I have a rather large project that I'm working on in Captivate 8. The project is made up of forty independent modules.
Each module has about 20-30 slides, and each slide has an image (already captured through Snagit and saved to a desktop file).
Basically, this is assembly-line work. Each Captivate slide requires one of the images from its respective desktop file. When I select an image (Captivate: Media > Image) from a file and populate the the Captivate slide, the image is populated at the size it was captured as.
All of the images that must be populated have the same x,y coordinates and the same height, width dimensions for all slides.
It is fairly simple to utilize the Object Style Manager to set up standard objects like text or buttons, but how can I do the same for images?
I want to (if it is possible) use the Object Style Manager, or some other function, to set up images that I populate to always populate at the same x,y coordinates and at the same height and width. Is this even possible to do in Captivate 8?
As it stands now, for each image that I migrate onto a Captivate slide, I have to go over to the Properties pane in Captivate and manually adjust each image to the desired x,y and height, width coordinates.
The Properties pane has the option of locking the size and position of images, but this is only after they have been manually resized.
Also, I'd like to set up the Constrain Proportions to be unchecked for all slides.
Thank you for any help you can provide.

Why not use a master slide with a placeholder that has the correct size and position? Master slides, like object styles are part of the used theme. If you sae a custom theme, the master slide with the image placeholder is availabel in all your projects.
I would also import all images in the Library of a project and use that Library as external Library in each project instead of using always Media, Image... drag from the external library:

I have this issue as well, I think. I'm trying to drag a number of images (all the same size) from the library to one slide and would like to "snap" them to the same x,y coordinate. The image placeholder doesn't seem to "grab" them in. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Use a vertical and a horizontal guide at those coordinates. Lock the guides, and turn snap to guide on.
The snapping point in Captivate is by default the top left corner.

Thank you for your response. However, this does not resolve my problem. The images continue to come in cascaded.
