Re: graphics in /main/extras/source/symbols
Hi all,
It builds fine on Windows.
Since there seem to be no objections, I plan to merge this PR to trunk
by the end of next week.
Our Linux buildbot can do the test job then. Still open is a build for
macOS.
Regards,
Matthias

IMO the complete directory isn't needed anymore, the UI does not provide

I plan to open a Pull Request for this. Comments welcome.
