Sam Neil Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Apologies if this has been asked before but can you please consider adding a "FIX ALL" button for Preflight if there are multiple files/resources that have been modified like attached screen. It makes life much easier and less errors and time scrolling up and down finding the modified files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bruce Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 I would deal with the Linked Resources with a trip to the Resource Manager.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be the same. an "UPDATE ALL" button would be in order - unless I have missed something here. My point is to process multiple files in one go.

GarryP Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Are you suggesting that a “Fix All” button should be available only for fixing all “Linked Resource has been modified” errors, or that a “Fix All” button should be available at any time to fix all the errors that are there? If the former, “Fix All” would be badly-named if there were mixed errors as the user could expect all errors to be fixed but some would not be. If the latter, how would that work with mixed errors?

My point is to process multiple files in one go. Why not just configure the app to update the files automatically? That's a setting in Preferences.

The idea was rather than me going to each individual resource and press the "FIX" button, I would have one button that would do this (Based on my screenshot).

The Fix all would be essentially a manual button to trigger what Walt suggested - But now the option that it does automatically (preferences) answers my request. I am working on a very heavy image based book and the images get updated quite frequently and this was the reason but the boys at Serif had already thought of this and had an option which I had not seen.

walt.farrell Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Alternatively, for those who might not want the updating to happen while they're working on the document, the Resource Manager could have an Update All button, which would be more focused than a "Fix All" in the Preflight processing, and avoid the problem that Garry brought up, Krustysimplex 1 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...
