The picture shows the slide, insert media icons, opened file browser to select picture to insert and the same folder with picture files.

While preparing the slide, say I want to insert a picture. I click either the icon or go to Insert Menu - Insert - Picture. A new window opens to select the file to insert. Problems:
1. The file browser does not show any file. That is Libre Office Impress DOES NOT SEE ANY FILE OF ANY EXTENSION IN ANY FOLDER.
2. So, there is no question of inserting a picture.
3. It also does not allow direct PASTE the picture in the slide.

This is not a bug, you just don't have any files that are supported as an image file in that folder. All I see are pdf's, xcf, otp, odp and doc files in that folder from the image you show, none of these are supported as images in LO. XCF should probably be supported but from your description this is not a bug. If you navigate to a folder that has images (png, jpeg, etc...) they'll appear. If they do not, please provide another screenshot image and reopen this bug. Thanks for reporting

Thanks Joel. You are right. It is not a bug. I thought XCF is an open format like jpg. Sorry to waste your time.
