I'm not sure LO still uses the same types. In my experience copying from LO to AOO usually doesn't work that well (at least under Windows) +1 to change MIME types and keep the aliases.

MIME types for WMF/EMF
Hi While developing the patch for bug 112829, I saw that our clipboard formats for WMF and EMF are "application/x-openoffice-wmf;windows_formatname=\"Image WMF\"" and "application/x-openoffice-emf;windows_formatname=\"Image EMF\"". This leads to other applications being able to paste WMF and EMF from OpenOffice on Windows, where the clipboard format is generated from the "Image WMF" or "Image EMF" parameter, but being unable to paste on Linux/FreeBSD and probably macOS, where the clipboard format is that whole unusual string. In 2016, RFC 7093 (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7903) standardized WMF and EMF as image/wmf and image/emf, and these appear on IANA's list of official MIME types. Should we change our MIME types to those? Ideally we would use the MIME types supported by other applications. But at least "image/wmf" and "image/emf" have a chance of working on some of them, while the application-specific "application/x-openoffice-wmf" and ""application/x-openoffice-emf" never will. Should we change the MIME types to "image/wmf" and "image/emf"? We would presumably also keep aliases like "image/x-wmf" and "image/x-emf". Inkscape can paste "image/x-emf". Should we keep the existing MIME types as aliases too, so we can copy and paste to and from LibreOffice? Regards Damjan
