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.
Does it?
From my point of view all the problems _I_ envisioned seemed to be
solved with the anonymization/encryption approach.
It is possible. But I for one am not prepared to bet upon it.
