How to rename images already linked in documents?

Hi!
I’m wondering how I could do that:
renaming images and not breaking the links in the related documents? Is there a way to do this?
Didn’t find anything about this topic here or somewhere else, but it should be a rather common problem. E.g. when you do some SEO.

Hope, someone can give me a hint

Greetings, Susanne

If you’ve create links with <img> tags, there’s nothing you can do except go through and edit all the tags. Using the Rich Text editor’s image insertion button helps somewhat.

Modx is missing any type of image / document library functionality sadly - everything is flat files so manual editing is the only method at the moment. As Susan mentions, WYSIWYG editors can make this easier.

thanks to Susan for the fast answer! I suspected already that I have to do that manually :-(
Unfortunately I can choose between two "issue packs" in modx: with revo 2.1.1 the file browser does not work correctly. With revo 2.1.2 file browser works fine, but... save button loops, getResources does not work, frontpage neither... and thats just the little bit I tested yesterday before I put myself before TV screen, crying and eating chocolate cake... :-(
I’m really doubting about modx at the moment. It should be a tool for me and not a play-cry-ground.

That is why I use Evo.

too late for me! Did already the most of the work for a customers website on revo...

going back to eat more chocolate cake ;-)

Susanne

same here, i still use evo atm for 99% of my sites, rev is getting there but still some issues.

enjoy your meal

:’( :’( No cake for me; 15 kilos to go.

Oh, ok, now I know why you’re using modx evo ;-) no need for cake, hmm?
Wish you good luck for the weight loss and don’t forget: eating the right things is better than not enough eating.

*wink*

I came across this problem awhile ago - many of the articles/guides on my site reuse images which are used in other resources, and when one image is updated, all resources which use that image really need to be updated with the new filename/dimensions. I ended up creating a simple "imageUpdater" component/snippet to take care of this for me. It takes an "original src" and allows you to enter a new src, alt, class, and style. It also can "autodetect" dimensions, or allows you to enter specific height/width. It updates all matching <img> elements, based on the "original src". If you’re interested, I can post it here.
