clipboard copy & paste slow on photos

[Steven McCoy]

Binary package hint: openoffice.org2

Copy & paste a photograph between GIMP Image Editor and OpenOffice.org Writer and its not immediate, noticeably slower than Windows. If you run GIMP from a terminal you see that OpenOffice is negotiating the Windows Bitmap format (.BMP) instead of faster PNG, TIFF, GIF, or JPEG.

Negotiated list:

offered type: application/x-openoffice-objectdescriptor-xml;windows_formatname="Star Object Descriptor (XML)"
offered type: application/x-openoffice-gdimetafile;windows_formatname="GDIMetaFile"
