That is strange as here it does. I opened a jpg in gimp, cut and pasted it into a new Writer document. Saved the doc then closed Writer open the ODT with Archive Manager and the directory is there with the picture, in PNG format. This all done under Ubuntu and Go-oo v 3.2 will test with OOo 3.3RC6.

Is what I get from this that OOo indeed converts JPGs (and GIFs and PICTs?) into PNG as its native image state? That I should rename these mystery "Picture" folder image files with long number filenames with PNG extensions to render them right in viewers or re-pasting?

Hello,

Did a quick test:
- a cut and pasted picture doesn't seem to trigger a folder 'Pictures'
in the odt folder
- an inserted picture (Insert > Picture > From File) appears in the
'Pictures' folder in the odt zip
This would explain a lot with one of my frustrating hangups, like maybe why I can't get imbedded MOVs to cut their links and be standalone image files, no matter whether I use the insert menu or direct cut-paste. Might this be related to why images in RTF documents created in other WPs won't be rendered in OOo a'la "No QT decompressor available"? A image/mov insertion bug perhaps?
