The archive function makes just one big directory with all objects in one place. It doesn't care about original sub-directories recursively, and it doesn't care about other objects not (yet) used in the original place. Only those pictures actually used in the document are copied, and I have to create a directory beforehand for the data to be stored in to avoid messing up the current folder. IMHO, a much wiser attempt would be to create a tar archive conserving the directory structure UNDER the original .sla, merely copying everything from OTHER places (perhaps into a special sub-directory named accordingly), and asking the user if all original contents shall be copied from the sub-directories or only the objects actually used. Some of the users make a picture archive holding all pictures for all projects in one place. For my own part, I prefer making a sub-directory with the pictures for each project, but that makes sense only for those projects with merely a few pictures. Otherwise, you copy the same pictures again and again, and it eats unnecessary space. On the other hand, I have found that for such projects, the pictures sometimes change a bit (or: are worked over from time to time), so it's good to have a new copy for each new document. After all, everything depends on the workflow. Regards Rolf
