screenshot: LibreOffice insert image dialog, displaying WebDAV folder

OS: Ubuntu 14.04 (64-bit)
LibreOffice: 4.2.4.2
WebDAV by: ownCloud

Problem description:
1) create new text document
2) goto Insert->Image->From File
3) click on WebDAV source and navigate to the webDAV folder containing the image
4) click on the image and then on the "open" button
5) error message: "Image file cannot be opened"
I have no idea why that doesn't work. Also the preview function is slow and partially doesn't work (most images don't show up in the preview) even though my workstation is connected with a Gigabit ethernet cable to the server. Normal WebDAV file access like opening and saving LibreOffice documents seems to be working well so far.

Workaround:
Open the image in a browser and then copy it (copy/paste) into the LibreOffice Writer document. If necessary use CTRL-SHIFT-V for pasting the image (dialog box to define if bitmap or html source to be pasted).

Hello,
tested with Version: 4.4.3.0.0+
Build ID: 8106e522c4ea2ae4441ec571579a38eeb6d9af04
TinderBox: Linux-rpm_deb-x86_64@46-TDF, Branch:libreoffice-4-4, Time: 2015-03-13_12:39:32  and owncloud webdav. Seems to be fixed, I can see preview of the image and insert image into the document.
Closing as worksforme, if you still have problem install latest version of LO.

Thank you. I can confirm. It seems to be fixed already in 4.2.7.2. 
- Preview works
- Insert works
