rubs Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 When opening some files from a coworker I get the following: If I click Yes, I get an Open dialog with the following option: This would make sense for Affinity Publisher, but Designer is the only app we have and use here. Since AD doesn't even have a resource manager, how can I even know which is the name of the missing resource(s)? Aren't all resources in AD embedded? I don't think there is anything missing from the file, so why the question? How can I make it go away? I'm confused... Please advise, thanks!

Staff Sean P Posted April 17, 2019 Staff Share Posted April 17, 2019 Hi rubs, Do you know when your coworker originally made the file? The Link/Embed options were incorrectly enabled on the File > Place dialog in an earlier beta, so it sounds as though they may have had it set to link, which would still cause the message to appear. Despite nothing appearing missing it will still check the file paths if it was accidentally Linked and if it cannot find it, it will display that message. That said I still don't believe the message should appear at all - for reasons like you say. As opening a Publisher with linked images will probably do the same. Would it be possible for you to attach the file at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately this particular file is subject to an NDA, so it cannot be shared with other people. Anyway agree with you, this message shouldn't even exist!

I was able to reproduce the issue using a Publisher file (which is going to be the more usual case) so I've passed it on to development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's probably because Windows is in pt-br and Affinity Designer is set to en-us. (Serif's Portuguese translations are quite bad.)

The 'Resource Manager' button on that dialog was added quite late to Publisher which trickled into Designer where it shouldn't be visible. This is something that I had passed on to development.

If it is reporting they're missing then I would look at locating them to ensure they're embedded. But bear in mind Linked Image is not yet a Designer 'supported' feature and is just 'revealed' due to a couple of small bugs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
