Bug ID: 97441
Summary: Consider converting images out of .wmf format when
documents converted from doc to docx
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
LibreOffice Writer seems to retain embedded images in .wmf format by default
when going from .doc to .docx. However, libwmf is unmaintained these days,
leading to issue opening them in imagemagick, and often necessitating a second
LibreOffice call to convert the .wmf images (leading to listener headaches,
because LibreOffice's code base appears not to use libwmf and actually works,
albeit with a lot more overhead than imagemagick) when trying to script this
all headlessly.
I'm not sure if it technically violates the .docx standard but it might not be
a bad idea to just transform them all to .png by default when the document
itself is converted in order to avoid this.
