Created attachment 51544 [details] Example of Current SVG Copy and Paste in LibO-dev 3.5.0 We agree! The ability to copy and paste SVG directly into LibreOffice would be a time saver and great enhancement! As an example, we tested the desired enhancement in the Master: LibO-dev 3.5.0 Build ID: 47a101d-ea64cb6-1e62dcb-725236 On OSX 10.6.8 Located at: http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/MacOSX_10.6.7_Intel_no-moz/master/2011-09-22_04.45.55/ with master~2011-09-22_04.45.55_LibO-Dev_OOO350m1_MacOS_x86_install_en-US.dmg Steps to reproduce: 1. Use a Web browser or Graphic Editor to find an SVG picture (we used both). 2. Copy the SVG picture. 3. Paste the SVG picture directly into LibreOffice. Expected results: SVG will appear within WRITER, DRAW, etc. Actual results (vary): Either the SVG code (NOT PICTURE) appears or an Error appears. For "SVG Copy and Paste from Web Browser.png" the copied SVG picture resulted in the insertion of the SVG code. For "SVG Copy and Paste from Graphic Editor.png" the copied SVG picture resulted in the error "Requested clipboard format is not available." Expected result is shown in "SVG Insert From File.png". It would be nice to see this enhancement in LibO 3.5.0. [This is an automated message.] This bug was filed before the changes to Bugzilla on 2011-10-16. Thus it started right out as NEW without ever being explicitly confirmed. The bug is changed to state NEEDINFO for this reason. To move this bug from NEEDINFO back to NEW please check if the bug still persists with the 3.5.0 beta1 or beta2 prereleases. Details on how to test the 3.5.0 beta1 can be found at: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugHunting_Session_3.5.0.-1 more detail on this bulk operation: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/RFC-Operation-Spamzilla-tp3607474p3607474.html looks like duplicate of Bug 35146 - copy-paste from InkScape pastes text instead of image on Linux but it is not duplicate, here functionality should do this: 1) Clipboard contains text 2) this text inserts as svg picture (I think it is be better use for this Edit->paste special or Insert->Picture->From clipboard) Copy & pasting an SVG Image works for me in 4.0.2. I tried copying it from the Gnome Image Viewer, then pasted it in LibreOffice and the Image appeared. Bug 35146 deals with wrongly recognized MIME types in the clipboard. Thus I'm closing this bug. Sorry, but here copied should be text, not an image. And inserted as image. in 4.0.2 not implemented yet. IMHO this is more naturally to implement as extension written on Basic or Python But why would you want to copy a SVG file as text when you can just copy&paste the Image? I don't think this feature belongs to the Core. Buf if someone wants to write an extension, he can do so of course. This is a valid request but I agree, not so sure why it's better than current solution. Marking as NEW as there's nothing wrong with the request per say, just not sure if/when it'll be implemented. If user or someone can explain the benefit of this method, maybe we'd have a clearer understanding of the need for this feature. |
