Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 26281
Better place for picture cropping needed
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:41:39 UTC
At first glance there doesn't seem to be any way to crop graphics inserted in the presentation. There's no 'Crop' option in any of the obvious places, the context menu, in the 'Position and Size' dialog, nor in the menus (the order roughly corresponds to the places one (I) looks first.) The tiny crop icon in the image toolbar is too easy to overlook as the rest of the items in the toolbar are mostly useless, at least for me.
Changed Summary.
Reassigned to Bettina.

[dpizzica 6/12/08] I retested the ease of finding the crop tool in Impress versions 2.0.4 and 3.0 Beta. In both I was able to find the icon for the crop tool and utilize it. I find that the implementation of the crop tool in the 3.0 Beta version to be a significant improvement upon its predecessor (thus certainly improved from 1.1 when this was reported). I feel that the user can now find the “Crop Picture…” option in all of the logical places (See tested scenarios). After concluding my tests, it is my recommendation that this issue be closed. I have attached a document featuring details and steps for the scenarios that I tested for. Scenario 1: What icons are in the toolbars at the top? Scenario 2: What if the toolbar did not appear by default? Scenario 3: Does the “Position and Size” menu offer cropping? Scenario 4: Is Crop Picture an option in one of the dropdown menu options?
