image context menu

The image context menu in writer needs to be reorganized to better show importance and less used features should to be removed.

Step 1 - Rearrangement
The arrange/alignment section should be moved to the bottom of the menu and the save/change image section should be moved to the top underneath the clipboard functions.

Step 2 - Removals
The 'Rotate Image' submenu should be removed as it is available in the image toolbar and the toolbar also has flip functions. ImageMap is a feature used in html editors like Writer Web and is a feature rarely used. Description is also another highly unused feature. Alignment and anchor submenus are duplicates of the same features in the frame toolbar.

Step 3 - Icons
Many of these entries are missing icons, with the most important one that is needed is for the 'Image...' entry.

I set status NEW and I give my 2 cents about it.

I agree. logical disposition.

I'd leave all those items. they are less used but if you remove them all the basic users won't even know that they exist. moreover I find useful to have the rotate item either in the context menu and in the toolbar .

More icons needed, expecially that one.

new image context menu

Here you go tommy. I basically did step 1 (rearranging) and removed imagemap and description of step 2. I believe it still needs more tweaking.

This bug fix is mentioned in the release notes of the coming LibreOffice 5.0 (see release notes https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/5.0). Therefore it would be wonderful if this feature really worked well, otherwise it should not be mentioned in the release notes. In the notes it reads:

Rearrangement of the image context menu. Elaborate on the specific changes! tdf#87185 (Yousuf Philips)
