In the Links panel, select 10_g.psd, and then click the Go To Link button ( ).
The graphic becomes selected and centered on the screen. This is a quick way to
find a graphic in a document when you know its filename.
These techniques for identifying and locating linked graphics are useful throughout
this lesson and whenever you work with a large number of imported files.
Viewing information about linked files
The Links panel makes it easy to work with linked graphics and text files and to display
additional information about linked files.
Tip
You can detach the Links panel from its group of panels by dragging its
tab. Once you've detached the panel, you can resize it by dragging its left
or right edge, the bottom edge, or its lower-right or lower-left corner.
1.
Make sure that the graphic named 10_g.psd is selected in the Links panel. If you
cannot see the names of all the linked files without scrolling, drag the horizontal
divider bar in the Links panel downward to enlarge the top half of the panel so that
all the links are visible. The Link Info section at the bottom half of the panel dis-
plays information about the selected link.
2.
Click the Select Next Link In The List triangle ( ) to view information about the
following file in the Links panel list, 10_f.pdf. You can quickly examine all the
links in the list this way. Currently, every link displays an alert icon ( ) in the
Status column. This icon indicates a linking problem, which you'll address later.
After you've examined the link information for various images, choose Edit >
Deselect All, and then click the Show/Hide Link Information button ( ) above
Link Info to hide the Link Info section.
By default, files are sorted in the Links panel by page number. You can sort the file
list in different ways.
3.
Click the Name column heading in the Links panel. The panel now lists the links
in alphabetical order. Each time you click a column heading, the list toggles
between descending order and ascending order.
