Copy packaged files but related are taken from the old location

Hello

I use CS5 on Windows 7.

I packed some InDesign files on my computer (let's call it the X drive). Then I take all of the folder that contains the document InDesign, the links folder and the folder of fonts and moved to another drive (let's cal it drive Q).

If I open the file on drive Q and look at the links Panel, he tells me all the links are from drive X, rather than pull them from the drive Q.

I know that I can use the option 'create a link to the folder' and tell him to use the links folder have the Q drive, but how come it does not only automatically?

Thank you

Katie

Even if you have packed the file, links are always absolute and point to the location where the package was created. If you COPY the package to a new location, and the old site is still accessible, ID will continue to use the old links. If you MOVE to a new location, and the links are no longer at the old location, then ID search the links folder in the folder of the package.
