DarkClown Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 I included pictures from my asset panel into my layout. Just to be sure I included the right version I'd like to get some information on the referenced original file (name). Is there any way to retrive this information from a picture in the layout somehow? Even file format or size would be helpful.

walt.farrell Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 If you create the Asset from an (Image) layer, then when you use the Asset in a document the Resource Manager will know the original file's name and location.

DarkClown Posted December 15, 2021 Author Share Posted December 15, 2021 The assets were imported JPGs - and they don't show up in the ressource manager 😞 Quote i7-12700KF, 3.60 GHz, 32GB RAM, SSD, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070, Wacom Intuos 4 Tablet, Windows 11 Pro - AP, AD and APublisher V1 and V2https://www.timobierbaum.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, a Placed JPG that is an (Image) layer does retain its information in the Assets panel, and then in the Resource Manager when the Asset is put into a document, 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...
DarkClown Posted December 16, 2021 Author Share Posted December 16, 2021 Hmmm, I added the Assets via drag & drop to the assets panel. Of course they show up as layers in the document on the referring page once I dropped them from the asset panel to the document. But they don't show up in the ressource manager ...

DarkClown Posted December 16, 2021 Author Share Posted December 16, 2021 I played around with this ... it seems like not all assets are recognised for what type of element they really are (I'm aware that assets can be various types of elements but I don't see the benefit, if the file information is lost when placed in the assets panel). A picture from the asset panel that was added by drag and drop into the assets is lost for the ressource manager whlie the same picture placed in the document as an image and is added to the asset panel by "Add selected" stays on an image layer, can be placed in a document and is still shown in the ressource manager even when used in multiple instances. It would be great, if image-objects that were added via drag&drop to the asset panel would be identified for what they are and placed on according object layer as well instead of beeing "flattened" flatened to a useless pixel layer.
