Hi everyone (especially plugin developers) I've just committed to trunk (in r14897) a bit of eye candy: plugins can now be associated with an icon, making the plugin manager dialog more colorful. I hope the icons will help with orientation in that long list of plugins. Plugin developers are welcome to assign icons to their plugins!
How to add icon for your plugin to plugin manager: In plugin's __init__.py file add new icon() method: def icon(): return "images/my-icon.png" That's all. Plugin manager will load the icon and put it next to the plugin's name. The path to the icon should be relative to the plugin's directory. Any image type supported by Qt is supported, though PNG is highly preferred since it is lossless and supports transparency with alpha channel. At some point the new plugin repository (currently under development) should be able to automatically parse the icon file name, retrieve the icon from plugin's zip archive and make it available to plugin installer to download icons for the available plugins. Comments are welcome :-) Regards Martin _______________________________________________ Qgis-developer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
