Deleting or adding images while “record changes” is on, isn't actually saved; when “show changes” is enabled, those aren't displayed as changes (with overstrike/underline and colour). Reproducible always regardless of the file format.
Verified on 3.6.3.2, changing version. @Reporter - Version reflects the oldest version that you have seen this behavior, not the newest that it has been tested on. We use comments to say we tested on a later release. Marking as: New (confirmed) Normal (bug that affects a basic feature of LibO, makes it only half functional) Low (only affects one subset of a feature, inserting images, not a lot of users affected) Thanks for helping out!
I do not think this is a bug, maybe can be request for enhancement. In the LibreOffice help " Recording Changes The review function is available in LibreOffice for text documents and spreadsheet documents. Not all changes are recorded. For example, the changing of a tab stop from align left to align right is not recorded. However, all usual changes made by a proofreader are recorded, such as additions, deletions, text alterations, and usual formatting. "
“If a bug is documented, it is a feature”. It doesn't work like this. A direct LO competitor does that in the supported format, so it's certainly a bug, or a bad format support.
(In reply to comment #2) > I do not think this is a bug, maybe can be request for enhancement. Also, see this: > such as additions, deletions, text alterations, and usual formatting. It doesn't say “text deletions”. So it applies to images as well, doesn't it?
Reproducible with LO 4.4.0.3, Win 8.1. I think Track Changes should record deletions of images.
** Please read this message in its entirety before responding ** To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year. There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present. If you have time, please do the following: Test to see if the bug is still present on a currently supported version of LibreOffice (5.0.5 or 5.1.0) https://www.libreoffice.org/download/ If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the version of LibreOffice and your operating system, and any changes you see in the bug behavior If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a short comment that includes your version of LibreOffice and Operating System Please DO NOT Update the version field Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker) Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not appropriate in this case) If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so: 1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) http://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/ 2. Test your bug 3. Leave a comment with your results. 4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to "inherited from OOo"; 4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add "regression" to keyword Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=libreoffice-qa Thank you for your help! -- The LibreOffice QA Team This NEW Message was generated on: 2016-02-21
This is still a valid bug/enhancement request on LibreOffice 5.3.0.3 (running on macOS 10.12.3 Sierra). When choosing to compare a document with a previous version where an image has been replaced by another, only the image from the starting document is shown and there is no mention of the change in the Manage Changes window.
The feature in question was never (completely) implemented to my knowledge, at least not in OpenOffice.org prior to the creation of the LibreOffice project and certainly not in StarOffice before that. Setting as RFE.
László Németh committed a patch related to this issue. It has been pushed to "master": https://git.libreoffice.org/core/commit/d6322bcedc197a654abc7d64bfea8cf570f123bf tdf#59463 track changes: record deletion of images It will be available in 7.2.0. The patch should be included in the daily builds available at https://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/ in the next 24-48 hours. More information about daily builds can be found at: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Testing_Daily_Builds Affected users are encouraged to test the fix and report feedback.
Limit this issue only for deletion, separating image insertion in a different bug report. Insertion differs from the (likely more important, because lossy) deletion, and it's not possible to use the same workaround for it.a
tdf#59463 track changes: record deletion of images Instead of deleting the image object without recording the deletion, delete the anchor point in the text to record the deletion, if Record Changes is enabled. Note: only images anchored as characters can be recorded this way, so change the anchor before the deletion, if needed. This less problem, than hidden, i.e. non-tracked deletion of images.

This less problem, than > hidden, i.e. non-tracked deletion of images. So it's only partially fixed? What will happen if i have an image with paragraph anchiring? And if I didn't read your note?

László, I assume you created a separate bug to track the remaining part of the issue, could you please link it here so that we subscribe to it? Köszönöm :)

And if I didn't read your note? It is fixed for all anchoring types: it changes the anchor automatically in the recorded deletion. Undo and Cut haven't been changed: Undo reverts both image deletion and anchor change at once. Cut & Paste copies the image with the original anchor, but if track changes is enabled, it records the deletion of the image at Cut, too. It seems, it's possible to store the deleted image with "paragraph" and "to-char" anchor in ODF, but unfortunately, that is not back-compatible in LibreOffice: change tracking shows a deleted space, and in the case of anchoring to "paragraph", the image is imported as not deleted, which could be a serious problem.
