Seeing that SmartArt also has this "native data" and "replacement graphics" parts, that sounds like an XML-based OLE thing to me. > The best and most obvious option seems to be "Options -> [Text Document| > Spreadsheet|Presentation] Options -> Compatibility".

"Presentation" doesn't even have a "Compatibility" subcategory. At least for Writer, the Compatibility options tweak the layout, not the import/export filters. > In any case, my best guess is that we should go with these > subcategories.

I would go with a "SmartArt to LibreOffice Draw or reverse" option, next to the other Microsoft Office options (if we already have such a category, and SmartArt is totally MS-specific, it makes sense to me to have it there). By default, I would keep the current behavior (SmartArt loaded as a group shape + attached metadata to survive roundtrip), and the disabling the load could trigger converting to metafile, disabling save could trigger dropping the metadata and do a pure groupshape export. Of course, this is just a suggestion, other approaches may be equally OK as well. Miklos
