Playbar Controls missing replay feature

I have noticed that there is not an option (checkbox) in the skin editor, to replay a slide for the playbar controls. Is there a reason why this feature would not be included? I am thinking of the scenario where a viewer may get distracted, and wants to run the slide again, without having to go back to the previous slide and start over. I have looked at creating a button and using the Expression cpCmdGotoSlide = cpInfoCurrentSlide – 1, which works, however it sort of looks out of place alongside the existing playbar controls (which the customer wants)…

You may have a look at this blog, where I explain the difference between Replay and Reset a slide. It will be also one of the topics in the workshop I will present at AEW21. Creating a replay button is rather simple, but in many situations you will need a real Reset button to reach your goal.

I also posted a Captivate tutorial on the blog about the same topic.

Thank you Paul… I will certainly take a look with a view to creating my own playbar!

Anytime you need a navigation control that is not available in the standard playbars you will have to create it as a separate item. My suggestion is to build your own controls so you have a consistent look and feel. Attached is an example of a set of controls I made using free icons found at https://fonts.google.com/icons?selected=Material+Icons. It doesn’t have a replay slide icon but when you look at the icons in the link I pasted here I’m sure you can find something that looks good to your client.
