ponce52 Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 If the path to the image contains a question mark, the IDML needs to use the characters %3F. However, when the image is missing, Affinity Publisher chops the path name on the Resources Panel making it impossible to relink. Attached is a sample IDML. image test.idml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Gabe Posted May 26, 2020 Staff Share Posted May 26, 2020 Hi @ponce52, I'm not surprised special characters may cause issues. 13 hours ago, ponce52 said: Affinity Publisher chops the path name on the Resources Panel making it impossible to relink. I'm not sure how this can prevent you from re-linking the file. If you choose "Replace", you can still navigate to the same path and will work fine. The problem only seems to be handling the "?" during the import. Issue logged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
