Document's linked images display in low-res when first opened. Is there a global refresh button?

[cchris]

I'm working on a document that has a lot of linked images. When first opened, they all appear fuzzy as shown in the attached screen capture. I have to click on each one and wait for it to change to high-res before it displays normally. The document is stored on a remote server if that matters.

What I want to know is whether there's a global refresh button or option that'll relieve me of this tedious task.

Thanks,
Chris

Sounds like this:

Thanks for your reply. Maybe it's that the document I'm working on has a lot more images, but they don't refresh until I'm looking at them (Schroedinger's thumbnails). Sounds like AP is working normally but it could be designed better when it comes to displaying linked images. I'm going to add it to the suggestions topic.

It does.
Affinity programs only work(for now) with local saved files,so no NAS ,cloud or external drives.

Actually the applications will work fine sometimes with cloud and networked drives. It is the likelihood of disconnecting/sleeping that causes problems. And as the 'problems' (my term) could be complete loss of all information you are best served by not using networks or cloud services.

Thanks for your reply. To see if the remote server was the problem, I copied the entire document to my Desktop and opened it. After waiting two minutes for the images to refresh (they never did), once again I had to click on an image for it to refresh. Things moved swiftly after that, and each image sharpened quickly as it appeared on the page, without having to be clicked. But AP isn't refreshing the images automatically upon open, which was the original problem.

AP definitely works reliable with remote servers for me. as that's where all my docs are stored. Occasionally, I'll get an error that it couldn't save a file, but when I repeat the save it always works.
