Patch: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/158254

Unfortunately, it hangs one of the UI tests and so it cannot be merged. I could
not figure out the problem because on my linux machine the problem does not
occur using a clang build.

  Component|Writer  |UI

--- Comment #14 from Petr Špaček  ---
This enhancement is not specific to Writer, it is equally applicable to Impress
which potentially uses images all the time.

I've changed component to UI. Apologies if this is a wrong move.

To strengthen this feature proposal with a use-case:
I have lots of charts generated by external software, and I need to present
them in Impress. When preparing presentation, I often need to
update/re-generate the images 10 slides down the road (e.g. fix typo in axis
descriptions). When images are linked I just re-run the generator and I'm done.
On the contrary, updating dozes on embedded images is very manual and error
prone.

I would like to add some information.

In LO 7.4.3.2 Windows 10 build the "link" checkbox is not only not remembering
last use scenario when inserting new link, but is also __always__ unchecked
even if You do:

1.Insert image, linked.
2.Select image properties
3.Make an attempt to change a linked file.

thous it not only does not remember last state, but does not follow the state
of "linked" status for a file You do change.

Or

1.Insert image, linked.
2.Select Edit->External links->Modify 

In second case it is unchecked and grayed-out while it should be "checked"
grayed out.

As far as I can remember (allow some doubts for my bad memory) LO running
previous versions on Windows XP had this checkbox in a correct state.

+1.

This is a real pain when you have a whole load of linked (rather than embedded)
images to add. It is all too easy to forget that the checkbox has reverted to
unticked, which means that you have to recheck the status of all your images.

Sorry, I just learned you can do "Edit|Links → select the desired items → break
links".

It's not a big problem, but I think the improvement is very clear--you rarely
alternate between linking and embedding figures. Remembering the last choice is
a good solution. Thank you in advance!
P.S. There could also be an option to both link and embed (like e.g. in MS
Word). If you don't "manually" update, the embedded figure stays, and you can
also send self-contained .odt files to your colleagues. And also an option to
convert from link to embedded (Ctrl-6 in Word).
P.S. I'm new to LO Writer (guess where I come from) and I'm loving it. Thank
you again.

I would like to see this request solved. Most time I use Insert as Link for
adding images into libreoffice writer. Allways I must set the hook on Inaert as
Link. 

This should be able to set as default.

Many thanks Rainer

This bug would save me time and disk space.

It's great how LibreOffice lets you link to images rather than embed them in
the ODT. It allows me to take ODTs that are many MBs and make them ~100 KB. It
is a pain to have to remember to do this for every images.

In fact, I'd prefer a version of LibreOffice that wouldn't let me embed images
and would always link. Many people might not, but I would prefer that model.

It would also be great to have a script I could run that would move all the
images out. We'll take it a step at a time.

I also arrived here via the link in the Ask LibreOffice article. I would also
like to see this enhancement.

I'm designing a specification template for use by many different individuals.
We want them to link rather than embed the figures in their specifications.
Even though we say this in our instructions, it's easy to forget when you're in
the middle of editing a large document. Having a way to set the default in our
document template would be a great help.

Thanks!

I was guided here from this QA over at Ask Libreoffice:
http://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/15363/how-do-i-link-inserted-images-by-default-in-writer/
.

I concur with Valdas. An option like this would be very helpful. Thank you,
Brenda, for reviewing and triaging this bug!

I think it might be a good idea to also implement a global setting that
controls all insertion methods (drag and drop, copy-paste, insert from file
dialog, and gallery).

For now instead of using the insert image from file dialog you might find it
faster to directly drag and drop the images into the document while holding
down CTRL+SHIFT. This automatically links the images (Thanks, @manj_k!).

Hi. I did look at this Insert - Picture - From File feature in 4.0.0.3.  I
see that the lower left hand corner has the option to check Link. I can see
how, if you're needing to insert a lot of images this way over a short span of
time, it would help if it defaulted to those settings. Or perhaps there could
be an option to Remember these settings. I will set the status of this to
NEW, and prioritize as an Enhancement. Thank you for the feedback!

Version: 4.0.0.3
Platform: Ubuntu 12.04 x64
