Dear Tomaž, thanks a lot for the explanation. Indeed, 90° rotations will be the first step which is enough for most use cases. For the skewed-scans-use-case I will continue to use an external tool (Gimp) to do this. The internal work-around to rotate in Draw and cut&paste to Writer usually leads to low quality graphics, unfortunately. To understand the difficulty of any-degree-rotations better: Is this then the aforementioned limitation in the drawing layer (which the Aw080 child workspace tries to solve) which makes these transformations difficult or is there a completely different problem? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/87220 Title: [Upstream] Wishlist: Add rotation of images to writer Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite: In Progress Status in The OpenOffice.org Suite: Unknown Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Status in “openoffice.org” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: Binary package hint: openoffice.org Currently when a picture is imported, it is impossible to rotate it. 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.
