Yes the point here is that not everyone prefers the workflow of open dialog,
select file, LO inserts it how it likes, and user adjusts it to how they like,
and they would prefer to draw the area in their document that the element they
want to insert will fill and then open dialog and select file.

Wordperfect and Calligra both have the behaviour of drawing the space where the
object they want to insert will be placed, which is a good enhancement in my
view. Nobody replying to this bug report doesnt mean there isnt interest, as
many enhancement reports are the same. @Cor, @Stuart: What is your take on this
enhancement.
