Phil_rose Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Hi all, I just installed the 1.7 beta and I added an image. There was no way to add a linked image, which is weird. I had to embed the image and then click Replace Image and then replace it and click linked in that dialogue box. Will there be a way to choose a linked or embedded before this goes totally live? Anyway, now I have a linked image so I went to Photo and opened the source image and scribbled on it with the paintbrush. I then saved it and went back to Designer and a pop-up came up saying that the linked file had been updated however the image on screen has not updated. Should be image within designer not update when I update the linked image in photo? Thanks a lot for any help, Phil I like turtles!

Staff MEB Posted December 3, 2018 Staff Share Posted December 3, 2018 Hi Phil_rose, These controls (Embed Picture/Link Picture) in the Replace Image dialog shouldn't be there. Currently there's no way to manage embedded/linked documents in Designer and Photo, only in Publisher.

Staff MEB Posted December 3, 2018 Staff Share Posted December 3, 2018 Yes, that's the controls I was referring. Currently they shouldn't appear there. A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil_rose Posted December 3, 2018 Author Share Posted December 3, 2018 Ah. But it does! And I'm glad it does. Will you be removing it? Or adding to it to make it fully functional? Thanks!

Staff MEB Posted December 3, 2018 Staff Share Posted December 3, 2018 As far as I know these controls will be removed. I have no idea when linked images (along linked/embedded file/images management) will be ported to Designer and Photo, sorry. I suppose we will add them as soon as they are working reliably in Publisher.

Phil_rose Posted December 3, 2018 Author Share Posted December 3, 2018 Bah! That's a shame. This seems like a pretty high priority item. Ah well. Thanks anyway. I like turtles!

SrPx Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I find the answer fully satisfactory. They are testing the feature's reliability before porting to other apps, makes a lot of sense.

rubs Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 I wouldn't mind embedded images being the only option if AD compressed them, but since this doesn't seem to be the case, I wonder if this means we are stuck with those giant file sizes forever.

SrPx Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Yep, I don't know..... In every package I've handled in my life, linked images are a life savior when you are creating things like board/card games, and many types of publications or general designs, where an image is reused in the design (one design even calling many linked images) a lot, and you want to independently edit that image, have it always up to date without needing to re-embed it... But it's maybe just my usual workflows. In the other side, being able to embed is often important, too... LiamBlack and Medical Officer Bones 2 AD, AP and APub.

Rudolphus Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Yeah, those GIANT file sizes are real non-sense. Well, the management of embeded images in AD is, how to say it, at level zero. You wanna a PRO designing app so have "PRO" filesizes. Take it or leave it. Linked images could present a solution to this, too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
