Certainly, but the problem is when the command is implicit in the action, such as Drag-and-Drop. Which should we choose?
With out thinking about users and workflows, I would like to see:
- some on canvas indication of whether an image is linked or embeded.
just something, perhaps a little icon. 2) a simple way of converting an image between the two states. I would like a context menu, but others might have better ideas. 3) a dialog listing all images, their properties and their linkedness or embededness. the dialog should also allow switching the location of the images.
I don't think these things solve the problem of choosing suitable defaults, but they might make the problem even more apparent and supply another way of dealing with it.
Exactly (and what I want to get collected in the Wiki page on this).
Given your point #3 there, I think it starts to be clear that this does not only apply to linked images, but also to external CSS files, Palette files, included SVG bits, etc.
