Description: I often need to know the original filename of an embedded image, e.g. to know which parameters and data I used for creating a diagram. It would be useful if this were available as a property after embedding an image file. Also see: https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/writer-how-to-show-the-embedded-images-path-and-filename/51858 Steps to Reproduce: 1. Embed an image file. 2. Try to get the original path and filename from within the Writer document. Actual Results: The original path and filename is lost. Expected Results: The original path and filename is shown as image property.

I would assume that this information would be a kind of privacy risk - needlessly disclosing filenames. For linked cases it's reasonable / unavoidable, but doing an extra work to store this info where it's not needed, and is not expected by wast majority, would be strange. On the other hand, if someone wants, they can always use the Format/Name, and put the filename (even with the path) there. IMO, WONTFIX. But let's ask UX team.
I understand your concerns. Thanks for pointing out Format/Name. My current workaround is to store the source path in Properties/Hyperlink/Name.
