--- Comment #17 from Danny <moondr...@gmail.com> ---
I got bitten by this when I used my laptop to display a presentation created on
my desktop (which has been updated to a newer version). The rather complex
lineart with text that I used was rendered unreadable.

Michael, the user visible bugs are:

1) I insert lineart because it is _required_ for my use. As a user of
libreoffice I do not care about implementations that cannot display it. If you
want to fix such cases, convert the svg to ODF drawings, or make it possible to
disable such compatibility features.
2) Filesize is unnecessarily increased by saving PNG in addition. Again, such
compatibility options belong in the separate "compatible" ODF format, or should
be activated by user-intervention.
3) this 'feature' as currently implemented breaks compatibility with older
versions of libreoffice and external tools (see previous comment). In the case
of LO-3.x, only the png will be shown and subsequently saved, and thus causes a
severe compatibility problem (the vector art is lost for ever and replaced by a
badly rendered png). 

Again, the point of vector art is to prevent having bitmaps in the file. I do
not like LO trying to second-guess my goals by doing such conversions behind my
back. 

Its like saving bad quality JPGs for every embedded PNG. Such things are nicely
available by right clicking the image where you can modify the compression
setting. Same could be done for SVG, but do not do it automatically!
