4. The switching between bundle and unbundled mode is non-reversible.
For example, when ../figures/figure.png is copied to
filename.lyxdir/figures/figure.png during bundling, it is not copied
back during unbundling. That is to say, if you work in unbundled mode
locally, send your document in bundled mode to your co-author, you can
not get your external files back when the document is sent back. In
another word, you have to use bundled mode if you intent to share your
file with others.
This discussion would also involve the words "session-based alternative".
And I should have added: I thought we had agreed that we will not
implement any form of reversibility. It's what leads to the really bad
security problems. So if Bo's latest implementation permits
reversibility, then it has the same sorts of security problems the old
one did. It might be a little harder to exploit them, I don't know, but
they will still be there waiting for someone with enough malicious
imagination to cause problems.
And yes, of course, if you want to share the file, then you should use
bundled mode. That's what it's for, right? In Bo's implementation: If
you want to share the file, then you should embed files into it. Same
situation. As I've just said, you had better not have reversibility in
*either* version.
