Thanks for the information.

Looking at the other thread, I agree that this is inconsistent behavior, from a version control viewpoint then ideally the reference data should also be roundtripped in the same way as the model data.

With regards the images (specifically) then supporting external  images (with relative paths) from within the model could be a useful alternative.

Bearing in mind that we've just started using EA, so all this might be down to in-experience...

The main concern relates to model integrity.

When a model is placed under CVS and import into an EMPTY project by a second user (checking out the XML from CVS) we noticed that any images in the original model are lost (because they are not exported into the XML)

Also any links between model components can be broken (and converted to text entries).

Both issues have be acknowleded by Sparxs, and we have workarounds, but it does raise questions...

Having been through the documentation, and this forum,  I suspsect that the solution is to use a shared database for the model and CVS for the version control; but the immediate implication of this is again model integrity and how good  EA is at keeping the two model versions "in step"?

Obviously this solution is just a guess on my part, so if you have "real world" experience and any hints or tips I'd be interested to hear them...

I undrstand how EA Security setting can control access to the model, but what about version control.

Has anyone tried using CVS for this? EA seems to have "issues" with CVS, so is there another/better way?

ok but where is ea.gif _stored_ ?

You need to be able to replace the file name in the template and add a new image, that can be used in the generated documents...
