[Bug 885150] [NEW] Need non self contained service files
Public bug reported:
We need the ability to save "service files" that aren't self contained.
i.e. Instead of saving all the songs and slides in the service file
(.osz file) we instead save a reference to the songs/items that are in
the database.
In particular, this is needed for media files. If we have a service that
contains a large video (300-400Mb), saving this as a service results in
a large file as the entire media file is stored in the service file.
OpenLP "freezes" for a few minutes every time you save the service file
as it is saving to a large file. While having songs and custom slides
self contain makes a lot of sense, large media files only make sense if
you are going to move that service file to another computer. We often
have video files, often being used for 2-3 weeks and having the ability
to not "self contain" the media would make it a lot easier to use.
Currently we compile a service without any media files, and only add the
media files live otherwise when a user makes a change, it appears things
have frozen (and we end up with large service files that contain
duplicate data already on the machine)
- OpenLP 1.9.7, All OS's (currently running under Win 7 Pro)
