    Available in 30.8.54 Beta build.

    Choose 'Auto find missing links from this folder' in the relink dialog's Replace dropdown when relinking a missing image. Illustrator scans the document and silently relinks every other missing link whose file name matches a file in the same folder, including all instances of the same image.

    I am extremely disappointed and frustrated with the current state of Adobe Illustrator when it comes to dealing with "Missing links/files".
    I would like to request a feature for Adobe Illustrator regarding the issue of "Missing links/files". Unlike other Adobe applications such as After Effects or Premiere Pro, Illustrator lacks the capability to automatically locate missing files based on their location.

    This can be frustrating and time-consuming, especially when dealing with numerous files while on a tight DEADLINES. Implementing a similar feature in Illustrator would greatly enhance productivity and alleviate the annoyance and frustration associated with manually searching for each individual file. I kindly request that Adobe consider implementing this feature to improve the user experience. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

    Auto RELINK missing files just like the feature on After Effects, Once you locate the right path then it will automatically find the rest, SO IT WILL BE A TIME SAVER especially if you moved files and have BROKEN MISSING files of 150 images plus..

    VERY FRUSTRATING TO LOCATE ONE BY ONE MISSING LINKS in ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
