--- Comment #1 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote@utsa.edu> ---
Agree there is utility to doing this when import filter 'opening' a graphic or
image format. Perhaps as default behavior, as done now for SVG.

Behavior now, opening to user profile defaults page size (not just A4), comes
from the shared sd source for Draw & Impress where document creation is
normally multi-slide/page ODF presentation or drawing. Opening a PNG, JPG, EPS
image onto document page (shrinking it to fit page margins) is conducive to
efficient creation of a multi-page presentation starting with the initial open.

But, we could increase utility for use of Draw as an graphic/image editor if
default for Draw import filter opening would be to place a graphic/image onto a
canvas matching the image size.

And while looking at this, the resulting canvas should not assign margins (as
is done now but ignored for SVG import opening).

Would actually improve flow of using Draw ODF drawings for OLE embedding.

Changing this, we might need to provide an optional 'open to default page size'
and 'observe margins'.
