Bug ID: 154300
Summary: Pasting an image from Draw pastes it as Drawing object
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
1. Create a Draw document
2. Insert an image (e.g., a PNG) into it (Insert->Image)
3. Copy the inserted image to clipboard
4. Create a new Writer document
5. Paste from clipboard into the newly created Writer document
6. Open Navigator, and check in which category the inserted object appeared
7. In the same Writer document, use Insert->Image, and compare in which
category the image appears when inserted directly.
The object from step 5 appears in Navigator under Drawing objects category.
The object from step 7 appears in Navigator under Images category.
The problem here is that Drawing objects can't have a Frame style assigned. So
the images that needed some pre-processing in Draw (say, where Writer has no
needed functionality, like blurred shadow) would not have frame style, making
it more difficult to manage (say, assign a uniform anchoring/positioning),
requiring to be put inside an outer frame to achieve the goal (see
https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/how-to-keep-image-anchor-in-place/89384).
It would be nice if the objects coming from modules get the "simplest" (most
"native") type when inserted into other modules.
