cai Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 I have a one-page Publisher document into which I have placed (linked) many copies of a Designer file, using artboards to place different figures. Whenever I re-open the Publisher doc, I get a notice to open the Resources Manager, which then shows that the linked file is missing. Yet the path in the Resources Manager is correct, and when I click "reveal in Finder", it's right there. It's a 20 MB Designer file and also takes a long time (minutes) to "replace" the missing file with itself to fix the broken link. Also, the "remembered" size of the linked file here shows as 33MB, but it's actually 18MB. When I replace it with itself, it shows correctly as 18MB.

thomaso Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 I noticed such behavior in particular caused by container formats (like PDF, SVG, EPS, Affinity docs). It seems these formats can make APub complain about "missing content" for no reason.

SPaceBar Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Hi @cai Sorry for the delay in replying to your post. Do you still have this document? If so would you be able to upload it here so I can take a look please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cai Posted June 10, 2021 Author Share Posted June 10, 2021 @SPaceBar The file has changed since I made that post, and the issues is intermittent, but I've uploaded the current version in the hopes that it is still of use. SPaceBar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPaceBar Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Hi @cai Thanks for sending your document over. It crashes the release build but I have managed to load it in the latest Beta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cai Posted June 11, 2021 Author Share Posted June 11, 2021 @SPaceBar: Ah! I was having trouble loading it myself (takes several attempts), but I was putting this down to running Publisher on an ancient computer. I'll await the next update and hope that fixes the problem. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomaso Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 @SPaceBar, this issue of "missing content" seems to be reproducible just by modifying the linked resource without updating it by preference or manually when opening the .afpub. In this situation the Resource Manager doesn't display "Modified" (as expected) but says "missing content" and has the button "Update" grayed out. Then using "Replace" confirms that the file path is correct and the file not really missing. Try this: Download both files. Open the .afpub & replace to adjust the path to your needs. Save + close the .afpub. Open the .afdesign, modify it & save. Open the .afpub again without updating (neither auto nor manual) –> Resource Manager will say "Missing Content" & "Update" is greyed-out. v193 missing content.afpub v193 test.afdesign cai 1 Quote macOS 10.14.6 | MacBookPro Retina 15" | Eizo 27" | Affinity V1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPaceBar Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 @cai It appears to be stable so if you have any similar issue after the next update do pop back and let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
