Does "Application of the OLE object it's not installed by default on Linux"
means OLE Object is a Windows only technology? So why does the feature is
available in LibreOffice for Linux? From what I've read here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object_Linking_and_Embedding
"If software that understands an OLE object is not available, the object is
usually replaced by a picture (bitmap representation of the object) or not
displayed at all"
The situation look familiar here, LibreOffice in Linux threat an OLE object in
a document created by MS Word as a "passive" picture (moreover just an icon)
rather an executable one and in other hand threat an OLE object embedded in a
document created by LibreOffice Writer itself as a blank selection square when
we click on it that's not displayed at all.
I don't have any advance experience in software development but if then this is
not a bug instead on a feature impartiality related to operating system, would
the developer consider to implement an API or whatever such as this one :
https://www.decalage.info/python/oletools or remove OLE Object Insert option
completely for Linux build because normal user would expect the OLE Object
Insert option is working normally.
