Show last imported image

[grahamh43957228]

I think it is an El Capitan (OSX) problem, having just upgraded, that when importing an image into Indesign (any version), the last one imported no long is highlighted by a grey bar across it, so it makes it awkward, remembering what the last one was. Is there a fix for that?

Can you provide a screen shot of what you're talking about, please. Are you talking about having an image name highlighted in the Links panel?

The one on the left is how it appears presently with it set up with El Capitan OS – having just upgraded. However, when I was working in Mountain Lion (and other Mac OS’s) it would always show the last image imported by adding a red line through it, so I always knew to go to the next one etc by tabbing down or up on the keyboard. Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Your screen captures are not showing. You'll have to return to the forum, and use the editor to insert a screen shot. You can't email them.

Use the "Insert Image" icon at the top of the editor window.

The left example, after inserting an image I would go back to PLACE for the next one and the last image imported would be highlighted in red, as per the right example.

Your issue isn't with InDesign. And it's only indirectly to do with the OS X version

In the screen capture on the left, you're using Default Folder, a very good third party application which helps you remember recent folders (among other things). The reason I know is that I'm using it too (see screen capture below):

I'm using Sierra on my Mac, and, as you can see, it's having no problem highlighting the last placed file.

So, you either have a version of Default Folder incompatible with El Capitan (you should check), or you need to contact St. Clair Software for tech support.

Thank you, I would never have figured that out. Will ask them for help.
