Bug ID: 147167
Summary: Dragging a JPG from Firefox to Writer, the image is
saved inside ODT as BMP
Product: LibreOffice

OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED

A sample JPEG from
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/62/Henry_Taube_-_HD.3F.005_%2811086397086%29.jpg/350px-Henry_Taube_-_HD.3F.005_%2811086397086%29.jpg
1. Open
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/62/Henry_Taube_-_HD.3F.005_%2811086397086%29.jpg/350px-Henry_Taube_-_HD.3F.005_%2811086397086%29.jpg
in Firefox (I used 96.0.3 (64-bit) on Windows 10).
2. Drag the image from the browser into a Writer document.
3. Save the document as ODT.
4. Inspect the ODT (zip package) to see that the image is stored in /Pictures
as a ~350 KB BMP, not ~38 KB JPEG.
If you download the JPEG locally, and then drag it from Windows Explorer to
Writer document, it will be stored as JPEG.
This problem is mentioned on
https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=71&t=86682 (see #13), so
a longstanding problem. Possibly related to how FF works with Windows
clipboard; in any case - even if the image format is unknown - it would
possibly make sense to prefer PNG over BMP (using internal Compress, and
defining compression level 9 without downsampling, gives smaller image and ODT
file size, and also faster operation - possibly because of less disk IO).
