Hi, I have actually already a working solution for the most common use case - 90 degree image rotation. The rotation is working on the image itself, so it does not need a drawing layer rewrite (AOO guy are working on this so we don't need to duplicate the effort). For jpeg images I use a lossless rotation which does not degrade the image quality, for PNG and GIF I just simple recompress the rotated image. Vector images are more complicated and I have not found a solution yet - maybe at first I will disable rotation for this types of images.
Additional to this I implemented metadata (Exif) extraction for JPEG - this way I detect the orientation of the image. I have integrated this into the import to automatically rotate the image (if the user wishes so). I will commit the changes during weekend into master so that others can try it out. @Cao Cuong Ngo: Can you please explain what kind of solution you had in mind?

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.
