Deep linking

[temega]

In Affinity Photo 2, I have a document with linked documents which themselves have linked documents. Aka deep linking.

Changing a linked document updates the root/parent document. Changing a child of a child or linked inside linked document doesn't update the root document. I have to have the first child document open and save it to update the root document.

Root document
  > linked resource 1 
      > deep linked resource - doesn't update root document when changed.
  > linked resource 2
...

"Automatically update linked resources..." is on.

I would expect the root document to update whenever I change a linked document and deep linked document. Makes sense no?

By the way, just got myself APhoto2 a month ago and I'm loving it! Runs Flies effortlessly on my M1 Macbook Air.

So it's a technical problem. I would say that it's still expected to work as mentioned.

Resource 1 needs to be opened and saved for the change to appear in Root.

That would mean opening 20+ resources in my case.
