It might not be a bad idea to make embedding images a non-default option, given the weaknesses being exposed with the link-only strategy. Another solution might be to store within the file the path to that file's absolute location in the filesystem. That way, when a problem occurs, such as the file getting moved. That way, the app has the information needed to find the linked-in objects where the file had found them before; including, of course, the option and ability to ask the user to find the missing objects through the use of a file-loading dialog box. ________________________________________________________________________ _________________________ http://www.lulu.com/billsey -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
