Roger D Posted November 29 Share Posted November 29 I have my whole project in a folder on the desktop and images linked to TIFFs in sub folders. Is it safe to move the folder somewhere else if I retain the same structure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted November 30 Share Posted November 30 Linked resources use absolute paths so moving the resources, or the document they are linked in, would cause you some problems. However, you can use the Resource Manager to re-link the resources. Another option might be, depending on what you are doing, to save the document as a Package before you moved things but that might create its own storage problems as the package will also contain a copy of all the linked resources and some other things. See the application Help about Packages for more information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger D Posted November 30 Author Share Posted November 30 I will use the Resource Manager then. Many thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted November 30 Share Posted November 30 You’re welcome. In addition to what I said above, when you open a document which has missing (moved?) resources you should get a pop-up dialog asking you what you want to do. I can’t remember what the options are but one of them is a way to quickly tell the software how to re-locate the resources by selecting a new ‘root’ folder.

Roger D Posted November 30 Author Share Posted November 30 That sounds even better. Thank you. GarryP 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
