evtonic3 Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Can you please allow EPS files to be used as links? I noticed that every other format of file is allowable except this one. But its the one I use most! Mostly for small versions of artwork created for spec sheets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 I'm not sure what you mean.

I had embedded images, including eps files that in the resource manager, I was changing to linked and the one that it wouldn't do it with was the eps files.

walt.farrell Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Thanks for that clarification. Yes, it appears that "Make Linked" won't work in the Resource Manager when you have an Embedded EPS file. That seems like a legitimate area for improvement, but the Affinity applications certainly support having Linked EPS files Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
