------- Additional comments from [email protected] Mon Jan 24 12:03:16 +0000 2011 ------- > In the new version (3.3, PC version) this is now sort of resolved Oh, you're right. I'm running 3.2 now, but either it is fixed or I was mistaken about it. There is no permanent "default" when using Insert-Picture-From File. It defaults to whichever option was last used. > Even if I press a modifier key (i.e CTRL) (Plus sign appears) they will always be embedded. On my (linux) system Ctrl-Shift-drag (not Ctrl-drag) links the picture in Writer or Calc - have you tried it? But it looks like there is a bug that is kind of the opposite of what you described: in Draw and Impress the picture is always linked, even though the link symbol is only shown when I use Ctrl-Shift-drag, (a + symbol is shown otherwise). There is also a very minor issue: Shift-drag behaves the same as dragging with Ctrl or no modifier, except the + icon is not shown. --------- Interesting: I notice the filesize is slightly smaller if a picture is dragged-and-dropped rather than inserted via the dialogue. This is because a blank white thumbnail is stored, instead of a thumbnail of the actual picture. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
