tersmuse Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilltop Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutchshader Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Is it not publisher that has a resource manager?

Pšenda Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 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.
