Created attachment 92265 [details] The "Change Picture" extension downloaded from extensions.openoffice.org In LO Presenter there is a "change picture" functionality, which allows you to change a picture without having to redo all the adaptations (size, cropping, etc.) IIRC, there is also a similar option in Microsoft Word. In OO/LO Writer that functionality is already available as an extension, see http://extensions.openoffice.org/en/project/change-picture I think this functionality should be integrated into the default installation because: - it is even more useful in Writer than in Presenter because in Writer I need to do much more adaptations to fit it to the text - MS Word has it and people will expect it in LO Writer as well (search for "Libreoffice exchange picture" and you get a lot of unhappy people that want that feature) In the extension, SVG-files are missing in the file dialog (because it was written for OO without SVG-support), therefore the filter in the file-dialog should also be extended to include SVG-files for OO. (I have tested the extension by dragging an SVG-file into the file-dialog and it works fine with SVG-files) Attachment: The extension downloaded today from the above URL
Created attachment 92269 [details] Adapted version of extension for Libreoffice (added SVG-support) Added SVG support to extension
I have forked the abovementioned extension to add SVG support (it seems abandoned and also not available in the libreoffice extension system) However I was not able to get an account for the libreoffice extension system, therefore I was not able to publish it there.

I think we should just add the functionality into writer *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 82496 ***
