence! I'm not sure that I've seen a request for that.

    Is the assumption that all of them publish with the same settings? Where/when would you set that?

    I'd love for you to share what you envision and your use case with our team here.

  • It's clunky, it's slow, but it's better than what you have now. Highlight the .story files in file explorer. Right-click and choose open. They will each open in a separate instance of SL. Go through and publish each one. Take a well-deserved break while they all publish together.
