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)

Added SVG support to extension
Comment 2 Roland Seuhs 2014-01-17 09:12:47 UTC
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
