Bug Description

Distribution: Ubuntu 7.04
Desktop: Gnome
Package: OpenOffice.org 2.2.0-1ubuntu4

Today I had the crazy idea of adding an oodraw picture to my oowriter document.

I had my .odt (OpenDocument Document) document open in one window, started File->New->Drawing. Doodled a bit, saved as .odg (OpenDocument Drawing). Back in my .odt document I selected Insert->Picture->From file... in the menu just to discover that .odg and even .sxd (OpenOffice 1.0 drawing) where not supported.

What is that all about?

Workaround: In oodraw you can actually do a ctrl-a, ctrl-c and then paste in the selection in oowrite using ctrl-v -- but it is still unintuitive to not support your own graphics interchange formats.
