Linking images

[sdrum]

AP is linking images that are embedded fine, but when it opens the window it doesn't show the file you are trying to link. It does link, though.

What do you mean by "it doesn't show the file you are trying to link"?

Hi Walt,

Under Resources Manager, when I have an image embedded and I want to link it instead, when choosing link, I just get a blank window. If I go ahead and click OK the image will get linked correctly. I tried to replicate the issue so that I can send you a snapshot and the window opened correctly, showing the files. I imagine that the final version will be more consistent and always show the files when the window opens. Thank you anyway.

If you have an embedded image and the original image has been moved/deleted etc, when you say make it linked it will give you a directory listing and when you click OK a copy of the embedded image will be created in that directory

by the way.. 

for all fotage exept fonts, this is a way to get some of the funktions you would want to have from packaging..    just embedd your Images, andd footage,  and when you use it somewhere else, you can select all embedded stuff and point it to another location another folder, where it will be extracted, so you get the stuff you need. this way you can extract from your original footage folder the stuff you finaly realy used inside of your document..

ah yes...

another thing i noticed..   after extracting my footage to a new folder and make it linked on the other computer...    and than saving the new document, the filesice didnt change..  it looked as if the now linked footage is still storred to your original file, even when the ressourcemanager now tells you it is now linked...  

sounds like a halve implemented feature or a bug.
