Relinking Graphics: Tired of Navigating to the the Original Link Folder? Fix it!
Do you often have to relink images in your InDesign documents, only to have InDesign point you to a folder from an entirely different project or client? Then you have to go navigating through your hard drive, looking for the correct links folder? Well, be frustrated no more!
Fix it this by going to: Preferences > File Handling > Links. There you can choose from either the Most Recent Relink Folder, or the Original Link Location. I like to change this setting depending upon which project I am working on and what would be the most efficient for that project.
Unlike many Preferences, this setting is an application preference, as opposed to a document preference. For more information about Application- vs. Document Preferences, A Visual Guide to InDesign Preferences.
