Enhancement : We are not supposed to insert any image directly from any online sources . add this feature as an enhancement.
Please argue. If it is in MS-Office, it is not enough to prove that would be a good thing. Best regards. JBF
Yes, we need a longer argument and more details. Setting to NEEDINFO.
I do not know if I should write here or just fill another enhancement, but here it goes anyway: Rationale: Most of my time in libreoffice, whether writer or impress, when I want to insert images, I use images from articles that I read or directly from searches in the internet. No, I honestly do not use the default gallery at all (are there so many people using it?). Possible implementation: It could be useful to use the sidebar to provide a search box that would use a specific search engine (google or others) to fetch the thumbnails. Once the user selects a thumbnail, an option could appear to allow the user to save the original image (full size, that is) to the hard drive or to directly insert it on the document. Integrating an option of searching only for images with creative commons license would also be a big plus, since for many times, I need to have that care, because... You know. Advantages: Saves some time, several more clicks and helps to keep focused (ie. not having the temptation of opening another unrelated-to-work website). (Btw, I use LibreOffice and do not have a single clue if MSOffice has this feature or not, so I do not have any conflict of interest.)
Set back to unconfirmed. I disagree with this enhancement request. I think it is not the role of LibreOffice to do what your preferred search engines do in your preferred browser. Lock-in is not in the DNA of LibreOffice. Best regards. JBF

Too much feature bloat for little convenience.

But.. (In reply to Buovjaga from comment #5) > ...Too much feature bloat for little convenience. So: Status -> RESOLVED WONTFIX That being said, if someone finds this bug and wants to work on code/an extension themselves, please feel free to give it a shot!
