            Bug ID: 117157
           Summary: Add "Paste special → as SVG" option
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 5.4.5.1 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: LibreOffice
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: rgb.mldc at gmail.com

Right now, when selecting "paste special" after copying a drawing object, the
only available options are "draw 8", "graphic object", "GDI metafile" and
"bitmap". While GDI is a vector format, it would be useful to have the option
to paste "as SVG" without the need to first export the graphic and then insert
it.

Rationale: at least on my experience, pasting complex drawings on a Writer
document as Draw objects is detrimental to program performance, hence the
usefulness of using a vector image. SVG is a widely recognized standard and
LibreOffice already have the ability to both, export and display SVG files. For
all this "pasting special → as SVG" would be a really interesting option to
add.
