------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Nov 1 18:46:08 +0000 2007 ------- Description: I have a presentation with 30 slides. Presentation created with each slide containing a link to an ~1MB jpg image. The purpose is to keep the resolution high for press purposes. Anyway, while the linked spreadsheet is slow, the size is only 113kB... expected result of course. But, now when I go "Edit->Links" and break all of them, then save, the file takes 5 minutes to save. A closer inspection of the now 260MB file after unzipping it shows all the JPG images are exported to 10MB png files. So, my original files which were about 35MB changed to 260MB and it becomes completely unbearable to work with. Competitor product after exporting linked file to PPT becomes about 37MB and is easily manipulated and worked on. So is this a bug? Well, maybe it's an enhancement which is a high priority. Not only is this an issue with this program but it also affects Draw. It seems crazy that 30MB of images changes to 260MB. the best png compression I could get on a sample file is converting from 1,126kB JPG to 8,525kB PNG using GIMP. So that is why they get big... There just has to be a better way. What about natively keeping the JPG format instead of using PNG? would that speed things up? It would certainly keep things smaller. Steps to reproduce: 1) Create a presentation 2) link a sample image using "Insert->Picture->From File" fine a 1MB JPG and link to it (check box "Link") 3) Duplicate this slide to about 30 (you don't need to use 30 separate files like in mine) 4) Save the file 5) Save a copy of the file 6) Open one of them, go : "Edit->Links" in "normal" view and break all the links. 7) Save (go for coffee, have a break, run a mile and come back) 8) look at file size. Examine "Pictures" subdirectory in xml file. Should be full of 10MB files. Try to do anything in the file... should be slooow. 9) Save again... (go for coffee...etc) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
