    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.

    It is absurd that this still does not work on MacOS. On Windows this has been working fine for a decade now.... In Windows you can just select the first image and the rest will be automatically applied.

    I have a file with over 100 links, the only way to automatically link this is if I remove my whole folder structure and move EVERY file to a Links folder. I work with Windows and MacOS and it is really absurd that I have to link every file manually when I go work in MacOS... HOW is this still not a thing after a whole decade??

    This sucks a lot, there is literally a function in the beta that says Automatically link files within the folder. But that still does NOT work with subfolders, so there is literally no way to add organize files?? I am stuck on a links folder??

    Please fix this utter ***sh*t... It is the most useless broken software ever...
