When I right click on a picture and try the option "Edit with external tool..." it opens Wine internet explorer just showing me a blank Wine IE screen...
I'm not sure if the problems comes from Openoffice or from OS.
What is the normal default editor ? how to change this ?

Re: Picture and Edit with external tool option
This problem related to the setting of the OS.I'm not sure if the problems comes from Openoffice or from OS.

You can set (in the OS) the default software (viewer, editor, or other software) for every document type - for every file extension.
I do not know, how you can achieve this in your Linux and/or Wine...

Re: Picture and Edit with external tool option
Thank you for your answer.
You're right it was a filetype association issue, nothing to do with Open Office.
Anyway I post the answer. The solution is really easy...
It looks like this problem is common after installing Wine.
This apply to LXDE desktop environment :
When you click on "Edit with external tool..." OO create a file in the /tmp folder. You can get the file name in the address bar of Wine IE.
Just go in the tmp folder and right click on this file then "open with" -> "other application". Select "Libre office draw" or anything you want and click "set as default". Now it works.
