    Cannot relink images - nothing happens when relinking

    in V2 Bugs found on macOS

    Posted · Edited by Ecifircas
    Specifying my hardware and OS versions.

    Hey,

    I have set up a publisher file (in V1) which has a lot of linked images. I had to reorganise the image folder in the meanwhile, so I need to relink (now in V2) the files via Resource Manager. However, this does not seem to work. After selecting the correct folder, nothing happens. The resource managers simply maintains the old path.

    The only way for me to correctly relink the files is to manually replace them one by one, which is a lot of useless work for dozens of images.

    I am working on Publisher V2, M1 Mac, Ventura 13.0.1 (22A400).

    Hope you can have a look at this,

    All the best,

    Excessive file size

    Hey I did the steps,

    Strangely, after embedding the file size already went down to 1,26 GB.
    But then after relinking the file size went further down to 51 MB. Much better!

    The document seems to be intact. I do notice some slower loading when scrolling though.

    Thanks!

    I'm working on a file in which I've been adding mostly jpgs and some pdfs. They are all placed as linked files.

    The whole document is 36 pages and very basic. Nevertheless the file is 4,87 GB large!

    How's this possible? I have checked the resource manage and all files are linked:

    Global layers

    Hey, I'm just looking into this conversation, and I haven't quite read through all 7 pages, so this question might have been addressed before, but there is something I don't understand.

    'Global layers' seem to suggest a set of overarching layers that are higher in the hierarchy than regular layers. As I understand, this would not match with the use of layers in the other apps which is not nested.

    On the other hand a 'linked layer' (as exists in Photo) makes more sense to me. It would exist at the same level of regular layers but its behaviour would be linked across pages. It could be implemented starting from the existing 'linked layer' from Photo and adapt its behaviour to workflows typically used in lay-outing (eg. auto-create all linked layers in all new pages, of course without any objects).

    This seems simpler, so am I missing something?

    PS: For those who think long, multi-language documents don't exist in a single layout: I am now working on an atlas of 400-500 pages (in InDesign). All legends, captions and introductory texts are indeed in two languages. This use case is definitely not hypothetical in Belgium.

    Artboards Pannel?

    It might be more useful to hide the dartboards from the layer panel. So you would just zoom out and visually select the artboard. The layer panel would only show those on the selected artboard and hide all other artboard layers.

    I currently find it needlessly clogged to see all artboards layers even though I am not working in them.
