RH2020.2 Images of linked file are not updated

Yes, any text changes do update.

If you change any text in the Project 1 and then sync, does that update in Project 2 when that is synced?

I had misread the issue but I will set up some tests later.

So, here is what happens in RH2020.2 and in RH2019.0.14:

- Project 1 (source): I create a new topic and insert an image in it

- Project 2: I link the topic from Project 1 to this project

The result here is, that in Project 2, the image is not displayed. I would expect that the image can also be shown here. I am almost positive that this also was the case in previous RH versions.

Being the case that the images are not imported (or linked) at all, this explains why I did encounter the problem of my initial post with the images not syncing. But, as I said, I believe this has already been working and thus is a bug. Or is it not?

So you changed the image in Project 1 and synced it. What was shown in the source?

Logically if Project 2 is unchanged, then so is the source.

If you can just clarify what happens where, I will take this up with Adobe again.

Yes, as you say, if I change the image in Project 1, Project 2 says "out of sync". Then, when I sync, it says all fine, but the image is still old (resp. for new ones, not there at all).

I got the impression something got broken in RH2020.2 I broke the link and re-created the topic link, but no images came with it at all. I will investigate this further tomorrow. As far as I can recall, this has been working as you say in 2019 new UI.

It's not the same as the old Resource Manager.

I can't quite recall what I found when I did a proper test on this. If you change the image in Project 1 I believe it should then show as out of sync and you have the option to sync it back. Is that not the case? I can't check right now.

The other way of working might be to edit the image in the linked folder so that both projects show as out of sync.

For the next bit, do make sure you have a back up of your project first. What is in the Linked Folder does not get updated for new files and, I think, removed files. Try unlinking and linking again. Do the images used still retain their links.

Post back what you find and we can take it from there.
