I'd prefer not to complicate things. Would think the default 'Open' import
filter handling should consistently just result in a Draw canvas sized to the
image's bounds--a bounding box, or image size in pixels, or image size in
measurement units. Reduce it to reasonable units if too far oversize--but
handle the opening at the image's aspect ratio -- minimal or no margins to
canvas edge. We'd always 'Open' into Draw.
The 'Insert' import filter should, where appropriate, resize and shrink the
image keeping aspect ration so as to fit within margins of a document page. I
don't think we need resize and expand to image--but if simpler in the filter to
do so then fine.
I would think doing these adjustments for all image formats, the filters would
cover common worklows with the simplest refactoring of the filters.
Reconfigurations for 'Insert' filters, or OLE embedding workflows, would
support directly creating new a document page (i.e. other than Draw module)
from the incoming image.
