Currently I have either  write a new path manually after clicking in properties/file path   or try to solve the puzzle of looking into dependency number and see what it might be  in a mess  of  explorer, among huge list  of similar  undistingwishable  things , not even a seach field in explorer pane    or  just drop anothe file and recoonect.    All the options are extremly annoying  and tediouce.

 

I see "delete and relink"  but it just deletes , no file dialog to re-link .

What am I missing?      Tried dependency manager  couldn't find anything there

If I have a missing link I usually just look in Designer's explorer panel for the yellow triangle next to the missing resource  - right click the resource and choose "Relocate", which opens Windows Explorer. Then it's either find the original image and click it or find an alternative and click that.

Isn't it pretty inconvenient. Especialy  when you  have a few dozens of those  yellow triangles  which have nothing to do to your current graph  and you have to  tediously relocate them one  by one in hope one them is actully the one you need .   No  way to filter  them or get rid of unused ones.

Hello @kirkr5689,

 

Indeed, the management of package dependencies can be improved and we plan to review the current implementation and discuss how to rework it to make the Dependency Manager a more powerful and reliable tool.

 

In the meantime, could you please share a screenshot of the Dependency manager panel for your package?

Please make sure the package is selected in the Explorer panel and the manager is accessed by clicking RMB on the package item and selecting the Open Dependency Manager option in the contextual menu.

 

I appreciate your patience!
