Is there a Resource Manager in Designer 1.7?

It is repeatable: 

  1. Create new doc as Print and size A4
  2. Place a another designer doc inside it and not it says embedded document next to the name in the layers pallet
  3. Click Edit Document and do a change to the other designer doc
  4. Close the Edit Document window
  5. Close and save the main document
  6. Open the main document and the Linked Resource Changed dialogue box appears briefly.

Confirmed, but I would not worry about it.

1.7 had a lot of reported bugs in this area (embedded, linking files) and there have been a lot of changes in the 1.8 beta which have corrected them, including the one you have posted about.

To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum. If any of "my" posts are wrong or appear to be total b*ll*cks they are the ones generated by the AI. If correct they were probably mine. I apologise for any mistakes made by my AI - I'm sure it will improve with time.

Pretty much all the raster images I drag into my documents are linked. If I move or delete them in Finder, Affinity complains and can't render the image. When I open Affinity Designer, you can see below the Resource Manager pops up asking me to fix it.

NOTE I don't own Affinity Publisher and did not create this document in Publisher. I created it in Designer and only ever opened it in Designer. Below I used the Resource Manager to locate the image and switch it to an embedded document.

It shouldn't be complaining about Embedded images (and they are Embedded, as the Resource Manager shows, not Linked). That bug is fixed in the 1.8 beta, I believe.

Hey so actually they were linked, it complained, and then it opened Resource Manager and I switched them to Embedded. That's why it shows Embedded.

Thanks for the clarification. In that case, when you create your documents, what Preset are you using?

One of the bugs (fixed in 1.8) is that using the Preset "Print (Press-Ready)" causes images to be Linked in 1.7, when it shouldn't.

Interesting. I'm thought I saw that it was fixed in 1.8; maybe I was wrong.
