Hi all,

I was wondering why i have seperate folders for my linked images after making a package.

FOR EXAMPLE:

Links>folderA...

Links>folderB...

Links>folderC...

I just have this for 1 file. All previous files i have made a package of put all the images in the "links" folder.

Not that much of a problem. But i was just wondering why it does it like this.

thanks

    yes

    Come on, Bart :-)


    Please make up an example if you cannot share actual file and folder names.

    Additional question: What is the file type of the placed image or graphic?

    Regards,
    Uwe


    I had a hunch and did a test on an old graphic from my archives. If the linked graphic is that old style dcs-eps, the the link file and all of its related channel files are collected into a folder when packaging.

    I've never seen anything like that. Is it a book being packaged or a single document?

    Hi All,

    screenshot included. Keep in mind that this screenshot has been taken AFTER making the package.

    The subfolders are made in the Packaging process. no idea why :s

    Also not all files come in the subfolders. Some of them are in the LINKS folder just as it should be.

    Screenshot is cut due to copyright reasons.

    So the folders are named as you show, with the '>' character in them? Or, are you trying to demonstrate sub-folders there?

    A screenshot of the actual folders from Explorer or Finder might help.

    Hi John,

    the '>' is to demonstrate subfolders.

    Screenshot not possible at the moment.
