I haven't yet taken any edition of 2.4rc for a spin , so I am not in a position to comment. However, what you describe holds true for the "Insert -> Picture -> From File..." in 2.3.0.1.3 openSUSE edition and IMNSHO should be the way things should by default function for Windows users. | If I paste from the clipboard in either Impress or Writer all I get is | the local url string. Odd? I can successfully copy from Gimp and paste into both Writer and Impress with no links, but only if the image remains open in Gimp. Handling clipboard functions is a much more complex operation under Linux and I think the OOo developers may have developed some hybrid solutions outside of the system clipboard functions.
