Hi again,

as far as I see, the support for all those Escher drawing stuff in HSSF
is kind of limited -- it seems that HSLF is far more complete.

The images I wanted to change in the first place are always contained
within a ShapeGroup, but the HSSF Escher Aggregate does not account for
that and simple does not load any group's children. I tried to change
that, with the result that even only loading and saving a workbook
(without any other changes than the Escher loader) results in Excel
complaining about a corrupted file.

The BiffViewer tells me that POI loses many of the shape's properties,
like even the Text of a simple Textbox.


I guess it is time to take that to the dev list. I've already created an
enhancement request
https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=51683 where I have
also attached my patch/hack attempt.


Thank you everyone for this great library and your support!,
