I have done several tests and it does not work with Affinity Photo "images". Whether the images are linked or embedded doesn't change anything. Iit's a pity not to be able to use this function with images from Photo.

Yes.

I'm sorry, but I can't find this dialog box when I select the picture frame with the move-tool. (version 1.85)

Just to say that the problem is solved (1.8.5). Just open the Text Frame palette and change the color.

When I did the test to change the path, I just reversed the Windows type separator to the MacOS type. It was a quick test to validate that the problem came from there. Of course, it didn't work, which is normal, because we didn't edit binary like that. That's why I did the test to open the Windows files on another Windows machine and there I didn't have the broken link. However, I don't know if Affinity's techs read the forum, but I'd like to hear their opinions.

I also opened a Publisher file with a text editor (Text Wrangler) and tried to change the path, but it doesn't seem to be enough, because when I opened the file with Publisher, the path in the Resource Manager was the same. How do we get an answer directly from Affinity? Otherwise, my test is very easy to repeat. Open on a Mac a Publisher file created with Windows and vice versa. I may have made a mistake, but I did the test with almost 30 cross-platform files. If you do the test, let me know.

OK, I just did the test on a PC under Windows (I have 37 folders to do tests and I confirm that the link is not absolute, but relative. However, since the path is not written in the same way between MacOS "/" and Windows "\", Publisher MacOS does not know how to find the right path. On the other hand, Publisher Windows knows how to find the right way. Bug probably easy and quick to fix.

Are you sure about the absolute paths? What I can tell you is that I took the test last week. I led a week of Affinity product awareness training at a business school in France with 35 students. Half on MacOS and the other half on Windows. I had no problems with folders from Macs, but 100% error with folders from Windows. I had asked everyone to create an identical structure with a master folder in which there was the Publisher file and a folder containing the images. I am myself under MacOS. As soon as I find a PC I will do the test to open the folders from WIndows. If I open them without any problems, it will confirm this fact.

I recently had to open a folder on my Mac with a Publisher 1.72 file and an image folder containing the Photo files from a Windows PC. All images had lost their link in the Resource Manager. Is it related to the fact that the folder separator in the links is reversed between MacOS and Windows? If so, then it's a annoying bug that makes cross-platform exchanges almost impossible on large folders, especially since there's no way to have an image folder recognized at once.
