Comment 10 for bug 172162

Gez:
- I must admit I inspired myself from the "Edit>Links" window of OpenOffice.org I use to keep control of embedded images in .odf. I also remember that Adobe Premiere, when I tried it five years ago, had a smart recovery tool. These may have influenced me.

- I had a first look to your proposal, I think enhancing the property window is a good idea. It's better than my "Right-Click" paragraph. So I'm 100% with you on this point.

- I still think an Image manager window is needed. To have in one place the information of all my images. In fact when I look the canvas, I may see all my images (almost as ~suv said), but I can't know if they are embedded or linked relatively or absolutely. With the manager, I keep an eye on everything and can moreover decide to do operations on a large number of images very easily : the thumbnail tells me which image it is, and I don't have to strive to select it, contrary to the canvas, where it can sometime be very hard to select one particular image (if your layers are locked, or if your image is very transparent).
But we may wonder : why do we need to do such operations on multiple images ? Personally, it was when I had to :
* reorganize my folders (I want to be sure everything is relative)
* share my work (I want to be sure everything is embedded, or I want to be sure everything is relative)

- I also think that a better XML editor would be awesome. I can imagine filters, thumbnails could be nice too.

I'm looking forward to work with you on this specification
