Copying States from one picture to another
Hi Sandeep, it may work fine if there are no other formatting options that are transferred. But if one image needs a drop shadow and the other doesn't, you're just swapping which formatting you have to change/remove.
It also means that the programmers thought about creating a "copy/paste states" command but decided not to make it an individual command. It's too bad really. Let's say it takes Articulate 1000 hours to create this feature (there's no way it would take 1000 hours, but I'll be liberal with the estimate). There are over 120,000 organizations using Storyline, so let's be conservative and say there's 250,000 users. If every user saved exactly one hour a year using this feature, that 250,000 yearly hours of work saved by a one-time 1000 hours of investment (and yes, I realize there's programming implications for each update, but that investment is miniscule in relation to the numbers discussed above.
I recently needed to find and replace instances of a font in a 300 slide training program. In SL360, I can only blindly change all fonts in a document. Think about what could happen to formatting if I did that. Now, it's obvious that Articulate has already programmed a way to find instances of a font, they just don't provide a way for the end user to do it. Kinda sad that this company thinks so little of the end user. Now imagine if Articulate actually looked at feature requests and implemented them. What a great company they would be!
Thank you for saying this
