If yes, then yes it does work fine with this new AbiWord changes. I >am able to add *.jpg and *.png images in AbiWord. Althought, I didn't test >with old AbiWord for insert images. > Yes. Exactly. Previously, it has always worked fine with .png images, but never with .jpg or .bmp I know it is not necessarily a bad thing to teach users about the different types of images, but then also having to train them how to convert between them can get to be a hassle. Much easier if they can just add all of the common image types directly. >If no, well what's name of this plugins?
