Impress bloats files by embedding unused bitmaps
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:34:44 UTC
If you try different bitmaps as page backgrounds, some of the bitmaps are embedded in the saved presentation or presentation template, though they are never used in the presentation nor in any of the styles. It's impossible to remove the bitmaps embedded - they never show anywhere, they are just saved. Sun Presentation Minimizer also doesn't remove them. The only way to have a smaller file is to start all over again and choose only one bitmap as a background. This is clearly a defect - unused elements shouldn't be saved. Attaching two versions of the same template: (1) the bloated one; (2) the normal one.

Created attachment 57220 [details] The same template (as seen in user interface) but not bloated
