Portable Project files

Sometimes i have wished for the ability to create portable projects. By this i mean a file format which the user can export to, that embeds all the project's 3rd party dependencies (samples, presets, instruments), so I can easily share a project I am working on with a friend. So my friend does not have to manually download stuff from the interwebs.

Of course there are some things to think about here:
- File size can get huge
- Crossplatforming of the embedded plugins
- Licensing of embedded plugins
- Plugins mean executable code which is being shipped to another persons computer. It may compromise that system's security and give opportunity for malicious use.

How do you see that? Would you want such a feature in the first place? How could the security problems be adressed?

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by mapping how LMMS currently stores projects and third-party dependencies, then investigate the proposed portable format alongside file-size, cross-platform plugin, licensing, and security constraints. Done would require an agreed design, not just a localized code change.
