Bug ID: 147167 Summary: Dragging a JPG from Firefox to Writer, the image is saved inside ODT as BMP Product: LibreOffice Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: medium Component: Writer Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org Reporter: mikekagan...@hotmail.com Created attachment 178031 --> https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/attachment.cgi?id=178031&action=edit A sample JPEG from https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/62/Henry_Taube_-_HD.3F.005_%2811086397086%29.jpg/350px-Henry_Taube_-_HD.3F.005_%2811086397086%29.jpg 1. Open https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/62/Henry_Taube_-_HD.3F.005_%2811086397086%29.jpg/350px-Henry_Taube_-_HD.3F.005_%2811086397086%29.jpg in Firefox (I used 96.0.3 (64-bit) on Windows 10). 2. Drag the image from the browser into a Writer document. 3. Save the document as ODT. 4. Inspect the ODT (zip package) to see that the image is stored in /Pictures as a ~350 KB BMP, not ~38 KB JPEG. If you download the JPEG locally, and then drag it from Windows Explorer to Writer document, it will be stored as JPEG. This problem is mentioned on https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=71&t=86682 (see #13), so a longstanding problem. Possibly related to how FF works with Windows clipboard; in any case - even if the image format is unknown - it would possibly make sense to prefer PNG over BMP (using internal Compress, and defining compression level 9 without downsampling, gives smaller image and ODT file size, and also faster operation - possibly because of less disk IO). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
