Any interest in a patch or pr to check for and use libreoffice in headless mode via a subprocess to convert .wmf and .emf images to .png images on the fly?

It will work on Linux, MacOS and should work on Windows if LibreOffice is installed on the system running the plugin.

See this post for reasoning and details.

If interested, let me know and I am willing to take shot at it. Changes should be restricted to your ImageWriter routine (hopefully) plus a routine to make a subprocess call.

Thanks
