[Libreoffice-ux-advise] [Bug 127854] Add ability to keep vector image and compress replacement image in image compression dialog

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=127854

--- Comment #3 from Gellért Gyuris <gellert.gyuris@gmail.com> ---
Thanks you for the replay, Heiko!

What do you want to achieve?
When inserted image is a vector format (SVG, PDF...) I want to compress the
replacement image only, not the original vector file. This is currently not
possible, because the image compression dialog replaces the original vector
file with a bitmap copy.

Why? Use case
I have SVG/PDF files with huge canvas (not image size): 1×2 m roll-up, large 
outdoor boards for displaying advertisements (4×2,75 m). When I insert these
drawings, it creates replacement images with huge file size (even if the vector
images are only linked). I want to compress the replacement image size to
reduce ODT document size as this image compression feature designed for.

It is not a good option to replace the vector with a bitmap, I want to see the
vector file in PDF output, therefore I want to preserve vector format in ODT. I
want to compress the replacement image only.

I hope I was able to explain it.
