Fernand, Thanks. LibreOffice applies a limit (paragraph or frame width) to the loaded image (this doesn't modify the quality of the picture), and it has a PDF option to resize all pictures (eg. 96 DPI for web/monitors, 300 DPI for printing). Could you specify your request? If I right understand, it would be fine to add a new general "treat as ... ppi" option for the loaded pictures, because this could simplify the image resizing (eg. an UI equivalent of the following shell script: mkdir output; for i in *.jpg; do convert -units PixelsPerInch -density 300 $i output/$i; done)? For pictures with high resolution (digital photos) this would be not enough, regarding the first limitation (but if you click on the Original size button, LibreOffice will set the resolution/size specified in the image file). You are right, we need a more comfortable picture handling in Writer, eg. it would be fine to use the new visual cropping (Scissors icon) of Draw in Writer, too.
