------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun Sep 25 03:58:04 -0700 2005 ------- I have had considerable trouble in the past managing mailservers which get clogged by people exchanging m$ format files. The system manager at my present place of employment tells me he has the same problem to this day. One common problem is the exchanging of gigantic files, Sometimes Word Processor files or spreadsheets, but more commonly and extremely Presentations. Naieve users find a gigantic graphic, a photo or something, and drop it into place. They resize by stretching and save. Before long you have a wp file of 5Mbytes, or a presentation of 150Mbytes, largely wasted because the images are all scaled down to a size that does not use all this detail. I would like to propose a mechanism, automatic or manual [1], to re-sample graphics to a size appropriate for the size at which they are displayed. This is a feature no other office suite appears to have and which I think could represent a small but significant piece of incremental product innovation and provide some much-needed product differentiation. It would certainly make friends among system managers. [1] At home you would probably want a dialogue during file save "Do you want to resize embedded graphics to a more appropriate size?". At work some system managers may want a method of enforcing this as a policy without user intervention. Another possibility would be a dialogue when a graphic is de-selected after resizing. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
