------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sat Jan 28 15:31:28 -0800 2006 ------- I think this needs some thought. There are obvious benefits, but also obvious problems. Every time an image is resized it gets degraded. What happens if the user changes his/her mind about how big the image needs to be on the page after resizing it? What if the user doesn't understand that the images need to be resized or how to do it? Let's try to make it automatic, but also easily reversible. Maybe something along these lines could be made to work. • If an image is more than a 100K (or a size definable in program options), a low resolution copy (96 dpi at the placed size) is automatically generated and embedded in the document for display purposes. This makes documents smaller, quicker to load and save, etc. • If the user resizes a placed image, a new low-resolution image is generated from the original linked image and embedded in the document. • If the linked image is missing when the document is loaded, a dialogue warns the user of this and asks if he/she wishes to browse to find it. It is then linked again from its new location. • At print time, or when generating a PDF file, the user is offered an option to use the high resolution images or the low resolution (96 dpi) embedded copies. • Maybe we also need an option to change the default dpi for embedded low-resolution images. Some might want maximum speed so 48 dpi thumbnails would be good enough, while others might want to place images at 300 dpi ready for printing. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
