Publisher: Problems finding an duplicated image in the Resource Manager

[Failix]

Hi there,

I have problems finding an image in the Resource Manager of Publisher (1.10.1.1142 / Win 10) when it is duplicated in the document. Maybe you can follow the steps below:

• places a number of pictures in a document (arrangement does not matter)
• click on one of the pictures with the mouse
• open the Resource Manager
• the name of the clicked picture is highlighted in blue in the Resource Manager
• close the Resource Manager
• duplicate the clicked picture and click on it
• open the Resource Manager again
• the clicked image is no longer highlighted

The reason for this is that the duplicated pictures are grouped in the Resource Manager. This group is closed by default. So you have to know the name of the clicked picture to be able to open its group. With many duplicates, this quickly becomes very confusing.

I think this is a bug. In my opinion, these groups should be open by default or I consider the grouping unnecessary. What do you think?

Regards,
Felix

Hi @Failix,

I can confirm the Resource Manager is currently behaving as expected, so this isn't explicitly a bug - however I can certainly understand the point you've raised here and the results you'd expect to see in-app.

I'll be sure to raise this with our development team as a suggested improvement, and move your thread to the Feedback section of our forums. I hope this helps

Hi @Dan C,

Thank you very much. May I make another wish?

The Resource Manager should become a studio view so that you can keep it open permanently. If I'm honest, I'd like it to be like the link palette in InDesign – or at least a bit like that. 😉
