Description jsc 2011-04-15 10:32:56 UTC 
Extension developers often want to reuse some existing graphics (often icons) from the existing resources in the office. But without exact knowledge of the often very cryptic file name it is nearly impossible to get access to this resources. A new simple service should help to retrieve filetype icons by mimetypes and general icons by a more human understandable name e.g. 'folder_open", "folder_up" etc.
Comment 1 jsc 2011-04-15 10:36:14 UTC 
The service is simplified and makes use of the existing com.sun.star.graphic.GraphicProvider and provides mainly a simplified mapping.

New types:
com.sun.star.ui.ImageProvider (new style service)
com.sun.star.ui.XImageProvider
 - getFileTypeIconByMimeType(String mimetype, short iconsize) -> only 16x16 and 32x32 supported
 - getIconByName(String name, short iconsize) -> iconsise currently not used, always returned 16x16
Comment 2 Oliver-Rainer Wittmann 2012-06-13 12:17:29 UTC 
getting rid of value "enhancement" for field "severity".
For enhancement the field "issue type" shall be used.
Comment 3 Marcus 2017-05-20 11:27:43 UTC 
Reset assigne to the default "issues@openoffice.apache.org".
