Problem:
I have a file with liked pngs on my PC, in a iCloud folder.

I open my file on iPad pro. The files aren't linked anymore, because it's using PC paths (C:// etc.).

I have to reconnect the SINGLE pngs (not even the folder directly). But then they don't work on PC anymore.
EDIT: they actually then work on PC, if they have been connected on ipad. I think it's because the path "com-apple-CouldDocs/etc." works on both devices. But this very iCloud specific I guess.

Solution would be to have an abstract path, like in most softwares: "*/likedFiles" for example.

Is this possible in Affinity Designer? Can this please be implemented?

Sorry for the long delay in replying to this request but the Serif team and the secondary support team of simply users like myself have been answering as many as possible as quickly as possible.

I think there are likely only two possible solutions,

  1. the one that you discovered which is iCloud references and keep all of your resources and files in iCloud (this is also what I do so that I can work on iPad, Mac or PC versions) or the other alternative, 
  2. if you have the universal license with publisher, is that you can “package your work up on PC, save the resulting exported “.afpackage file to iCloud or via any other medium such as USB drive and then open on the iPad and vice versa. An .afpackage file is like a zip file that contains all the resources a document require including images, fonts etc that might not be installed on the other system.

Hope this helps.

Apologies again for late response.

You might try to structure everything so the .afpub file is in a directory, and in that same directory you have another directory which contains the images. That's one structure that is supposed to work, but I haven't tried it with iCloud and PC and iPad.

Alternatively, you could use DropBox rather than iCloud. V2 has new support to provide consistent access to DropBox files, if you Link the service via Preferences, Linked Services.

That shouldn’t be necessary. Linked services are automatic for linked resources in iCloud. You do need to be logged in to the iCloud account either via, system preferences, settings or iCloud for Windows. You also need to link Dropbox etc via preferences in each app. 🙂
