[OG3P] Pasting bitmap images from the clipboard

[Christian Roth]

Hi,

when I copy some selection of a 200dpi pixel image (from e.g. PSE) to the
clipboard and paste that in an OG document, the absolute size of the
selection seems to be retained, but the quality of the image seems to
drop to 72dpi. It somehow looks like OG retains the absolute size of the
selection in cm, but downsamples the pixel content.

On the other hand, when I save the image first to a file and then do a
"Place image...", OG keeps the full pixel information, but does not keep
the absolute size (it looks like if it assumed some 72dpi for the image
and determined its absolute size based on that factor and the pixel count
found). I used the PNG format for my test which indeed does save dpi
information (in contrast to GIF, e.g.).

Since I am not sure what OG is actually supposed to do in both of the
above cases, can anyone give me some clue as to the inner workings of OG
regarding pixel images?

Personally, I'd expect it to paste an image object of the correct
absolute size, but also keeping the full original pixel information at
all times.

Thanks, Christian.
