robinp Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 I have a file with about 8 files that were linked. I had to edit the files so then went to Resource Manager (having finally located it... see other thread) to update them. Then exported to PDF. A weird error came up and it didn't manage to overwrite the previous export. Exported again with a new file name and then noticed that all the links were replaced with the same file. I'm not sure when this happened, but I assume it was part of the process of updating the links. When I updated the links, I selected all the ones showing as 'modified' and clicked 'update'. Unfortunately, I now need to go through re-Placing the files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robinp Posted September 7, 2018 Author Share Posted September 7, 2018 Now going through the files in Resource Manager and correcting the files. Twice now, I have managed to correct two placed / linked images. The third caused a crash both times. Going through slowly, file by file, and saving between I have now managed to put the correct images back. I'd say this is a pretty major bug. You can't have a DTP app replacing images with different files on its own. @Chris_K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robinp Posted September 13, 2018 Author Share Posted September 13, 2018 Has this bug been noted? @Chris_K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_K Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Hi robinp I can say I've seen this and I am not aware of this being reported from others yet. Have you had it occur in 128 or with any other files? Probably a long shot but are you able to provide the file that did this?

I had it saved for a while but after no response to it for a while I deleted it. I'll see if I can dig out from our back ups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
