How to persist "keep ratio" = on by default in image properties dialog?

  1. Quit all LibreOffice modules.
  2. Start with a new Writer document.
  3. Paste in an image.
  4. Right-click and open properties on the image.

The keep ratio checkbox to the right of the height and width will be off.

Every time I start a new LO session, this checkbox will be reset to off.

If I turn it on, which I always do, it will stay on for the duration of the LO session (ok), but it will be reset the next time I open a Writer document without anything else open in LO (not ok).

I would like to set this to be on by default in every LO session.

Where to do that?

This is an individual property of every image. There is no way to record it in a frame style (because the setting is related to frame contents, not the frame itself).

My 2-cent advice is to always process your images outside LO, in a dedicated application, so that the image is used “as is”: size, pixel density, bit depth, format, … The lesser Writer has to do on image, the better you are (reliability and stability).
