Sorry guys I didn't fully understand the past features.
I have prepared a diagram to make it easier to understand again.
So this is how it works.
This is a big deal.
(But I feel like it could be scripted out...)

Morning Egor,
I tried Illustrator (Beta) 28.6 578
with the example calendar data I showed you yesterday.
It seems to be working well. It will take a little more time to scrutinize the deep directories, etc.

It might be a good idea to subdivide the thread into smaller threads for more concrete solutions.
who've only collected 6 VOTES, and whose comfortable with not being subjected to useless and intemperate remarks by someone who was drowning in receiving only 15 e-mails a day.

I tried simulating the functionality that users here are probably looking for using a script.

おそらくここのユーザーが求めているであろう機能をスクリプトでシミュレートしてみました。

Additional note:
“Relink / replace all instances of the same image at once”
https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/34174264

This is likely the functionality that is truly desired.
Instead of restoring the “Apply to All” checkbox, I believe there is a much higher possibility of implementing a more convenient and comprehensive new feature.

これが本当に望まれる機能でしょう。
「すべてを適用」チェックボックスを復活させるよりも、もっと便利で包括的な新機能を実装する可能性の方がはるかに高いと思います。

CSievers, the free Fast Relink script by Marat Shagiev I mention in a comment in the link below, allows to avoid repetitive operations TODAY. I am not saying it’s a final solution we should be happy with, but it works.

InDesign’s 'Relink all instances of an image' works for one image only, while the script allows to select any images. Was Apply to All able to do that? I think I never tried even.

@ajabon grinsmith in the previous thread showed an interesting example with relinking many different images to another folder with different files having same names... but I believe this IS possible with the current 'Search for missing links in this folder', nope? Should recheck.

Once again, I agree with Taryn. That is exactly the issue I have as well. I don't want to have to manually relink the same file multiple times.

BTW, there is this special dedicated request:
Relink / replace all instances of the same image at once
http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/34174264

It won’t allow to achieve all the things users were able to do with Apply to / Replace All, as I see it, but anyway.

The new "search for missing link" checkbox only works if you are looking for multiple different missing links in a folder. I am needing to replace all copies of a file with a new one. For instance I need 10 yard signs on a sheet, and I want to re-link the old artwork to the new artwork, this no longer works with the current version of Illustrator. We just need the "Apply to All" button back . I have went back to the last version of Illustrator because of this problem, we use this feature all the time and it severely slows down our workday

Adobe does not seem to intend to solve this problem.

Adobeはこの問題を解決するつもりがないようです。

The apply all is no longer appearing when the file opens and there are missing links in Adobe 28.5. This needs to be rectified.

Also the when we do relink to a missing file instead of finding all the links in that folder they have to be replaced individually or through the new "search folder for all links" feature instead of automatically like it used to.

"Relink missing files automatically" works fine if the file names are the same, but without the [Apply to all] checkbox, you can't do a bulk replace of multiple alias files.

Comigo aconteceu novamente!!! Favor Adobe Resolver!!!!

Same problem here. Numerous people complaining about this online, Adobe is silent. These software engineers have NO CLUE how real-world people use this software.

I use Illustrator to impose a single design multiple times on a page, and have templates set up for this. When setting up the template, I used a generic file (let's call it BIZCARD01.AI) and then deleted the file, so that every time I open the template it wants me to locate the file. I used to be able to click "Apply to All," find the new file I wanted (let's call it BIZCARD NEW.AI), and it would automatically place that new file multiple times on the page, per the template. We no longer have that option, see attached screenshot. The "Apply to All" option is missing.

And NO, the "new" option on the next dialog box for re-linking files in the folder DOES NOT WORK the same as the "Apply to All" option. I want to link files with DIFFERENT file names, not have Illustrator keep looking for the filenames it already knows.

Numerous people complaining about this issue online, and so far Adobe has done nothing, as usual.
