How to relink from Apple Photo Album in Publisher V2

[Rene V360]

Hello,

On my Apple MacBook I created a large Publisher file with linked images directly from my Apple PhotoAlbum. After dividing this document into two parts, removing to another folder and renaming the documents I cannot Relink the images anymore; I cannot select the Photos(app). The only way via resource manager apparently is to Replace each image one by one. Do I miss something or is there quick solution to solve this time-consuming process?

Thanks in advance,
René

Welcome to the forums @Rene V360,

If you're working with Image resources stored in Apple Photos I'd recommend embedding the resources instead. Apple Photos doesn't store the images in a typical folder path/directory in Finder which Publisher would be expecting, but rather a '.photoslibrary' package which can't be re-linked to in resource manager.

However, If you open resource manager and select 'Show in Finder' for any of the Apple Photos resources that are still linked, you should see that each of them exist in a unique 'uuid' folder which Publisher links to and it may be possible to re-link to, but it's in a deeply nested folder location related to the library package, so it's easiest to just embed these images instead.

Thanks for the reply. Since it is a huge file I specifically did not embed the images. Another reason was that the app stopped randomly completely. I will try again the proposed relink-process. In the meanwhile I copied all the used images from the Photoalbum to a separate (easy to find) new folder and linked this with my document.
