Description sodki 2009-01-13 18:50:01 UTC 
If a user opens an image file (I've tried with JPG and PNG) with Draw and then
click on Save, OO.o will issue a warning that it's best to save in an OO.o
format, but also allows the user to save the image in the original format. If
the user chooses to save the image in the original format, then the original
file will become corrupt and there will be no way to recover it. This is _very_
dangerous because it represents loss of information for the user!

I can reproduce this on OO.o 3.0 on Windows, OO.o 2.4 on Ubuntu Linux and OO.o
2.2 in Windows. I cannot reproduce this on OO.o 3.0 on Gentoo Linux. On Gentoo,
when the users clicks on save, the file dialog appears and the user must choose
a supported format. This works very well.

Please give a step by step description:
how do you open the jpg file (File/open or inserting)?
Do you have it selected?
Do you use context menu (save as picture) or do you use File/Save as? Please
attach a corrupted file. Thanks in advance.
