Ressource Manager file handling

[mirkoschieder]

Hi!

Two feature requests:

I am forced to constantly switch between a Mac and Windows workstation working in the same document (via USB drive). Since Apple and Microsoft use different filesystems and thus completely different file paths, I am constantly forced to reconnect the "missing" files, whenever I switch. Embedding is not an option, because it's a book with lots and lots of large pictures.

 

So   1), is there a way for Publisher, to ignore complete file paths and look first in the home folder of the document?

and 2), if a missing image is found in a path, could publisher start looking for other images along the same path, like most video editing apps can? That would streamline the working process of the ressource manager enormously.

 

 

Thanks, Mirko Schieder

For 2): Yes. Close the document, open it again. You get an alert, that images are missing. Select "Yes", browse the image and the rest inside the same path will be relinked.

You may also want to look at the new Save as Package option currently in beta testing in ver 1.9

That may be an alternative way of working between Mac & PCs in the future
