Hello all,
The 'Apply to all' checkbox has been brought back in the Replace missing link dialogue.
'Apply to all' checkbox was removed when we introduced the 'Auto-relink' (search for missing links in this folder) functionality, as we though 'auto-relink' is going to take care of the 'replace all' workflow as well. But it didn't work as expected in few cases as pointed out by some of you.
Hence, with the latest release V29.2 (full roll out happens on Jan 9), we have decided to revert to the earlier experience whereby we are bringing back 'apply to all' checkbox and rolling back the 'auto-relink functionality.
Because of conflicts, both of these functionality cannot co-exist unless we make some significant changes to the relinking experience.
As we understand, 'replace all' was a important workflow for most of you, so we decided to quickly bring it back while working on the overall…

An error occurred while saving the comment Yes, that change would be sufficient. Still don't know why you took away the old way of doing it. Adobe seems to make frequent changes to stuff that actually works and that we actually use, while adding many new features nobody cares about.
An error occurred while saving the comment We've been posting complaints about this specific issue for MONTHS now, and Adobe has yet to address it. It is likely that they have no intention of restoring this functionality, because like everything Adobe, "we know best what our users want, we don't care what the users actually say they want."
An error occurred while saving the comment 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.
An error occurred while saving the comment 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.

It's clear that Adobe doesn't care. They've never cared. As long as they keep getting their monthly subscription money, all our complaints are being tossed aside like trash.
