Description James 2025-09-28 06:45:49 UTC
Hello,
I recently updated to the latest version of Libreoffice 25.8.1.1 and have found that in the Writer program, when I go to compress an image it no longer retains the compression option I had previously selected, like it used to. It now always defaults to a jpeg quality of 80, or png 6. Is there a way to make this remember the settings I use for the document? Thanks.

From what version do you remember the behavior, it's the same since it was implemented, default values are used.

First version with 'Compress option'

Since I began using LibreOffice, which is about two years ago, it has always remembered the value I chose in the image compression tool after setting the value when opening the document anew. Since the most recent update, the value is no longer remembered in the document, and I must re-enter it for each new image I add to the document. For example, I like to use JPEG quality with a value of 10, but each time I add a new image to the document and compress it with the tool, it defaults back to JPEG quality 80 instead of the value of 10 I had chosen with the previous image.

I tested with a lot of versions since 4.4, 5, 6, 7, 24.2, 24.8, 25.2 and all work the same.

So, in what version it was working for you?

Ref tdf#146929 it remembers to compression setting across the session for 7.4.0.0. Tested 7.6.5.2 and 25.2.5.2 and it keeps the last setting during the session.
Version 25.8.1.1 reverts to 80% compression every time.

Sounds like a regression based on the intention of the commit
