jakamaschi Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 I edit a Affinität Publisher document together with a friend. He work on the text-part, i on the image part. All images are linked and stored in one folder beside the Publisher document. But since Publisher stored the absolute path to the images an exchange of the Publisher document is not really practicable, since the absolute paths on each computer are not the same. Therefore after exchanging the document, both get the warning of missing resources and have to replace every(!) image manually inside the Resource manager. Since we have several dozens of images in our document, every time a laboriously, painstaking and error-prone job. My question: is it not possible to change the path to all linked images with only one single change of the path to the folder? Or to use a relative path to the images, relative to the Publisher document. Or a tiny, little bit of AI inside the resource manager to search for the missing images, after one had manually exchange the first missing image and therefore giving a new path to the images?

ashf Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 There are apps to gather images linked to specified place for Adobe/Quark. So someday somebody will create such an app for Affinity too, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you Open the document and get the popup about missing resources, click Yes rather than Resource Manager. When you locate the first image, Publisher will find the rest of them that are in the same folder. ashf 1 Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
