Add one-click option to relink all missing links to a folder

Participant ,

In InDesign, when all links in a document are missing, the workflow is very inefficient. Right now, I have to:

1. Click the first missing link,
2. .Shift-click the last one to select them all,
3. Choose
Relink to Folder…,
4. .Then finally pick the correct folder.

This should be possible in one step.

Please add a small icon or button in the Links panel (or in the Missing Links dialog) that immediately opens the Relink to Folder dialog for all missing links at once.

This would save a huge amount of repetitive clicking, especially in large documents.

You could make a shortcut key for Relink to Folder.

With the links panel open, Command/CTRL = A to select all of the missing links

[choose keyboard shortcut] mine is CTRL-OPT = l (on a Mac)

Choose the folder

Done.

It's not a one-click solution, but it does cut down the repetitive clicking.

Command/CTRL + A
CTRL-OPT + l
