    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=77407
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34133
    + Proposed solution is a dropdown to reduce DPI / compress image on
insert
      + Requires some settings under Tools > Load/Save
    + Having options for each and every function is suboptimal
    + Alternatively select all (ctrl+A) and compress (all) images could
be useful
    + Close 77407 as DUP of 34133
    + When
      + a) on insert, b) manually
      + have a checkbox in the insert image dialog to disable the
autocompression
      + insert with a fix dpi as defined in tools > options
      + select all and use the known dialog should work too
    + Where

    + What option needs to be provided
      + auto compression on/off
