PeterAG Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Since upgarding to 1.10.3 Publisher fails to show linked images as linked. If I embed they are picked up by Resource Manager. This only appears when an image is added to a 1.10.3 doc, docs created under earlier versions are fine until a new image is added. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artemotion Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Same problem here. If a file saved in the latest version of Photo or Designer and then imported that file in Publisher, it is showing as missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Dan C Posted October 28, 2021 Staff Share Posted October 28, 2021 Hi @Peter Alan Green & @Artemotion, Thanks for your reports and I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble! I can confirm this is a known issue which is logged with our development team for version 1.10.3 - it appears as though for newly linked files, the Resource Manager is not showing the correct status. Your files will likely not be 'Missing' and actually will be correctly linked, if you save this .afpub file, close and re-open it you should find that the Resource Manager is now correctly updated. We're working hard to get this resolved, but in the meantime you should be find to continue linking files as it is only the Resource manager that is incorrect and the files are correctly linked Quote Please note - I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time. Should you require a response from the team in a thread I have previously replied in - please Create a New Thread and our team will be sure to reply as soon as possible. Many thanks!

The problemns caused by a resizing a text box before flowing text from it. See my posts of yesterday. Not a bug just illogical behaviour.

I find that it goes beyond just showing the correct status, as it actually stops linked resources from automatically updating after they have been changed. You have to close the parent Publisher document and re-open it before the linked resources will be rendered with their latest updates (otherwise, the linked resources are rendered in publisher as how they were before changes were made to the linked resources). Example: My Publisher file links to an image of a dog. I add blue hair to the dog in Affinity Photo. But the image show in Publisher still shows the old pre-blue hair dog until I close the Publisher document and reopen it. Note it applies to all linked resources (e.g. linked Publisher files) and not just image formats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Dan C Posted October 29, 2021 Staff Share Posted October 29, 2021 Many thanks for letting me know @big smile! I can confirm this is also a known issue, which I'll be sure to 'bump' with development now As I understand it, this should hopefully be addressed with the above fix that our developers have implemented for the resource manager status - although this has not yet been confirmed by our dev or QA team so I'm not 100% certain yet. I hope this helps!

I hope this helps! @Dan C Thanks! I think it also might be related to this separate but very similar issue, where linked Publisher render as blank pages. Perhaps you could look at that and see if it relates. Thank you so much for all your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Dan C Posted October 29, 2021 Staff Share Posted October 29, 2021 Thanks for the link provided! I've taken a look through through your report there and although a somewhat similar issue, I don't believe this is related to the change that has caused the resource manager to stop working in 1.10.3. I can confirm however that you don't need to create a separate thread to report this again, I've simply updated the development log to include the most current version and added a 'report count' to the issue, in the hopes this will help increase it's visibility with our devs big smile 1 Quote Please note - I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time.
