Oct 12, 2012 at 22:56 comment added Sjoerd C. de Vries @murray If you'd keep the files along the notebook in the same directory you could use NotebookDirectory[] to address them. So, I'm not too sure about the advantages of my own solution. Yes, it means having to drag around only a single file instead of a directory, but is the latter so difficult?

Oct 12, 2012 at 21:00 comment added Sjoerd C. de Vries @P.Fonseca Added a default name for save. File size will be mainly caused by the inefficiency of Compress I assume. Not much you can do if you want to code binary files as ASCII. You could try if Base64 coding helps for compressed files.

Oct 11, 2012 at 21:19 comment added P. Fonseca Works fine! Please see my edit for a different interface approach. Also, the notebook file size gets roughly the double the size of the attached files. Is there something we can do about it? Is it possible for the save as to keep the original file name as default?
