Had to edit 10+ PDFs
Then just did right click / replace resource

Very Nice 
(Takes longer to upload - than it does to replace files)

Awesome, I think it’s these new smaller features and polish that are really making the difference

I’m guessing this is a 2.0 Beta feature (?) Currently on 1.63. As I can’t seem to find it by right-clicking on anywhere Resources are used. Or in the Docs.
Just here to say how helpful that would be. Typically I iterate on images quite a bit during development. Either color matching or relative proportions of individuals in collections. This would save a lot of time!
Yes, that’s part of 2.0 and you can join the beta, just go to Preferences turn on “Check for Beta Updates” (it’s very stable)

Right click “Open with…” in Resources would also be greatly appreciated!!

Not going to happen. Apple are making things very hard for apps to work together, so unfortunately, that’s no longer something we can offer due to the newer macOS sandboxing restrictions

That is odd because one of Apple’s own apps does just this, in Photos, you can right-click on a photo, have it say “Open with…” and open it in say Affinity.

Yes, a sandboxed app can open a file its in control of in an external editor like Affinity for example. My iKonic app does exactly that, and its sandboxed in the Mac App Store. The only issue is that image editors like affinity do not save the file back to the origonal location when you save, in all the image editors I know, save equals save as the apps proprietary format not save the image back to the original location.

Just to clarify, we can add a menu option in Elements to open an image resource in another application. The problem isn’t opening the file, it’s saving it back and overwriting the original resource inside the project, as @Doobox mentioned.
The simplest workflow is:
- Select the resources you want to edit in Elements.
- Drag them to a folder in Finder.
- Edit them in your preferred app.
- Use the new Replace Resource option to add the updated versions back into the project.

I must have missed that one. Very cool!!

Works. Works well, too, but…
I kind of would still like a menu option for opening the resource in another app. Reduces the number of steps.
Replace Resource option is fantastic though!!
