Hello Konrad,
I often exported a GIMP-Picture as jpg or gif and imported it in OpenOffice Writer (Version 4.0.0). There was never any problem. I think there is a problem in your installation. I would say you should install OpenOffice 4.

Win 7 64 bit RAM 16 GB GIMP 2.8.4

Hi friends,

with GIMP I create maps using a WACOM tablet. I save the data as xcf, additional using the export option as jpg and tif. These files Jpg and tif are for further use. If I try to insert one of these jpgs, OpenOffice Writer (3.4.1) show an error report "graphic filter not found" (translated from german)

If I open the GIMP jpg with Photoshop elements and save it again as jpg either overwriting the old file from GIMP-export or creating a new file (copy) , OO Writer shows the same error-report; same reaction with the GIMP tif.

But if I open the GIMP jpg or GIMP tif with PhotoLine (V 17.11; Shareware; demo free
www.pl32.de) and save it again als jpg (highest qualitiy) then OO Writer insert this picture.

Is this behaviour caused by GIMP or OO Writer or are both "guilty" or is this a bug ?

Is there a way to persuade GIMP to export a readable jpg ??

Thanks for all your help!

Hi Konrad,

I am using OO 3.4.1 on FreeBSD and GIMP 2.8.6. I have no trouble inserting .jpg files output from gimp into OO Writer. I also had no trouble when using OO 3.3.x.

How big are these files, and is there any chance you are simply running over some memory / address space limits? I know once upon a time there were issues of this sort in windows environments when the 4G limit was reached. Since you are running windows, is the OO you are running a 32 bit version, and not able to make use of the whole address space? What happens if you use smaller images, or export using a lower quality jpg?

In the advanced options of the JPEG save dialog, un-tick the "Progressive" box. it is known to cause problems. If I guessed right you can file a bug with OpenOffice because it really should support that feature...

I was able to import a JPEG I exported in Gimp on Linux _with_ the "Progressive" option enabled into a document I created in LibreOffice 4.0.4.2 on Linux just fine.

Perhaps there was an issue with previous versions of OpenOffice.

Peace...
