I can not reproduce this in Linux - it works fine if I copy/paste or drag&drop a Jpeg image. What is the type of image? Can you also check in "Compress Graphic.." dialog (in LO 4.1). I will try this tomorrow in Windows - maybe the problem is windows specific.

When you use a graphic filter the image becomes uncompressed - this is however not a format that is currently supported. When you later save the document, the image is compressed to PNG - this is why it works when you reload. I will add uncompressed and some other image formats in the next step. > 3.

One open item is also: - If Rotation is not possible, show a hint, even in the menu. I really do not know how to easily do that. Toolbars, menus are hardcoded - it is really hard to show any additional hints. The only way I can think of right now is to leave buttons and menu items enabled but show a dialog when it is not possible but I think this is lame. If anyone knows of an example where such hint is used in LO, then let me know. > Thanks again! > > Even with these workarounds, I consider the feature complete enough to pay > out the reward.

This makes the task of importing images/graphs into OpenOffice unneccessarily difficult and complex. Since OpenOffice already has a gazillion of options about images, it's quite amazing that it cannot rotate them.
