System: iMac, 27-inch, mid 2010
Processor: 3.2 GHz Intel i3
OS: OS X 10.9 (Mavericks)
Captivate Version: 7.0.1.237
I have several Captivates authored entirely in Captivate 7 on this same machine that will silenty crash after opening the document. The document will remain open for anywhere between 1 - 5 seconds and then Captivate will simply close. No fanfare. No notification. Just gone.
Observations:
- Launch Captivate alone with no document - this appears to be stable.
- Launch document directly by double-clicking on document - May crash
- Launch Captivate first then double-click on document in finder - May crash
- Launch Captivate then open document from within Captivate "Open" menu - May crash
- Any combination of above with large number of open applications (i.e. Flash, Photoshop, Chrome, iTunes etc...) - May crash
- Any combination of above with no open applications (i.e. Flash, Photoshop, Chrome, iTunes etc...) - May crash
- Launch Captivate file on PC - this appears to be stable. No issues launching same files on a PC.
Oddly enough, this issue seems to resolve itself at random. After making several attempts to open the same document, it will finally remain so. It can be fully edited, saved and published after that. However, the next document (even if it is the same one) may start crashing again.
Has anyone else encountered this problem or know of a fix?
