Embedding does not embed

[Fritz_H]

Hi,
triggered by this posting:  https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/129579-affinity-all-never-purge-useless-data-at-saving/
I tried to see this issue myself:

created an empty document,
drew an empty picture frame,
clicked on "replace image" and chose a JPG-file of about 11 MB and
made sure that "EMBED Picture" is selected
saved that Publisher-File and
closed Publisher.

The size of the Publisher-File (about 520KB) was, well:  suprising.

I renamed the JPG-File and opened the Publisher-File.
Result:

????

Windows 8.1 Pro 64 Bit, german.
Publisher: 1.8.5.703

You must set the embedding in the resource manager not the explorer window if you use replace image button.

so, what are these options good for?
some more Usability-Nonsense?

In your case,yes

Well, an option that does not work is useless and may therefore be considered a bug.... to be fixed.
