Hmmm, ... unckeck option? IF a file get renamed, then the (OOo) package should ask, IF all metadata should be stripped away or kept in the new document. Just my suggestion. > One of the changes that will be introduced for metadata in ODF 1.2 is > the ability to have asynchronous metadata for an ODF document.

Interesting point, but I have some trouble understanding how this will work in practice, e.g. when renaming/moving the document. This poses some of the problems that are touched also in one of the issues I posted on the OOo Bugzilla (see Automatic Backup Repository, http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=80909). > While we enable that capability by a specified binding mechanism > (metadata manifest file) we do not specify how any particular > application would in fact implement that capability.

Indeed, I do not know, IF this feature needs to be specified inside the ODF-document (BUT some implementation details mentioned in the 'Automatic Backup Repository' might be well suited for mentioning here). And finally, I wish all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Sincerely, Leonard > Hope you are having a great holiday season! > > Patrick
