"Direct" graphic import not supported by LO 6.1

[KlausBlum]

As of LO 6.1.0.3, when OLy tries to insert the compiled image using the "Insert Image - Direct" setting, macro execution is aborted throwing an "incorrect property value" error.
(Using the "Insert Image - Via Clipboard" setting still works.)

The problem is described here in the LO Dev mailing list.

It seems that this happens due to an image handling re-work in LO 6.1:

LO developers promised to help, but in recent LO versions (6.1.1.2 and 6.2.0.0.alpha0+) the problem still persists:

Hmmm. Let's wait and see how that story will continue...

For Writer, the problem is fixed as of LO 6.1.2.1:

Today's commit will find its way into OLy 0.5.8.
This will work with older and newer OO and LO versions. The only incompatible LO release is 6.1.1.

For Draw and Impress, the problem still persists, but will be fixed in LO 6.3.0:

It seems that everything is done for now. Keep waiting for the LO 6.3.0 release.

Good news:
The bugfix for Draw and Impress will be available in LibreOffice 6.1.5:

LibreOffice 6.1.5 and 6.2.0 are released now. As expected, for those new versions the problem with Draw and Impress is solved.

SUMMARY:
For some LibreOffice versions, the OOoLilyPond setting "Insert Image: Direct" in the Options dialog will not work. As a workaround, "Insert Image: via Clipboard" can be used.
The affected Versions are

• Writer: 6.1.0 and 6.1.1
• Draw and Impress: 6.1.0, 6,1,1, 6.1.2, 6.1.3 and 6.1.4

With all earlier and later LibreOffice versions, OOoLilyPond 0.5.8 will work without the mentioned error.
