dmstraker Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 When I'm Placing an image, AP is saying 'Image Policy - Your document contains a large amount of embedded image date. Would you like to link your images to reduce the document size?' While this is very kind, I'd rather say no in the instance where I'm working. But then it keeps asking me this question every time. Can I turn it off? It would be helpful also if AP offered a checkbox that says 'Use the same answer next time'. Thanks!

AlainP Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 When you create a new document there is the option "Image Placement Policy" where you can select "Prefer Embedded" or "Prefer Linked". -- Window 11 - 32 gb - Intel I7 - 8700 - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 -- iPad Pro 2020 - 12,9 - 256 gb - Apple Pencil 2 -- iPad 9th gen 256 gb - Apple Pencil 1 -- Macbook Air 15" - Mac mini M2-Pro - 16 gb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smadell Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Alain... Dave is on Windows; I am on a Mac. However, the Image Placement Policy you refer to is available in Publisher, but it is not available in Photo. I can confirm (at least on my Mac) that placing an image into a document in Affinity Photo results in the Image Policy question that Dave refers to, and does not appear to be something that can be shut off.

smadell Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 It's not available in the current Affinity Photo Beta on my Mac (see screenshot). It would seem nice if it was a setting in Preferences, rather than a one-by-one setting in New Document.

dmstraker Posted December 31, 2018 Author Share Posted December 31, 2018 In Windows PC version I set 'Prefer Embedded' in a New document then did a Place. I still got the original question coming up, asking if I'd prefer to link as it's all pretty big. It's nice to be asked once, but not all the time. I just want to be able to switch this 'nag' off. Perhaps what is missing is a Document/Properties panel, which lists attributes of the document, from Policy to pixel size. This is handy in itself. Then have buttons off to do things like resize and change policy.

This is handy in itself. Then have buttons off to do things like resize and change policy. The Resource Manager is also missing. It's only in Publisher. I'm not sure that Serif intends for Photo and Designer to support linked files, other than the extent needed for compatibility with Publisher's .afpub files. But someone from the Affinity team would need to comment on that. But clearly part of the processing for linked files is there, and part isn't. As we're working with a beta we can't be sure whether more should be present, or more should be missing Chris J 1 -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU.

Staff Chris J Posted January 2, 2019 Staff Share Posted January 2, 2019 Thanks Walt. Indeed, that option is not supposed to be available in Photo and Designer. It's been reported and is on my list to remove it. Thanks Chris walt.farrell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
