Hi. I did look at this Insert -> Picture -> From File feature in 4.0.0.3. I see that the lower left hand corner has the option to check "Link". I can see how, if you're needing to insert a lot of images this way over a short span of time, it would help if it defaulted to those settings. Or perhaps there could be an option to "Remember these settings". I will set the status of this to NEW, and prioritize as an Enhancement. Thank you for the feedback! Version: 4.0.0.3 Platform: Ubuntu 12.04 x64 Brenda ------------------------------------- LibreOffice is powered by a team of volunteers, every bug is confirmed (triaged) by human beings who mostly give their time for free. We invite you to join our triaging by checking out this link: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugTriage There are also other ways to get involved including with marketing, UX, documentation, and of course developing - http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists I was guided here from this Q&A over at Ask Libreoffice: http://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/15363/how-do-i-link-inserted-images-by-default-in-writer/ . I concur with Valdas. An option like this would be very helpful. Thank you, Brenda, for reviewing and triaging this bug! I think it might be a good idea to also implement a global setting that controls all insertion methods (drag and drop, copy-paste, insert from file dialog, and gallery). For now instead of using the "insert image from file" dialog you might find it faster to directly drag and drop the images into the document while holding down CTRL+SHIFT. This automatically "link"s the images (Thanks, @manj_k!). |

Problem description: When opening "insert image from file" dialog that dialog has option "link" to not embed image content to document directly. Every time that option is unchecked when that dialog is opened. Will be good if that option state will be remembered till next open of dialog. I'm using linked image files a lot and every time I must check that option, and is painful to debug big document when I forgot to check "linked" on one of images. Current behavior: Option "link image file" is always clear on dialog open. Expected behavior: Would be good if option state will be remembered. Operating System: Ubuntu Version: 3.6.4.3 release
