I've just realised that this is probably a duplicate of bug #629153, which was raised almost two years ago! Would you agree that #629153 is a duplicate?

Clark, thank you for your update. I was wondering whether or not anything would happen to this problem. I know we're not the only people with it, as I have seen complaints elsewhere on the 'net. I have tested on the Alpha 12.10 Quantal (fully updated), and unfortunately it is still there.

Just popped in to check status. I haven't moved any closer to a real solution, unfortunately. I hadn't noticed that larger images would be cropped - sorry about that. I did vote on the bug, though.

Clark Everetts: Thank you for posting your work-around. I have just tested it with my WMF files. Unfortunately, as Libre Office crops larger WMF files, the "saved-as" pictures are also cropped, and I have no way around that. For me, the only work-around remains either running 10.04 in a virtual machine or booting into Windows. I clearly hear what you say about working to a deadline, as that affects me every month! You say you may have an inkling of the problem. I am crossing my fingers that you do find the problem -- good luck!

[Bug 1001570] Re: Regresson: Unable to import WMF images into GIMP, or convert them using wmf2xxx
I use both Ubuntu and OSX, found that right-clicking on the image in LibreOffice (in OSX) and selecting "Save Graphics" allows one to choose another format. I know, I know. What would be really useful is if I helped with a fix for *Ubuntu* - but I have a deadline, and needed a workaround today fast. Actually, the client sent me a bunch of .docx files with the wmf images inside, so I unzipped them and opened the /word/media/image*.wmf files in LibreOffice. When you open the wmfs this way, right-clicking yields a "Save as Picture" dialog, instead of "Save Graphics." I have an inkling of where the problem might be; after I've put out my fires, I'll look and see what turns up. After 19 months, a bit more time doesn't seem like it'll hurt that much. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1001570 Title: Regresson: Unable to import WMF images into GIMP, or convert them using wmf2xxx To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gimp/+bug/1001570/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
