Designer 2.0.4 on Windows 10.
Note: The “Automatically update linked resources when modified externally” setting in Preferences/General needs to be ON to see this happening.
If I:
Create an Artboard;
Go to the Export Persona;
Select the Artboard;
Export it via the button at the bottom right of the Slices Panel;
Check “Continuous”;
Go back to the Designer Persona;
Create a new Artboard;
Place the exported file into the new artboard and change it to a Linked resource…
The linked resource is updated continually even when the contents of the Artboard aren’t changing.
See attached video (the ‘wobbly mouse pointer’ is just to show that the video hasn’t ended).
The Help says: “Continuous—when selected, slices are re-exported automatically if the content within the slices are modified.” but I’m not updating the contents of the slice.
Is this expected?
Note: I only found this by accident, this process is not something I would normally do.
