Sidebar -> Properties -> Image deck .. there is a transparency setting However this seems to exclusive for sidebar? Image -> Properties doesn't have it (only area transparency) Format -> Image -> Color dialog doesn't have it Actual Results: Transparency is exclusive setting Expected Results: The sidebar is an addition (as far I understand) so you should be able to work without Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: Version: 7.3.0.0.alpha1+ (x64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 73334560b2dd2d60ac58d2cc2b1a5295490b03e1 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 6.3 Build 9600; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: nl-NL (nl_NL); UI: en-US Calc: CL

(In reply to Telesto from comment #0) > Expected Results: > The sidebar is an addition (as far I understand) so you should be able to > work without I believe the non-sidebar access to this setting is "Image" toolbar (enabled when you select the image), "Transparency" widget/button (hidden in my case, need to be explicitly enabled). But I agree that there should be a way to access it from "Format - Image - Properties..." menu or "Properties..." context menu (they both open the same dialog) as well.
Confirmed, seems like the Transparency control belongs in the Image -> Properties dialog -> Image tab. Not to be confused with the Transparency that is present but applied as an area. Like the colorization controls of the uno:ColorSettings bug 143761, the transparency control of the uno:GrafTransparence belongs on the Image tab of the Image properties dialog.

In particular the colorization is not a property of the image. So why not understand colorization and transparency as kind of a filter, which shouldn't be on the properties dialog then.

By that logic, Flip (vertical & horizontal) or Rotate would not belong on the Image tab of the properties dialog either--so no. Instead suggest that since the Transparency spinbox widget (uno:GrafTransparence) *can not* be placed on a menu (either Format -> Image, or Format -> Image -> Filters) it is necessary to place it on a dialog. Unlike the other image filters. There is room on the Image tab of the Image Properties... dialog, and adding the Transparency property (admittedly a filter) but also the button for the Color TB (uno:ColorSettings) would restore some consistency in handling images. Any addition to the Image properties -> Image tab is already available from the Image content panel of the SB properties deck. Simple and consistent.
The topic was on the agenda but didn't receive further comments. We have different views on how many functions the sidebar should provide. One is to keep it clean and simple with only the most frequently used functions (primary workflow supposes to use dialogs) vs. convenience for users who know and use advanced functions.
The sidebar discussion is a bit out of place here. My take about transparency is that we should aim for only one place to set transparency whether image or area.
In this version of LibreOffice: Version: 24.2.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 486ae5db6987411d5e394de94b2b077099d03856 CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 22621; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: fr-FR (fr_FR); UI: en-US Calc: threaded The transparency option is available in the sidebar (properties menu), in the top menu (format > image > properties), and in the click-right menu (properties). But, when I write something in the document, and then put the image through, the only way to see the text below the image by transparency is when I change the transparency level of the image in the sidebar. It doesn't work with the transparency level in the top menu (format > image > properties) or with the option of transparency in the click-right menu (properties). So, the transparency of the image (in the sidebar) and the transparency of area transparency mode are different options. In conclusion, there is not only one place to set transparency whether image or area. That is why the bug is still present.
