on the current Illustrator, it's hard to recognize which images is unlinked
previous version(until 2021) Illustrator displays unlinked image as empty box. but current(later 2022) Illustrator changed its function. now it shows as rough resoluction image. sound like no problem but if you see image below you'll see how hard to recognize it.
detecting and inspeting images
CEP System has event that notices specific moment ,like when document is saved or switched. I use this event handler then I developed the Extension. it detects when document was saved or switched and it inspects images that is linked or unlinked automatically. if the Extension detects unlinked image, it alerts on host application.
Details
while opening the Extension, it detects unlinked images automatically. if you don't need it , just close the Extension. that all. it wont detect anything. other than that, the Extension displays placed image list. any unlinked image will be appeared with red label. but it won't show any detail of information. if you click the image list, it selects image on host appliction so you can find which image you see on panel easily.
When does the Extension detect
the Extension detects images when....
- document was saved
- document was switched(activated)
on any other case, Extension won't detect ot inspect image. even if you edit the documetn, the image list won't change. in this case, you need click the button load and update image data.
