Is there a way to determine who originally created a file?

I am working with some old storyline files, and I am trying to determine who created them so that I can reach out with questions. 

Is there a way to see the original creator?

 

Thank you!

 

  • 1. Make a backup copy of the .story file

    2. Change the .story part of the name to .zip

    3. Within the zip, find a folder called story

    4. within the story folder find a file named story.xml

    In it, I found this line with my name, so I'm assuming that is the creator: <prop id="18">Walt Hamilton</prop>

    5. Change the .zip part of name to .story

     

    If you have the published version, look for a file named meta.xml, which very clearly shows the author's name.  If you load it and publish it, that may turn out to actually be the publisher, not the author.

  • IN the storyline file go to publish dialogue, choose LMS, and press the ellipses
