The drawbacks are 1. code complicity because the insets need to be changed, and 2. backward compatibility, 3. change of user's input. I mean, if a user craftes a beautiful directory structure, for example bib, figure_chap1, figure_chap2, pack it and send it to another machine. When he unpacks the file and sees changed insets and directory structure, will he be happy? I mean, why the KISS structure is the only rightful structure a user can have? There are millions of reasons a user wants his own structure. > Well, I've just given my opinion, that's all. Take it as such. I appreciate that. > > No. The edit button will not work.

The idea is that the insets know where the files are and tell others so, so the changes are limited to these insets. Cheers, Bo
