[mitk-users] Neglected icon attribute in the extension point of the QmitkDataManagerView

[Martin Klemm]

Hello,

I was successful in adding a new context menu action to the data manager
menu:

  <extension point="org.mitk.gui.qt.datamanager.contextMenuActions">
      <contextMenuAction nodeDescriptorName="Unknown" label="Group"
icon="resources/grouping_icon.png" class="GroupAction" />
  </extension>

The action is shown and works as expected, however, the icon is missing.
In QmitkDataManagerView::CreateQtPartControl(QWidget* parent) the
context menu extension service is opened to read the descriptor name,
label, class and icon attribute but is not using the icon to create the
action:

...
if((*cmActionsIt)->GetAttribute("nodeDescriptorName", cmNodeDescriptorName)
      && (*cmActionsIt)->GetAttribute("label", cmLabel)
      && (*cmActionsIt)->GetAttribute("class", cmClass))
    {
      (*cmActionsIt)->GetAttribute("icon", cmIcon);
      // create context menu entry here
      tmpDescriptor =
QmitkNodeDescriptorManager::GetInstance()->GetDescriptor(QString::fromStdString(cmNodeDescriptorName));

      contextMenuAction = new QAction( QString::fromStdString(cmLabel),
parent);
...

Is there a reason why the icon is not used?

Best regards,

Martin
