At insertion time (which doesn't mean it needs to actually convert the image at
that moment - only inform that it would be converted on save).

Yes. And that would mean that current LO may be configured into the state that
we expect to happe in the future - just changing the settings from current
defaults.

I am perfectly OK with using JPG by default; all options that I suggested
should be expert options, to not confuse most. But people may argue that they
would convert a lossy format to another lossy format, and have extra loss ...
well, that was my idea, which might not be worth that, so not married to that
option at all :)
