I did not much think about an ideal design, but it should be easy to adapt the collection and passing around of the 'external files list' to such a design. Error handling (concerning files in the external and graphics inset) needs definitely some work too. > It seems to me that what you are describing is that Export should no > longer be thought of as a simple '1 file' to '1 file' conversion > process.

Yes and yes. > Just some thoughts. Thanks, I'll think about it. Georg
