maxen Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 AP just asked me if I would like to link my images instead of embedding - that' a nice suprise! But I could not find a way to actively force AP to link (or unlink) a file in a Dokument. There seems to be no entry in the help... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_K Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 When you start a new document you get the option in the new document dialog to set the Image Placement Policy to linked or Embedded. This can also be changed after the fact through the Document setup dialog which will affect resources added after the change. You can also use the resource manager to convert image between linked and embedded Cheers Alex_M and Rick G 2 Serif Europe Ltd - Check the latest news at www.affinity.serif.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seems to be only a Publisher feature, so far. And in other posts I'm sure I've seen Serif staff say that the linked vs embedded is going to be removed for Photo and Designer. -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I drag and drop a big JPG image (~20 mb) in the document and then save that document, the file size is quite big (~25 mb). So I don't think the link thing is working. Isn't the main purpose of linking to keep the document size small by referencing a file rather than having it physically in the document? Also, where can I find Document Setup dialog and Resource Manager? I searched the help but it didn't return any results. I'm using Photo 1.7.0.209 (Beta) Thanks!

Mark Ingram Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Photo and Designer don't support linked images. The UI just needs removing. @Chris_K was referring to Publisher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
