Priority: medium
Bug ID: 74922
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Summary: FILEOPEN: When inserting images in Writer, the type of
the image anchor and linking/embedding is not
remembered
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: All
Reporter: rbruen...@spectruma.de
Hardware: Other
Whiteboard: BSA
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 4.1.5.1 rc
Component: UI
Product: LibreOffice
Problem description: When you insert an image into Writer using "Insert ->
Image -> From File" the image is always entered anchored to the paragraph. If
you prefer, for instance, having the image treated as a character, you always
have to remember to set this explicitly. You also have to always remember to
check the "Link" checkbox if you do not want to save a copy of the image on
disk in the document as well.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Choose "Insert -> Image -> From File" command
2. Select an image file
3. Check the Link checkbox if you only want to store a link
4. The image will be inserted with an anchor at the paragraph
5. Right click the image and invoke the properties dialogue
6. On the Type tab, select "As character", for instance, if you wish a
different behaviour
Current behavior:
You have to always remember to click the "Link" checkbox and/or to select the
anchoring for each and every image you are going to insert. This may be a minor
annoyance for the anchoring, but a rather big one if you accidentally forgot to
insert some files as a link and to find the respective files and correct your
fault.
Expected behavior:
The software should remember the last settings the user has chosen and use it
for all subsequent images inserted into a document. Both settings are typically
the same for all pictures in a document and in many cases, users prefer either
setting in all their documents.
Operating System: All
Version: 4.1.5.1 rc
