Sorry to disappoint, but those aren’t arguments. Just fix the goddamn slowdowns instead of adding clutter. This is an *advanced* option that must not appear in main menus. It’s relegated to the Options dialog for a reason. And it’s a candidate for removal even there, IIRC. It actually should exist only in the Expert Configuration list. It’s simply against user experience, I won’t be surprised at all if a user gets confused because suddenly their app “broke” and refuses to load images (a basic feature), only to discover that they mistakenly enabled an option to break viewing. Frustration and bad press to come. The only valid use case I can think of for the “Disable Images” option is if you’re running LO through a VM or a thin client. And that’s not a use case of the typical home user, so why give it such prominence? Please don’t. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
