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?

It would appear that pasted images are saved in PNG format, though inserted images use the original format. The system "should" be able to detect the proper file type without the extension. You can try adding the extension to see if it helps.

The offer is still open if you wish a second set of eyes to look at it.
