Hi Tim This will be in the next major release (2.2). Unfortunately we do not yet have a time scale for this or any of the Alpha or Beta (2.1.x) releases.

In particular, this is needed for media files. If we have a service that contains a large video (300-400Mb), saving this as a service results in a large file as the entire media file is stored in the service file. OpenLP "freezes" for a few minutes every time you save the service file as it is saving to a large file. While having songs and custom slides self contain makes a lot of sense, large media files only make sense if you are going to move that service file to another computer. We often have video files, often being used for 2-3 weeks and having the ability to not "self contain" the media would make it a lot easier to use. Currently we compile a service without any media files, and only add the media files live otherwise when a user makes a change, it appears things have frozen (and we end up with large service files that contain duplicate data already on the machine) - OpenLP 1.9.7, All OS's (currently running under Win 7 Pro) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/openlp/+bug/885150/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openlp-core Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openlp-core More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
