[Bf-committers] Challenges for distributed rendering

[Jonas Eschenburg]

Thanks for the hint, Sergey, I didn't know that operator!

Also, I learned that there are actually 'packed libraries'. Is there a 
way, from Python, to know whether a library object is a 'packed library'?

If I need to bundle those file types you mentioned alongside the library 
anyway, I would actually prefer to treat libraries the same way for 
consistency.

I think I found a viable solution for this, but stumbled over some 
unforseen issues with "mainfile_save_as" 
(https://developer.blender.org/T41328).
