Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 33184
Insert graphics anchored as character by default
Last modified: 2022-05-20 20:58:25 UTC
Every time you insert a graphic (bitmap), using copy/paste - a screenshot from another application - it also creates a new paragraph holding the pasted graphic. Wouldn't it be better to accept the paragraph where the cursor is standing on ? When copy/pasting OOo Drawings no new paragraph is created.
reassigned to ES.
I cannot reprofuce it. Please attach a document with both kinds of objects.
.
Created attachment 17815 [details] 1 Paragraph writer document
Created attachment 17816 [details] Picture to be inserted IN the 1 paragraph document
For the need for more info: The key thing is that with every insert (insert-> graphics -> from file OR copy paste action) you will also get an EXTRA paragraph instead of using the paragraph where the cursor resides. This kinda gets annoying making courseware with a lot of screenshots. On top of this if you use insert -> object -> e.b. formula the paragraph where the cursor is located IS used. (no additional paragraph is made then) So if i may choose ;-) i choose the 'no extra paragraph' option.
ES->dalo: FYI: a formula is by default anchored to character so it is inserted at the current cursor position. ES->BH: OOo should insert graphics anchored as character by default. this would solve: - the present problem of an extra paragraph creation - make the creation of a caption on a graphic easier
I think we should at least be able to select the default Anchor for all graphics insertion, using the menu, by dragging and dropping objects from the gallery... For example each time I drag & drop number objects from the gallery, they're not inserted where I drop them, because they're not inserted as Character anchored graphics but as Paragraph. It makes the process of documenting an application so painless. For info I think this issue is related to issue 14008 and issue 19814.
Isn't this issue a duplicate of issue 19814 ? They both deal with setting As Character as the default anchor mode.

Yes, this is a duplicate of issue #19814. I agree.
To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on my owner to the owner "requirements".
issue 14008 is closely related.

(In reply to cno from comment #17) > issue 14008 is closely related. Agreed "As character" must stay a possibility and anchoring must be a choice for end-user. It must be set through Graphics style But now, no way to have anchor option with the stylist dialog Please report your votes on *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of issue 14008 ***
