Great!

> Scott's question is why that doesn't happen with imported images too, and I think that would be a good addition. Most of my stacks use imported images to keep everything in a single file. The down side is that the stack would grow much larger because you'd have two copies of each image embedded.

Yes, teh same for imported images would be especially cool!
