Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 40973
Inclusion of Image Editor in OOo
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:35:31 UTC
At present OOo doesn’t contain an image-editing tool of it’s own. Many open source image editors are available most notably GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) which is available on Linux as well as windows platform. Can it be included in OOo to make it more feature rich office suit. Thanks.
Reassigned.
Please note that OOo is increasingly being used in printing and publishing environment. There a user frequently needs to edit images along with word processing. In absence of an inbuilt image editor, users are required to look for 3 rd party tools. Inclusion of image editor like GIMP will be really advantageous for such users. Even competing office suits include such tools.
StarOffice 5.2 was having an inbuilt image editor “StarOffice Image 5.2â€. Instead of including and enhancing it, OOo removed it altogether. Anyway GIMP inclusion seems to be a better option now.
