Updating linked images?


Recommended Posts

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

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.

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

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...

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...
