If buttons like [embed latex class file] will be added, Document->Settings->Bundled Files makes more sense. It also makes sense to list currently embedded files there. How about 1. Tools->preference, change "Plain text" to "Save and Export", put curent settings to "Plain Text" group box, and add [ ] Save in bundled format by default [x] Bundle external dependencies by default The second option can be useful for people who want compression, but not bundling. 2. Document->Settings, add "Bunblded Files" panel [x] Save in bundled format (the same as Document->Save in bundled format) Currently Bundled files [ A list of bundled files, from ] [Update] [InsetGraphic, InsetExternalFiles etc ] [Unbundle all] [ ] Extra Bundled files [ A list of extra files ] [Browse] [ ] [Add layout File] [ ] [Add Class File] Cheers, Bo
