I didn't intend to support OOo. However, it seems unclear (at least to me) which graphics formats the various versions of LO support on the different platforms. The official help page https://help.libreoffice.org/Writer/Inserting_a_Graphic_From_a_File actually tells *nothing* about supported formats, let alone any platform differences. > > otoh, LO is a moving target with regular releases.

I met two of them at the GSoC mentors summit but unfortunately I don't recall their names ... otherwise I'd try to write them directly. But as said, I think there should be someone with actual OO/LO experience to start working on this, be it by updating the existing extension or by writing a new one with Python (and python-ly).
