That's a good idea. Can I just let the new package
("freeplane-flash-browser") put the file in
"/usr/share/freeplane-flash-browser/visorFreeplane.swf",
and then create a symlink from
/usr/share/freeplane/resources/flash/visorFreeplane.swf to 
/usr/share/freeplane-flash-browser/visorFreeplane.swf
in the freeplane package?
(it must be in /usr/share/freeplane/resources/... or in freeplaneeditor.jar)

--> @QA: is it ok to fix this with the upcoming 1.3.x release and leave
1.2.23-2 as is?

Thanks and Best Regards,
Felix
