Priority: medium
Bug ID: 73467
Assignee: [email protected]
Summary: A drag-n-drop image is linked or embedded, depending
on whether there is text also
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: All
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: Other
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 4.2.0.1 rc
Component: Writer
Product: LibreOffice
If I use drag-n-drop from a browser into odt file, the result is inconsistent:
* If I drag-n-drop image together with some text, the image is linked.
* If I drag-n-drop an image only, it is embedded!
Most web articles (esp tutorials) are illustrated with a lot of images. Often
they are formatted as a two-column table: Text in the left column, and image in
the right column.
If we drag-n-drop such pages, all images get linked.
There are four distinct problems:
1. Breaking the links is a separate manual operation.
2. If the user forgets to break the links, the articles loses all images when
he is offline.
3. When the links are broken, Writer fetches all images once again.
This means each image is fetched TWICE! (twice the download costs)
4. If the images files are large, then breaking the link takes a very long
time, and Writer remains frozen for a very long time on slow networks.
On the other hand, dragging each image separately is a tremendous task;
especially if the article has multiple images, or if it is formatted as a
table.
Desired: When an article is dragged-n-dropped from a web page, the images must
be automatically embedded (not linked)
