Preventing duplicate images from Frame?

Post by blindamood »

When importing from Frame, if you have same image file referenced from multiple places, Flare creates a separate image file for each occurrence and increments the file number. For example, anywhere you reference button_save.tif, Flare creates button_save_1.tif, button_save_2.tif, and so on. Is there an import option that tells Flare NOT to do this, and instead point all links to the same file (button_save.tif)? This would save a ton of post-conversion cleanup.

Thanks!

Did you ever find a solution? We've been dealing with this for a while and it would be amazing to have a better alternative.

Hi techwriter14...sorry, no. At least it's just a one-time cleanup step, but it is fairly painstaking if you have a lot of shared images.
