Priority: medium
Bug ID: 58518
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Summary: FILEOPEN: Missing Error Message, if you Try to Insert
a Picture with “Insert > File...“
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Windows (All)
Reporter: harald-koes...@htp-tel.de
Hardware: Other
Whiteboard: BSA
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 3.6.4.3 release
Component: Writer
Product: LibreOffice
Problem description:
(1) Open new text document.
(2) “Insert > File...”. A Windows dialog is openend in order to choose a file
to be inserted.
(3) Choose a picture file with the file extension jpg or png. Then “OK” or
“Open”. The dialog closes and nothing is inserted. Expected: Display of an
error message: “The file 'filename.jpg' cannot be inserted, hence it is not a
text file.” or a similar message.
Furthermore the menu item “Insert > File...” suggests that this is a general
possibility in order to insert files and not only a possibility to insert text
files. So, if a user expects this (insert picture), he may be quite irritated,
if this is not possible. In order to avoid such an expectation, the menu item
should be changed to “Text file...” or “Text document...”. Then, in the
following Windows open dialog only files in text format, which can be inserted,
should be displayed. This would be equal if you insert a picture from a file
(Insert > Picture > From File...).
Additional Info: In Impress and Draw you can also insert a file with the same
menu item. If you try to insert a picture there, you get an error message.
Operating System: Windows 7
Version: 3.6.4.3 release
