[211c]By dragging icons in from the Workspace Manager, you can associate any file created by any program with a Concurrence document. Files attached to topics or slides in this way can be opened in their own programs.
[223c]Attached files can be handled in a couple of ways. Image files, such as TIFF, EPS, and Adobe Illustrator files, may be displayed as either images or file type icons. Other types of files are usually displayed as file icons.
[417c]The topics in a document often represent ideas or data which are more fully developed in other applications (such as Diagram!
or Improv
). There are times when lines of text alone are not sufficient to express your thoughts effectively. For this reason, Concurrence allows you to attach files from other applications to your outlines and slides, providing a richer medium for organizing and communicating your ideas.
[232c]To attach a file to a topic or slide, simply drag the file's icon into a Concurrence window and let go. (You'll find file icons in the Workspace Manager, and in other applications like Mail, DataPhile
, and, of course, Concurrence.)
[230c]If you drag a file icon into an outline view window, it will be attached to the first selected, or target, topic. File icons dragged into a slide view are attached to the currently displayed slide, and rest where you release them.
[316c]Some attached files, including EPS, TIFF and Adobe Illustrator files, hold graphic images that Concurrence can display. With the Show As controls of the Attachments inspector, you can choose to display either the graphic content of such files, or their file icons. Read about the Attachments inspector in Chapter 25.
[255c]You can also bring EPS and TIFF images into slides by using the Cut, Copy, and Paste commands found on the Edit menus of most NeXTstep programs. Select an image in another program and choose Copy or Cut. Then click on a Concurrence slide and choose Paste.
[18c]Making Attachments
[253c]From an outline view, attachments can be dragged to any window that accepts icon drags, including those of the Workspace Manager, Mail and Concurrence. You can also double-click an attachment to open it, running the program that created it if necessary.
[165c]Attachments to slides can also be opened and dragged, but only from the icon well of the Attachments inspector. See Chapter 25 for more on the Attachments inspector.
[32c]Opening and Dragging Attachments
[149c]When you attach a file to a Concurrence document, you can either establish a link to that file, or copy its contents into your Concurrence document.
[298c]By default, files you drag into a Concurrence document are copied in. This copying operation is not actually performed until you next save the document. Until an attachment is copied (that is, until you next save your document), you can change its style from a copy to an absolute or relative link.
[283c]A link is a reference to a file outside of your document. A linked file does not actually become part of your document. If you move a linked file, Concurrence will no longer be able to find it. Instead of displaying a lost file's icon or image, it will show you the Broken Link icon.
[185c]Use the Reference controls of the Attachments inspector, described in Chapter 25, to choose between absolute and relative links, or to copy a linked file into your Concurrence document.
[169c]If you deselect Copy Dragged Files preference (described in Chapter 14, Info), Concurrence will create absolute links to files that you drag in, instead of copying them.
