marcomourao Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 It takes roughly 30 minutes to open a 879KB Designer file. The app itself starts pretty fast and other files work fine, and while I can edit other documents while the file is opening, this is very frustrating. The only explanation I can find is that the file has a lot of linked images, artboards and slices. problem-file.afdesign Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 That document loaded for me in around a second but I don’t have the linked files. The Resource Manager says that a lot of the images are “Linked (Remote)”, maybe from a website or somewhere similar, so that’s probably a good place to start. If you have linked images it’s usually best to have them stored locally on the machine you are using. I’ve attached a copy of the document with the images removed in case it helps. problem-file-2.afdesign Aammppaa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aammppaa Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Hi @marcomourao. I tried it on my machine, and it opened in around 1 second. Obviously none of the linked images were present. Does this version of the file (without the images) still take ages to open? Perhaps temporarily rename / move the location of the images so that the file can't find them to do the test.

The image files are on a Google Drive shared folder since I need to collaborate. I'll have to copy to a local folder. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seems to be the issue. Thank you! Aammppaa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 You’re welcome. Hopefully the document I gave you back has enough content that getting it in ‘working order’ again isn’t too much of a chore. (I only removed the image layers and their associated effects, if any. Everything else should still be there, even if it’s not visible as white on a white background.)
