  • Changing the source of all image links

    Posted by Joseph Wilkins on October 25, 2006 at 4:30 pm

    I would be grateful if someone could explain to me how to change the root folder of the images without having to individually re-link each file?

    In other words if I package a project then move the links folder and want to tell the doc to look to the new location for all images?

    I have CS 1

    thanks

    If you want to relink files, it is easier to place all your linked graphic in one folder. That when you relink one, the rest will automatically relink if they use the same name, as InDesign will check that folder. You can have more than one folder but you will have to update atleast one file in each folder.

    InDesign is really great as if you change the name of your folder from “2006 Brochure” to “2007 brochure”, it will still follow the same path and link to the documents, even if your folder has folders called “psd”, “pdf”, “ai” within the job folder.
