Priority: medium
Bug ID: 75252
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Summary: Allow to select a new default for Edit->Paste in
Edit->Paste Special
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Linux (All)
Reporter: fabian+deb...@greffrath.com
Hardware: Other
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 4.1.4.2 release
Component: UI
Product: LibreOffice
Dear LO devs,
I am currently preparing a Writer document in which I include a lot of graphics
from the Internet, e.g. from Wikipedia. For this I right-click on the graphic
in my Browser (Firefox/Iceweasel), select Copy and then right-click on the
target location in my Writer document and select Paste. By default, however,
and against my expectations, not the actual graphic gets inserted into the
document, but merely a hyperlink which references the graphic URL and loads it
over network on demand. Since the performance when rendering my document
suffers from this and I furthermore want to make sure the document is ligible
even without an internet conenction, I make a detour and select Edit->Paste
Special->Bitmap instead. Now, imagine having to do this for 100 graphics...
What I am missing is a check boy in the Paste Special window that allows to set
my next selection, i.e. Bitmap in my case, as the new default format for the
general Paste action *for this data type*. So my suggested work flow would be:
- Copy graphic in browser
- Edit->Paste Special in Writer
- Set target to Bitmap
- *Check "Select as the new default" box*
- Click OK
- Copy graphic in browser
- Edit->Paste
- Repeat...
Thank for your consideration!
- Fabian
