[Inkscape-devel] Re: [Inkscape-user] Embedding raster images

This sounds like a great idea. You should file a new feature request here: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=93438&atid=604309

Is there any way to embed pictures (png, others) into svg files? Now -as I know- it makes only a link in svg files, so it is hard job to manage all files for one svg.

AFAIK, SVG standard itself allows embedding images and fonts inside. It's all about encoding the file data (with base64 as I remember) and placing it inside the SVG file, and then referring to this data instead of a file, so I think someday our great Inkscape guys will make this possbile ;-)
