Automatically update linked resources not working?

[Matthew Twomey]

I've placed an image in Publisher (as linked) and then edit that image in Photo (persona). When I return to Publisher persona, it's not updating? Here's what I'm seeing:

It just shows "modified" in the resource manager. Am I missing something?

Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums, Matthew.

That doesn't seem right to me. Which MacOS and Publisher releases are you using? Also, where is the file stored?

I see another report of a similar problem, but it doesn't look to have been resolved:

Thanks for the welcome! The file was / is stored right on my main drive (same drive running the Affinity Products).

I did manage to resolve this problem, by going into system preferences and granting the Affinity products full disk access. I wasn't prompted to do so - and I'm not positive if this is the right / only solution, but it appears to have resolved it for me.

My issue is 'Missing' rather than modified. The linked file is a .afphoto file which I'm making adjustments to as I go, and auto update linked files is ticked in the prefs/general. The linked file is on my NAS drive but shifting the linked file to my desktop and relinking doesn't solve the issue. Any change and subsequent re-save will then render the linked file as 'Missing'. I've just tried your Full Disk Access idea as above but that didn't work for me. All 3 apps updated this morning, so on 1.10.3, plus I've never come across this issue before.
