Hi all,
As you might know, Writer currently does not allow to rotate
images (unless of course you're willing to use a rather
hacky extension).
While the big goal should still be allow freely rotating
images in the
future, inquiring minds would like to know how people would
feel about
being able to rotate in 90 degree steps – since apparently
implementing
that would be a lot easier.
Also, how would you feel about this being realised via
toolbar buttons
instead of image handles? (We already feature an image
toolbar that
allows to flip (=mirror) an image where it should be easy to add
Rotate Right and Rotate Left buttons.)
Depends on where we want to go;
As of now, Draw can rotate images just like any other
drawable, via the "Position and Size" menuitem (e.g. context
menu). OTOH Impress can also rotate images via handles.
Personally I think that all modules in an application suite
should treat similar objects in the same way, if possible.
To be consistent, Writer and Draw should get handles for
rotating images, and Writer should also get a "Position and
Size" menuitem.
Ideally the handles would behave and look like in most
drawing packages [1]; changing to arrow-like shapes on
second single-click. I always have to think twice when
seeing the actual Impress round dots.
Whether all those modules get toolbarbuttons for rotation is
another story; why not?
Best regards,

The Inkscape handles are very similar to those in Corel,
Xara and many other drawing packages.
