I have run into a problem where using remote images is not behaving correctly. Regardless of what I do if I change an image it updates in the image well and shows up correctly in the browser, but it is never updated in the editor.
I have been forced to switch to a local image in order to see what I’m doing in the editor with images.
Seems like updating a remote image should immediately update it in the editor.
Are there still unresolved issues with remote resources?
I need to know so I don’t go to all the trouble of setting them up, ony to have them not behave correctly.
I’ve not tested this myself yet, but just out of curiosty, does a restart or switching to another page (and back again) update the images in the editor?
I couldn’t replicate that here, I used a couple of different Unsplash URLs as my remote images, and they all loaded (and updated) correctly in Elements.
Could you share a project with this issue, or the URLs to the images not working?
You can add a remote resource by right-clicking on the Resources panel and choosing “Add Remote Resource”. You can then enter a URL to an image.
Once the remote resource is in your Resources you can use it as you would any other resources.
Note: this image is not managed by Elements, so you can’t do things like resize the image from within Elements.
I’ll try to replicate it in a smaller project than the one I’m working in. Unfortunately, because I had replaced the resource based image with a local one, I cannot replicate it. But I will do some more testing as I’m sure I can locate more that had this problem.
