    Default Re: Automatic image naming

    If you take a photo from a 12mp camera - 4000 x 3000 and say its about 6mb, you wouldn't want to use that in web without reducing the file size and resolution down to only what's needed, otherwise it would only take a few of them to make pages take a long time to download and/or make the website sluggish.

    In print the file size is less of an issue.

    This is also assuming nobody does anything with the image, i.e. crop it, stretch, apply filters in which we'd need to re-export it.

    There's probably some other technical issues I'm not aware about with keeping the photo separate from the project file.

    Yes, no, no...

    Just yesterday I helped someone with a print issue where the effective resolution of a 7 degree rotated image was over 2000dpi and couldn't figure out why on earth its output to a print pdf was crappy. Stuff happens for print images, too. And oh, just for fun, it exported to html like crap, too.

    You are putting up false arguments, almost like you didn't read anything I wrote. So I'll drop it, Rob.

    Well if your not going to explain why then fine, stuff it then.

    I did. So I'll go a little slower then.

    Just because a file is linked doesn't mean it cannot be resized in Xara applications. Same goes for any effects and/or alterations one may make. One can do these things in any/every application that has/uses linked files.

    At anytime, one can replace said image and any/all effects, size, rotation, filters, etc, being a property of the container frame, are applied to the replacement image. Assuming a future where Xara applications retain the name, that name is then used for the exported image when web output is used.

    If filename/path were configured to do so, this all is what WebPlus did.
