Question

Indesign not displaying .tiff files

Hi - Just tried to open a file and found Indesign isn't recognising any .tiff files.

Was all fine last time I opened a file up. Last Friday (3 days ago). Now every file I open has the same issue, Indesign say's there is a problem reading the tiff's (a disk error), but once open reports no errors, however all .tiffs are either represented by "Static" in the box or just an empty box.
If I manually re-link they seem ok, but I have thousands of legacy files that I refrence and it's the same in every file I open!
Is this an issue with the latest update? I'm running Indesign 2022 17.2.1 on a Mac running Monterey 12.3.1

 

Hoping this is a bug that will get patched!

Anyone else experiencing this or have any ideas? Help!

If you have all of your images in one folder you can relink all of it fast:

Unfortuneately the images are spread across multiple folders on several back up disks. Also, I'm more concerned that Indesign has decided to break the links in the first place (There's nothing wrong with the files and no other formats are effected - there are jpegs, eps's and photoshop files in these documents, all of those are perfect). It's clearly not a disk error as Indesign suggests as the other files are stored in the same places and as I say, accross multiple disks. 
This, in my opinion,  is an Indesign bug which needs fixing!

What about to do a package? It can helps to you if your files really on the places where it was. 

 

In the future: do not store your files in different places. Do package and backup this package.
