Make it possible to make a package with the used files like Adobe Indesign

Registered by ubby

The files like images that you use in Inkscape are linked the same way as Adobe Indesign does so the Inkscape file doesn't get very big.
If you can make a package the same way as Adobe Indesign does you will always have your Inscape document complete because the used files are in the package.

Whiteboard

There was already another blueprint started by me here: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/inkscape/+spec/package-for-output
Mine if I close this one? Mine includes your options and it's more advanced in terms of output formats and configurations.
Maybe it is a option to combine my blueprint with your blueprint so my blueprint can be closed.

jazzynico, 2010-10-11 - There's already an SVG + media export format in the Save As dialog, which exports the linked bitmaps and the SVG in a compressed file. It's not far from your proposal, is it?

jazzynico, 2010-10-12 - Blueprint merged with https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/inkscape/+spec/package-for-output. Closing this one.
