Comment 1 Rainer Bielefeld Retired 2012-07-07 23:40:52 UTC
NOT reproducible  with Server Installation of  "LibreOffice 3.6.0.0.beta3  German UI/Locale [Build-ID: 3e2b862] on German WIN7 Home Premium (64bit) 

NOT reproducible with "LibreOffice 3.5.3.1 (RC1) Italian UI / German Locale [Build-ID: 21cb047-d7e6025-9ba54fc-b4a51a8-f42372b] on German WIN7 Home Premium (64bit) 

Drag and drop leaves picture on Desktop and shows a copy in the presentation slide.
Comment 2 Roman Eisele 2012-08-17 15:31:00 UTC
NOT REPRODUCIBLE with
* LibreOffice 3.5.6.2 (Build-ID: e0fbe70-dcba98b-297ab39-994e618-0f858f0)
* LibreOffice 3.6.1.1 (Build ID: 4db6344),
both with German langpack installed and on MacOS X 10.6.8 (Intel).

After step 2 (of comment #0), the image is placed correctly at the current page of the presentation. I have tried with .jpg, .png, and .svg images.


@ r.vauchez:

Thank you very much for your bug report!

But we can’t reproduce the issue. Could you please try to find out some more details, e.g., which kind of images do you try to drag to the Impress presentation (which file type, etc.)? Can you please attach an image which causes this problem for you to this bug report (just click on "Add an attachment" on this page)? Is there something special about the Impress presentation you edit? Which version of MacOS X do you use?

Thank you very much in advance!
Comment 3 Alex Thurgood 2012-08-21 13:38:19 UTC
I can reproduce this on :
Version 3.7.0.0.alpha0+ (Build ID: 9e04ae0)

daily build from today on Mac OSX 10.8 (Mountain Lion)

1) Start LO
2) Select Presentation
3) The basic blank Impress template containing 2 text areas.
4) Drag and drop a PNG file from the desktop onto the open presentation.
5) LO opens a new Draw document and pastes the image inside it. 


So, confirming.

Comment 4 Alex Thurgood 2012-08-21 13:42:53 UTC
Also tested with 
LibreOffice 3.5.5.3 
Version ID : 7122e39-92ed229-498d286-15e43b4-d70da21

I can also reproduce the described buggy behaviour.

Comment 5 Alex Thurgood 2012-08-21 13:44:49 UTC
LOL, I also get the same behaviour in LO 3.3.4 on Mac OSX 10.8

Comment 9 Alex Thurgood 2012-08-21 13:58:27 UTC
Retried on a second OSX 10.8 machine (OSX Server), and same results, i.e. the buggy behviour is reproducible.


The problem might well be specific to OSX 10.7 and upwards, since Roman couldn't reproduce on OSX 10.6.

Comment 10 r.vauchez 2012-08-21 13:59:25 UTC
I am using OS 10.7.4, LibreOffice 3.5.5.3 and I still can reproduce the buggy behavior with JPEG and PNG images.

Yes, I think this is the answer. I still can’t reproduce the issue on MacOS X 10.6.8, even when exactly following Alex’ steps in comment #3 and using his sample PNG image (see attachment). But the original reporter (using MacOS X 10.7.4, see comment #10) and Alex (using Mac OSX 10.8) can reproduce it.

But this does not change the fact that this is a LibreOffice bug -- obviously, LibreOffice does not understand the drag and drop information given by MacOS X >= 10.7. So we still need a fix for this.
Comment 12 Roman Eisele 2012-08-21 14:10:04 UTC
@Thorsten Behrens:
I am sorry to CC you about so many bugs, but this is yet another bug specific to MacOS X. It is interesting in that it occurs only on MacOS X >= 10.7. But nevertheless it is a LibreOffice bug because drag and drop works fine in other applications on MacOS X > 10.7. So please take a look at it ... maybe it is rather easy to fix this?!

Thank you very much in advance!

This is still a bug in Mac OSX 10.8.5 (Mountain Lion) running LibreOffice 4.1.3.2. This bug is really annoying.
Comment 15 iamahat 2014-04-23 12:53:44 UTC
Just going to add that this bug persists, the latest version is 4.2.3.3 and every single image requires an extra 5-15 clicks. It is insanely annoying.
Comment 16 cytan299 2014-06-20 15:21:54 UTC
Can this bug be pushed to a higher priority? It has been there since 2012! I'm using the latest version of MacOSX 10.9.3 and the latest version of LibreOffice 4.2.5.2 and this D&D bug is still there.
Comment 17 cytan299 2014-07-31 01:03:43 UTC
Bug persists in LibreOffice 4.3.0.4 and Mavericks (MacOSX 10.9.4)
Comment 18 cytan299 2014-08-29 12:30:57 UTC
Problem continues in 4.3.1.2

Drag and drop of pictures into Impress partially works.

Drag and drop from the upper graphics panel, the picture drops into Impress fine. However, drag and drop from the text part of the finder panel, and Draw pops up instead.

thanks for the update but please do not change version field.
it must indicate "earliest affected" version, not latest.

reverting it to 3.5.3

Please check with the latest daily developer build for OSX, a fix has gone in for the problem with Writer (bug 44621), perhaps that has also solved this bug.
Comment 26 Alex Thurgood 2015-05-12 08:33:46 UTC
This now works on master daily build OSX, since :

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=cfdd89f10fdc15b36bd0d1023e49ca3752feb51e

Thanks to Manik for some great work here !

Comment 28 cytan299 2015-06-30 14:20:52 UTC
I just downloaded and installed 4.4.4.3 and this bug persists! Was the fix left out of this latest build?
Comment 29 tommy27 2015-06-30 14:26:18 UTC
you should try a 5.0.x or 5.1.x daily build from here:
http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/

the fix is in one of those branches, not in the 4.4.x so there's no surprise the bug is still present in 4.4.4.3
