--- Comment #1 from V Stuart Foote <[email protected]> ---
Jay, *,

Sorry, but this is an import filter interoperability issue for (admittedly
needed) better handling Microsoft color mappings, gradients and word art on
import to corresponding LibreOffice ODF format.

The issue is not a problem with native LibreOffice color handling, it is not a
bug--rather an enhancement--and is certainly not critical as there are no
substantive issues when creating original content in LibreOffice ODF.

The original document attachment 83059 is a MS Office 2007 generated .pptx in
ECMA-376 XML, not even OfficeOpen XML, and frankly there are more substantive
issues with its import filter layout result than loss of color mapping of bug
84205 during round trip.

Believe there can be similar issues of dealing with color mappings inside SVG,
EMF+, WMF, EPS, any of the numerous raster formats, or even other functional
ODF generators--but those also are handled with filters--both import or export.

As you suggest, the structure of import filters to handle custom color mappings
for document elements probably should be improved. How to do that is better
left to a motivated developer.

Stuart
