Since this is the developer list, a quick terminology reminder. [1] As mentioned previously, I think it's very important for developers to maintain a metadata vs. PROPS distinction: http://www.abisource.com/mailinglists/abiword-dev/02/May/0384.html http://www.abisource.com/mailinglists/abiword-dev/02/May/0385.html We now have metadata (mostly user-visible, mostly for indexing purposes). Tomas and I claim that the file format *also* needs document-level PROPS which which work as defaults for lower-level PROPS. In short, metadata is what goes in the new dialog. PROPS don't. Paul [1] If this were the user list, I wouldn't quibble about this at all. As far as users are concerned, there *are* only one kind of file-level properties: the ones they see in the File Properties dialog. I just want to make sure that anyone doing development remembers the metadata vs. PROPS distinction. Nobody else needs to know or care.
