> I have heard you, and I have addressed this problem in my implementation. Would an uncompressed zip file be more usable with vc? Is there some other way to "bundle" the files without zipping them?
That would be Enrico's direct embedding method, which is more difficult to implement and far from the spirit of ODF.
My only other request would be that embedding be disabled by default. It's undoubtedly useful for people who are exchanging files with co-workers, and they could enable it. But it'd be a pain for me to have to disable it every time. At the very least, there ought to be a preference "Disable embedding by default".
I think it is reasonable to have this feature disabled by default, because we do not want to keep several copies of the figures when we are working on a document. I guess, in the end, we can advertise this as a 'packing' feature. Cheers, Bo
