Former versions did have this option also.

And indeed it is not part of capturing in Flare9.
That's a pity and could be added in the Options. I use it a lot.

Opening a topic incredibly slow

I am now working at my home with OS Windows 8
Every time I open a topic it takes roughly 5 - 6 seconds.
Very very irritating

Someone an idea?

Publish to remote server using SFTP > sharing my experience

I struggled a lot with getting connection with the remote connection.

What I did set in the target file:

Re: How to capture drop down menus in Capture?

Go to Tools and in the menu Options select the Tab Capture.
Now you can set the check box Enable Time Delay.
If you now capture the program waits this amount of seconds. Within that time you can open your drop-down list.

I do this for years now and no problem at all.

Hi Donna,

As far as I can see, you can copy another flprj file and then rename it.

Center align the buttons in the skin

Does anyone know how to get the buttons centered in the skin in a normal way?
I did put a Filler in front and at the end.

The only way to get it OK is to add more than 10 Fillers in front and the same amount on the end.

Re: Image saved to Flare Project not available

My suggestion:
Create a sample project from Madcap and look if you can insert the image.
If that works then look at the source code what are the differences.
