tersmuse 1 Posted July 4 By placing photos in Designer (Desktop) the .afdesign files get very big. Is it possible to link photos, so that the file size of the .afdesign file stays small? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hilltop 46 Posted July 4 You can link images rather than embed them. Go to Documents/Resource Manager. Edit: Oops, I may have spoken to soon. This option is available in Publisher but possibly not in Designer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pšenda 329 Posted July 5 24 minutes ago, tersmuse said: too bad If you have an APublisher, there is no problem opening *.afdesign files in it, and convert embeded image to linked. Designer even has a hidden Resource Manager, so he can solve the missing linked file. Perhaps it will eventually allow the linking images in Designer.
