Our organization has a use case where we have images stored in SDL that we publish with an XHTML view of our content.   We have a second use case where we filter out all images (using conditional filtering) to support a different view of the content.

The problem is that even when we know we are excluding all of the images, they still show in the baseline, we're still required to select an image resolution in the output format definition, and if a non-existant resolution for those images is selected the output is in Draft status (i.e., I can't create a dummy "No Images" resolution).

What I am looking for is the easiest path to producting this image-free output without any images being pulled into the resulting .zip file.   I know there's some control over updating a file to include/exclude filetypes in the final .zip package, but I'm wary of having to modify/redeploy that if we add a new image file type (we chose to go with a hosted environment so cannot deploy changes readily without assistance), or really just having to maintain a separate DITA transtype for this (I believe the transtype is what those packaging rules are tied to).

Hoping someone out there has had a similar use case and can suggest an easier path (ideally configuration driven) to what I'm looking for that I might not be aware of.

Thanks,
Scott
