Dear Rainer, please reconsider your decision to mark this bug as WONTFIX. In my humble opinion, this is not acceptable given the history and given the demand for this feature.
The existence of an extension for a fundamental feature of a word processor (that's how it is perceived on the users' side) does not justify to close this bug. Would you close a bug entry as wontfix, if it was a bug that does not allow to type the character "z" and there was an extension enabling the user to type the character "z"? There is a real reason why this bug is ranked so high on the votes for enhancement wiki. The same bug has 12 CC in this bug report, 15 votes on the ODF-wiki and 211 votes in the Apache OpenOffice tracker! *My suggestion*: Armin and others extensively pointed it out that this bug is a result of a major drawing layer design issue. It is not a easy hack, but a hard hack. Please mark it as such and please help Armin LeGrand to get the Drawing Layer Aw080 done as fast as possible: http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Aw080_documentation *In my opinion, this is a very difficult task where the guys at Apache OpenOffice need the help and collaboration of the guys at LibreOffice!* -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/87220 Title: [Upstream] Wishlist: Add rotation of images to writer Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite: Confirmed Status in The OpenOffice.org Suite: Unknown Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Status in “openoffice.org” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: Binary package hint: openoffice.org Currently when a picture is imported, it is impossible to rotate it. This makes the task of importing images/graphs into OpenOffice unneccessarily difficult and complex. Since OpenOffice already has a gazillion of options about images, it's quite amazing that it cannot rotate them.
