------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sat Feb 4 02:35:11 -0800 2006 ------- Hi, the openoffice document types are actually a directory tree of several files (mostly XML), put in a zip archive, thus saving up to 90% of storage space and keeping things packed together. However, this format is extremely unfriendly to revision control systems. If I want to store a document or a presentation into an revision control system such as CVS or Subversion, the document is treated as a simple binary. If I have a document with pictures etc. of 8 MByte, and change just a single character in the text (typo...), this wastes another 8 MByte of storage. It would be desirable to have a different file-format, which is not that highly compressed, but better to handle for revision control. What about this: Leave it as it is, but allow to not use the ZIP archive, but store it in a real directory. Allow to store into directories and to read from it. regards Hadmut --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
