Description Yousuf Philips (jay) (retired) 2016-07-10 08:23:02 UTC
Steps:
1) Open attachment 126147 [details]
2) Right-click on shape and click Area in context menu
3) Notice that the custom bitmap appears in the preview, but there isnt an entry in the bitmap presets list for the custom bitmap

Thinking about this more, it shouldnt appear in the presets list as it isnt a presets. @Heiko: Whats your take?

> It doesn't even appear in the preview in 5.3.0.1.

Please file a separate bug for that :D

Those bitmaps go into the gallery (as when done per drag 'n drop) and remain there forever. Not the best workflow anyway.

The problem still exists in Version: 6.2.0.0.alpha0+ (x64)

Now the first of the preset is selected and there is no change to alter anything, e.g. the type (original, stretch, tiled), for the existing bitmap filling.

For Bitmap (and Gradient, Hatch and Pattern) there should exists a selection "used in this document", similar as the "Document colors" for colors.

Comment 11 Stéphane Guillou (stragu) 2023-10-01 22:01:42 UTC
I reproduce with the sample file, but I can't reproduce from a new file... (tried with both ODT and DOCX)
Contrary to bug 125969 (for page/slide backgrounds), a newly imported image filling the shape area will persist in the collection after a save + reload.
Any idea why?

I really like this idea, to clarify the distinction between app-wide gallery and document-specific filles (with the option to "save to gallery" any document-specific fill, of course) – which would solve comment 4.
I think this matters especially for image fills, as I can imagine users inserting pictures in documents and wanting to make sure they don't end up in a gallery visible to other users.

Most of the discussion in this bug report is basically a duplicate of bug 125969.

But comment 7 (confirmed by comment 11) expands on this by suggesting a (separate) list that contains the in-use-fills for this particular document, which would be initially populated when the document is loaded.

So lets make that the focus of this enhancement report.
