Bug ID: 115287
Summary: Editing: after many, many, many years, Writer is still
not capable of inserting an image properly
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 5.4.4.2 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: m...@home.nl
Description:
In the headers of an image file is information about the size of the image (in
pixels), and the dpi setting for that image. With that information, it is very
simple to calculate the desired print size for the image (in inch/cm). How
difficult can it be. Very simple, very basic.
And yet, after many, many years, Writer is still not capable of extracting the
dpi information from the headers, and calculating the proper image size in
inch/cm. Instead it uses the dpi setting of the computer display, why I have no
idea. The result is that images appear in the wrong size in the document.
Strangely enough Writer is capable of scaling the image and making all kind of
graphic calculations, but I don't want that to happen!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just want Writer to use the image file as is, how difficult can it be.
This has been reported many times, and yet no one in developer community has
taken the trouble to fix this very simple problem.
I love LibreOffice, but if the developers don't take the time to resolve very
simple but very annoying bugs, then they should think about their priorities.
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create an image with (for instance) Photoshop Elements, make sure it has a
high dpi setting (300 dpi for instance).
2.Insert the image in a Writer document, and see that the image gets far to
big.
3.Try desperately to correct it, and give up.
Actual Results:
Image is inserted with the wrong size
Expected Results:
Image should be inserted as is, with the proper dpi setting as in the headers
of the image.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
