Matthias Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Not when placing a picture but only when replacing it you’ll find an option button where you can choose whether to embed the placed resource or link it (keeping Designer file size small). The UI seems to be a bit messed up and it would be great if the option also existed within the ”Place“ command in the first place. But still it is great to have the option right within Designer, thanks for that! Alfred 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 We have been told by Serif staff that having those choices in that dialog is a bug, and they will be removed at some time.

Matthias Posted June 17, 2019 Author Share Posted June 17, 2019 As long as Affinity implements the functionality somewhere else this is fine with me. I think the user should be able to choose between linking and embedding images. As it can be achieved with a few clicks to Publisher and back there is already a way to keep Designer files with images small. For the time being I am happy with Affinity app hopping, too.

Staff Sean P Posted June 18, 2019 Staff Share Posted June 18, 2019 Hi Matthias, As Walt has indicated these are not intended to be there. It is with development to be removed. With that said however file linking and embedding should make their way to Designer eventually. Matthias 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
