Automatic update of linked files, V 2.4.2


Recommended Posts

Hi,

Publisher (possibly also all apps) - 2.4.1 & 2.4.2 (MSIX) Win 10 Pro

- Preferences, General (publisher) see right image: "Automatically update linked resources when external changes are made"

1. Two linked designer files were changed for a book and saved again (in Designer)
2. After reopening the book file (publisher), the checklist shows that these files have been changed (see left image), but they have not been updated automatically!

@design punch Can you do a full screen recording showing the issue occur? 

My basic workflow:

  1. Created a design in Designer and saved.
  2. Opened Publisher, confirmed "Automatically update linked resources when external changes are made" is enabled within apps Settings.
  3. Started a new doc (Placement: Linked)
  4. File > Place, inserted Designer file from 1.
  5. Save Pub file
  6. Reopened Designer and edit file, saved closed
  7. Reopened Publisher file, changes to placed Designer file are shown.

You do reference a book file, which I didn't include in my basic workflow, so this could be related. But just in case I created a new book, added the Pub file as a chapter and saved. Edited the Designer file again and saved, then reopened everything in Publisher and the linked file is updated. A screen recording will help to confirm your workflow.

Hi Lee D,

I just tried it again, did some tests, but now it works properly.
Also linking and changing e.g. designer files from V1 works.

In contrast to your procedure, I had worked intensively on a book, i.e. publisher and designer were open all the time and some designer files were edited and changed one after the other.
Perhaps there is only a problem after a few or a number of such processes (open-change-save).
I'll have to see if it happens again.

At the moment I have no idea what the difference is/was with the problem before?
