I can open the image in the test document on Ubuntu 16.04 64-bit with Version:
5.4.4.2
Build ID: 1:5.4.4~rc2-0ubuntu0.16.04.1~lo1
CPU threads: 2; OS: Linux 4.4; UI render: default; VCL: gtk2; 
Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); Calc: group

I suppose that the OS might have included the required application for the data
object; or possibly I have installed something there that enables me now to
handle the "Package" packages (sorry for pun) :)

--- Comment #11 from QA Administrators  ---
** Please read this message in its entirety before responding **

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today,
LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed
bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this
bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the
details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in
getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice
from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information
from Help - About LibreOffice.

If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to
RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help
- About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular
meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a
REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your
bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from
http://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat:
https://kiwiirc.com/nextclient/irc.freenode.net/#libreoffice-qa

Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Warm Regards,
QA Team

The previous screenshot shows that the type of the object is "OLE Package
object" (translated from Russian).
This means that there must exist "OLE Package" server on system, that can treat
such packages.

Yes, on the Win 10 VM it used whatever comes with Windows and now on my Win 7
it uses my default viewer Irfanview.

Ok, but this, unfortunately, just hides the same reason. Windows OLE requires
specific OLE handler to be present on the system.

Is that actually "any associated image viewer"? It could be so; if so, it just
means that the OLE handler installed for this type of OLE actually extracts the
image and then calls system's viewer; while usually that is not the case: more
often, only specific app opens the OLE. Do you see different apps opening the
same embedding if you change system's image viewer?

--- Comment #6 from Michael Stahl  ---
LibreOffice documents can contain 2 different kinds of embedded objects:
* Windows native OLE embedded objects
* embedded objects for which LibreOffice has its own import filter

If LibreOffice doesn't have a filter for the object, it can only be opened on
Windows via native OLE.

Unfortunately the UI uses the words "Insert OLE object" for both types,
which is a bit confusing (see bug 82625).

for the embedded object in the attached document, it appears that
LO cannot detect the document type.

the "file" tool isn't doing any better:
> file word/embeddings/oleObject1.bin

read section info

No it is not. It is the Windows image viewer or any associated image viewer.
The file is a .jpg. I don't have MSO.

The OLEs open on Windows not because it's Windows, but because there are OLE
Servers installed on Windows. The "corresponding program" you mentioned in
comment 0 should be MS Office, isn't it?

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.

Please take a look to this thread on the AOo forum
https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7=1550
There is a nice explanation about OLE object.

In this case if works on windows and not in Linux, looks as the application of
the OLE object it's not installed on Linux. I think not a bug.
