Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 86535
Png icons can't be attached to property ImageIdentifier
Last modified: 2014-01-31 10:46:12 UTC
In the Addons.xcu file of an extension it is possible to affect a set of image icons to a command or to a toolbar item with the property ImageIdentifier. Currently, this is only accepted for bmp images, not png images. This is in line with the Developer's Guide documentation. But OOo 2.0 handles now png images. It is possible to affect a png image through an Image node in the Addon.xcu file, but this method is not so easy. ImageIdentifier should support bmp and png images, just like the Image node.
I agree with Bernard. ImageIdentifier is more useful than UserDefinedImages because you can define an image even if there is no command (a sub-menu entry for example). OOo 3.2 seems to ignore ImageIdentifier property for MenuBar, but it still works for ToolBar. It's now a problem.
