nautiloda Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 There is not diference between linked and embedded images, the files are the same size. (Publisher Beta 1.7.0.58) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
padura Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Hi I do not know if I understand what you mean. Is your afpub embed file containing images? Embed afpub embed must be bigger since it starts to contain images. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nautiloda Posted September 20, 2018 Author Share Posted September 20, 2018 Yes, both files have the same images, the first with embedded images and the second with linked images, but both have the same size Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nautiloda Posted September 20, 2018 Author Share Posted September 20, 2018 Actually, the file with linked images is only a little smaller than the other (52.5 vs 52.9 MB) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted September 20, 2018 Staff Share Posted September 20, 2018 Hi nautiloda, Welcome to Affinity Forums We are already aware of the linked/embedded file issues you are describing. This is being looked at and should be fixed/improved in future updates. nautiloda 1 A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixx Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 I would think the issue is that default placing is embedding. After you unembed them they are not flushed properly from file contents. It would be much better if linking were a default and embedding a user option, as this is how layout software has always worked. Unless someone can explain why embedding is a great thing?

Staff MEB Posted September 20, 2018 Staff Share Posted September 20, 2018 Fixx, You can select the default policy when you create a new document. Check the Image Placement Policy dropdown almost on the top in the New Document dialog. Fixx 1 A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixx Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Ah OK, thank you! Though drag&drop embeds always, it should behave just like Place. I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only embed graphics that are used in templates as those tend to get lost when transferring templates to different users. Other one time used graphics are handled as linked with normal workflow hygiene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
