MRU->ES: please evaluate this RFE. Enhancement: paste HTML content unlinked *** Issue 58672 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. *** *** Issue 24719 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. *** *** Issue 22413 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. *** The same problem occurs when images are copied from CHM files. Even if I pick a single image from a LOCAL CHM file, the clipboard contents are not pasted into a odt file. Is this implied/covered in this bug (in other words, do you treat contents of a CHM file also as "HTML"), or shall I raise another bug? OOo 2.4 Trouble increases when working with Internet through the proxy-server with autorization. The Login/Password pair is requested for each image. When I try unlink all inserted images all pictures are replaced with frames with labels "Link error". To paste images from Internet NOT LINKS is a vital necessity. CC me. Reassigned to the right owner. Alas, it's still "OOo Later" :( Is it a very big problem? Or maybe its not enough votes? Such behavior of OOo isn't obvious for new users... *** Issue 98443 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. *** paste HTML content unlinked paste HTML content unlinked Add CC this feature request would be a bless. copying and pasting images from web to documents is so fast and easy on MS Word... i just don't understand why it has to be so user unfriendly with OOo. Incredible. I have suffered with this for some time, having convinced my wife to try OpenOffice, and then trying to resolve why files she created with pasted graphics would lose them when she saved as Word to take them to another PC. Who would have guessed that the default was to save as links? Certainly not anyone who has used Word. Please, please change this so that the default is to embed graphics, or at least so that there is a master toggle that I can set up only once. Thanks! this issue is still a pain in the neck for many users *** Issue 107641 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. *** This issue is happening Ver4.1.0. Once the image is pasted as a link, and would send the file without noticing, You can not check in on another PC. When you paste the image please copy and paste as an image rather than a link. It is difficult to believe that this request is labelled "trivial" and dates back 10 years: this is a show stopper, it is so stupid it hurts. Granted, some users will prefer the current behaviour, i.e., when ones copy+paste a webpage, graphics are linked, not embedded into Writer. But it is not acceptable that for those users that prefer embedding, they have to manually, tediously select, EACH TIME (!), "break links"; wasting time and productivity. There should be an option, a box to tick to set the desired behaviour, exactly once. Then users can focus on doing something more productive than fiddling with the "edit" menu for each document they touch. I convinced a school to use OO - which is not easy since many teachers would love to use M$-Office - and we have the same issue due to a HTTP-Proxy. Using Firefox as browser, the kids have to log in the proxy. Then they drag a picture and get only a link (OO is not 'proxified' such that you needn't log in a second time into internet). So the kids get a link and OO is blocked for a minute until it gives up with resolving the link (and don't scroll your document then...). This is frustrating for the time spent and beeing there without picture. This makes OO unpopular und is not a good for convincing teachers/pupils to use OO. My vote: this (10 year old!) issue is NOT trivial and a pain for so many people :-( (In reply to Richard Moor from comment #21) > and we have the same issue due to a HTTP-Proxy Sorry, but this is a wrong issue. This don't talk about proxy but linked images instead of embedded |
