Preferences - Links - Ask When Modified - not working

Question

When images are updated shouldn’t you get a dialog box in the program saying that a link had been modified?
This has now happened to me more then once. When images have been updated on the server I am getting no notice of this in Illustrator. The images are just being linked with no warning that they were modified. Thus if an image changed at all in position I won’t get a warning about this, unless I catch it. And if it is very minor, or if say a small part of the image was masked or removed I would not know.
I have attached a screen caption of how my settings are in Illustrator… I should be getting a dialog box asking me what to do.

Answer 1

The dialog has two functions in this case - a warning, and a choice.
The dialog for a color mode conversion could just be a warning without the choice.  The preference does mention being given the choice, but I think the key thing here is the warning.  It's not like we don't have a way to avoid the warning (by unchecking the preference).  The wording could be changed slightly in the Color Settings description to handle the possibility that you won't be asked - it's kind of silly to think the warning could be suppressed because it's not possible to ask the user to maintain the color numbers.
An example rewording:
Profile Mismatches - Ask When Pasting:  When enabled, you will be notified whenever color profile mismatches occur as colors are imported into a document (via pasting, drag-and-drop, etc.0), and (where appropriate) given the option to override the policy's default mismatch behavior.
