Bug Affinty Photo when replacing placed photos.

[erdi12]

If a photo is placed and copied multiple times, it will appear as a group in Resource Manager. 
After replacing this photo, the grouping will remain if it is linked, 
and the group will be dissolved if the photo is embedded. 
It is expected that the group will remain in the resource manager in both cases.

I see the same behavior (on Windows; haven't tested on macOS).

For what it is worth I don't see this in Mac OS 12.7.4 Photo 2 2.4.2 The group is deleted from the Resources window when the last copy is removed.

Please try: Place and copy a Photo a embeded Grouo. Then Change the Photo by the Replace Option in the Ressource Manager und look if the group will remain or will be dissolved in single embedded items.

Is it possible for you to post a screen recording showing this issue that you are having as when I try to follow your workflow replacing the embedded images the group remains for me.

I have attached two screen rrecordings. One with a copied embeded objekt, where after replacing the file the group will be dissolved. The other shows the behaviour with a linked and copied objekt, where teh grouo remains.

On Mac, I see the same issue but if the file is Saved and Re-opened the replaced embedded image is grouped again in Resource Manager...
