OO3 Pro b8: saved attachment icons in package files

[Angus McIntyre]

I'm working on an OO3 document that contains multiple text file 
attachments. Each attachment is small - about 3K-5K in size.

Inspecting the contents of the '.oo3' package folder, however, I 
notice that for each file I attach, I get not only a copy of the file 
(which I expected, and which I want) but also a '.tiff' file. The 
'.tiff' appears to be simply a copy of the icon (at three sizes) for 
the particular document type that was attached. One is created for 
each attachment, even if all the attachments are of the same type.

This strikes me as inefficient, as it means that the package grows by 
about 32K for every attachment. Even in these days of big disks, 
that's wasteful.

Is this the correct behavior? Is there a way to change OO's behavior 
so that it either doesn't save icons, or does so slightly more 
efficiently (i.e. through use of aliases to prevent duplication)?

I realize that it may be too late in the day to change this before 
OO3 goes GM, but perhaps this could be released in the inevitable 
first bug-fix release.

Happy New Year to you all,

Angus
