Any way to update lost links?

I have a file with many links in it. I have moved all of the links to various different folders on my hard drive. Is there any way for illustrator to AUTOMATICALLY search for and locate the linked files? It is a pain in the rumpola to have to manually search for and update each link. I should have organized the files better to begin with. It seems like AI should be able to search my hard drive and at least find all of the files with the same name of the file that it is missing... Then I would just be able to click on the proper file and update it. Currently, I have to type in the name of the file manuall and search my hard drive. Doing this for hundreds of files takes way too long. Does anyone feel may pain? LOL  Are there any other solutions? Mac 10.6.8 / CS6

Thanks for the tip, but I have many links spread across many different folders and drives. When those links get broken, it is a nightmare to try to locate and update all of the files. I would like for illustrator, or another program, to search through my hard drives and folders and find the missing links. However on my drives there may be mulitple files of the image with the same name. So it would be nice to be able to set a preference to find the either the MOST RECENT file, or to have a feature that would show me the various locations of linked files and allow me to pick one of those links. I realize that it might take some time for illustrator to search through everything to find the files, but it would be way easier than searching for each missing link manually. I don't want to have to type in the name of every file that I am looking for... I want the program to do that for me. Does that make sense? The program at willhouse.com does a good job, but doesn't have a preference to find the most recent file, or to allow me to find all links with the same name, and pick which link I want to use. Also, if you use wills program, then make sure you turn on all of your layers, and unlock all of your layers, before running his program.

  • Is there any way to update the new pricing automatically?

    Hi,
    with reference to the below link i have some queries
    Re: is there any way to update the new pricing automatically?
    i din understand the below point mentioned in the thread
    You see this option is changes sales order(VA02), item pricing, update tab at the bottom.
    can u pls explain ?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    First of all it is not at all possible that you have added something to user exit for sales order and that is affecting billing.
    While billing try
    USEREXIT_PRICING_PREPARE_TKOMP
    instead of USEREXIT_PRICING_PREPARE_TKOMK.
    Also, you need to sit with the SD functional person to check and decide upon what config is to be adopted in copy controls for pricing type. In case you wish to do everything through the user exit then std controls need to be set in a way that whatever is in sales order should come up in billing, inclusive of manual conditions unchanged.
    In case of short dump issues, the code is not written at the right place. Before your code write
    break-point
    which will give you an idea of what is happening at runtime while creating billing document in debugging mode.
    Hope this helps.
    Regards,
    Amit

    I have an older version of Firefox 3.6.6 I believe I am having an issue with one of the websites I sign into. Is there any way to update to the newest version. Without losing all my bookmarks and saved pass words?

    Hello johngervais, the latest firefox version is 26.0 (today 4 Jan 2014).
    note that [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-no-longer-works-some-versions-windows-xp Firefox no longer works with some versions of Windows XP], if you have '''xp with sp2 and above''' you can update to latest version, see : [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/26.0/system-requirements/ Firefox 26 System Requirements]
    if you are able to update to latest version then see : [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/common-questions-after-upgrading-firefox-36 Common questions after upgrading from Firefox 3.6]
    see also : [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-just-updated-why-it-asking-me-update-again Firefox just updated - why is it asking me to update again?]

  • Any way to add a link FROM HomePage TO iWeb?

    Any way to add a link FROM HomePage TO iWeb? The instruction I found in Help only discussed adding a link from iWeb to HomePage. Since most of my family already accesses my HomePage, I'd like to be able to add a link to the iWeb pages
    This is the only instruction I've been able to find in connection with this topic: "If you’ve previously published webpages using HomePage, those pages are still available at http://homepage.mac.com/YourMemberName. Websites you create in iWeb are available at http://web.mac.com/YourMemberName/iweb/SiteName. If you’ve created webpages using the .Mac HomePage feature, you can put a link to your old homepage on the first page of your new iWeb site. On your iDisk, your HomePage sites are stored in the Sites folder. Your iWeb sites are in the Web folder."
    Thanks
        I use both my Mac and my Dell

    I'll try this, but why in the world should it be so complex? I'll let you know if it works. but how do we tell Apple/Mac that this shouldn't be rocket science, but rather something that's done with the click of a button. They're both .mac software products. Why can't they talk to each other?

    You could with more RAM & enough fre Disk s[ace update to 10.6, 10.7, 10.8, or the free 10.9, but first you need get 10.6 to go further, install it & update to 10.6.8 so you have the App Store to buy & download the huge 10.7, 10.8, or 10.9 Installer.
    Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
    General requirements
       * Mac computer with an Intel processor

  • Any way to update additional fields for SDLS with equipment at serial no cr

    Dear all,
    In the serializing procedure SDLS in the serial no profile
    there is an option to create equipment alongwith serial no
    creation. Currently it is updating only customer no into the
    equipment master .
    Is there any way to update additional fields into the equipment
    master at the time of serial no capture ?
    regards
    Magi

    I think basically the answer is no, and even if you could I don't think it would help you much. A virtual machine error is exactly that, an error in the VM, not your code. The only thing I can suggest is that, if you want to see if your app is falling over in the same place every time, you use something like log4j.

    is one by one the only way to update?

    Unfortunately, the team hasn't added an Update All feature. I believe this is planned for the February release.
    If you have your folders and files set up properly with a sidecar.xml file, consider deleting and re-creating the folio.

  • Any way to update PO document through DTW without using "Doc Entry"

    Dear all,
    Just have a question.
    I need to use DTW to update existing PO document. I realized that I have to have Doc Entry to be entered in the DTW template.
    Is there any way to update PO document through DTW without using that field, "Doc Entry"?
    thanks
    Tony

    Tony,
    A similar situation related to Bank files was resolved with one of my clients on the following way...
    The file from the Vendor can be an any order or format on the Excel.  Till the time it is consistant it should work fine..
    We created a Job in SQL Server to read this Excel file and to use the DocNum to get the DocEntry from SAP PO and output another excel file which is exactly the template format for PO Update.
    This may even not be required in your case.....
    You can get this done through an Excel Macro....which will connect to the database and using the DocNum get the DocEntry and update the Excel....
    This is 100% achievable and a better solution for regular use

    Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu and check the processor.
    If it's a G4, buy a retail Mac OS X 10.5 DVD from a source such as Amazon or eBay; Apple still might have copies in stock if you phone them.
    If it's an Intel Mac, buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store.

  • Place linked, any way to update several layers at once when changing location of source files? (i.e. moving source folder to different location/computer)

    I have a PS file whic I wanna use as template for several works. I've got several layers containing external images which have been "placed linked" and which are organised in a single folder in my computer. I believe the links are saved as absolute therefore if I copy the PSD file and the source images folder into a different computer (or even if I move the source folder to a different location in the same computer) all smart objects have to be relinked one by one!!! any way to do it all at once (as I guess it is the case in Premiere and AE) assuming they're all in the same folder???
    Also similar question when renaming all source images, any way PS can link to specific file and keep the link even if a name change happens?
    If possible it'd be a huge time saver!
    Thanks

    anyone any help? Thx!
