Comment 5 for bug 761597

Valentin Sipica, this issue is a confirmed regression of LibreOffice Impress as I checked the functionality of OpenOffice.org Impress in Ubuntu 10.10 via the Terminal:

cd ~/Desktop && wget https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/761597/+attachment/2040634/+files/example.tar.gz && file-roller -h example.tar.gz && cd example && soffice -impress -nologo prez.odp

click the picture -> Insert -> Picture -> From File... -> File name: DecayLength_Bs.gif -> Open button

Notice the original picture has been replaced with DecayLength_Bs.gif and the size is the same as the original picture.

One thing is their may be design reasons why this functionality has changed from OOo to LO. However, I do not know if this is the case and it's certainly worth a look into.
