Inserted images shows in the image properties dialog > Options > Name field "Image1", "Image2" and so on. If the user changes this name field text and then copies the image, the name will not be copied as well and the default name "Image1" is assigned to it. When copying the image, it's sometimes useful to NOT lost this name field text. It's the same image--why not the same name? My use case for example is: I write instructions with many safety signs that are reused in different places in the same document. The safety sign always is the same, only descriptive text is changing (e.g. "Warning: Electricity hazard during maintenance" and "Warning: Electricity hazard during installation"). After copying such an image, I've to go back to the image, copying the name and inserting and changing it in the new image. As nothing can have the same name, the copied image name musts be enhanced with a suffix or prefix like " - Copy1".
I confirm the described behaviour with Version: 7.1.0.0.alpha1+ (x64) Build ID: 10b23330a9655658e6d7ef1d008a3302a15e9629 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19042; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: en-GB Calc: threaded
Still present in Version: 7.4.3.1 (x64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 3793858a34d8fef5b92f8fee233f97766f05e281 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19045; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: en-GB Calc: CL
Additional informations: Cutting and pasting works.
Tested with: Version: 7.5.0.1 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 77cd3d7ad4445740a0c6cf977992dafd8ebad8df CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded Cut-and-paste keeps the name. Copy-and-paste appends a " Copy 1" to the existing name. (And increments the number on subsequent copies.) Can't find the fixing commit or corresponding bug just yet so marking as "works for me". (issue was already present in OOo 3.3)
(In reply to Stéphane Guillou (stragu) from comment #4) > Can't find the fixing commit or corresponding bug just yet so marking as > "works for me". What about the correspondig bug 151828?
(In reply to Dieter from comment #5) > What about the correspondig bug 151828? I think that fix only affected the cut-and-paste behaviour, not the copy-and-paste name increment, but Jim can confirm.
I didn't know about this bug report. Here is the link to the fix patch: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/142983
