Description uwestoehr 2006-04-03 17:44:44 UTC 
Here a proposal for all OpenOffice components:

What about using Imagemagick to convert image file formats to those OpenOffice
can understand. That would be a huge improvement as the user is then able to
import/add every image format to OpenOffice. (At the moment I'm for example not
able to add PDF-images to texts, only EPS.)
The wordprocessor "LyX" (www.lyx.org) for example uses Imagemagick for this,
because an own implementation of all image formats would be to difficult.
Imagamagick (www.imagemagick.org) can also handle JPG2000. Here's a list of all
image formats it knows:

according to http://qa.openoffice.org/issue_handling/workflowcharts/
RFE_issues_by_QA.sxd I reassign this issue to requirements and set the status 
to New

What's the status of this now? I mean having as user the possibility to use
nearly every image format would be a very big argument in contrary to MS Office.
Imagemagick's license is _not_ GPL and allows its usage also for commercial
software I think.
