Copy/paste missing link filenames - CS4 InD

[bischerboy]

Hi, in CS3 if I had a missing link I could simply go to the links palette, highlight and copy the name, click relink then when the dialogue box came up just paste in the file name for searching. This seems to have disappeared in CS4 and I can't see any way of copying the file name.

Anyone got any ideas without having to re-type the filename out to search? I don't want to have a massive links pallette so I can see the long file names we have, so the copy/paste solution was our best option previously.

Any help gratefully received, many thanks

...cs4 is a bit different these days with links, much improved, but as you have discovered the copy name ability is not there any more, as that dialog in CS3 is now completely part of the links palette...

...you need to right click a link, choose "copy full path", then paste in the OS search field...

...obviously you need to remove the text you don't want from that path after you have pasted into the search field...

Thanks Andrew,

found the old copy full path on the right click earlier but it's definitely a step backward as far as I can see.

Cheers for your reply
