A poor design or bug if you want. The plugin takes care of this and referenced images relatively as you noticed.

[EXT] Actual expanded value of %origin% for toolbar and menu images
Hi, This message is just to bring a peculiarity of the SDK to the attention of the subscribers to this mailing list. Summary: as of AOO 4.1.0, %origin% is expanded into the "Office" folder in the "registry" subtree of your project (and installed extension). Details follow. The context: I was trying to add icons to the toolbar and menu commands of an extension I'm developing. I ended up following the pages at these addresses: * https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Framework/Article/Generic_UNO_Interfaces_for_complex_toolbar_controls * https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/DevGuide/WritingUNO/AddOns/Images_for_Toolbars_and_Menus I couldn't get the images to appear although I was certain the URLs were fine. Therefore, I went back to creating a dummy add-on project in NetBeans so I could see which URL would be generated. Instead of the %origin%/images/img.png pattern that I was using (and which is used in the second Wiki page mentioned above), the auto-generated Addons.xcu file had %origin%/../../../../../images/img.png Images are found and displayed with the string of ".." parent folders but not without these double dots. Apparently, %origin% does not point to the root folder in which the extension is installed (AddOn\build\soffice_debug\user\uno_packages\cache\uno_packages\svfj5eg0.tmp_\AddOn.oxt\ in my case), which seems (to me) to diverge from what the Wiki says. Maybe that the definition of %origin% could be updated in the Wiki or checked/clarified? The conclusion that I come to is that %origin% gets expanded into [the pretty long] AddOn\build\soffice_debug\user\uno_packages\cache\uno_packages\svfj5eg0.tmp_\AddOn.oxt\registry\data\org\openoffice\Office\ and not "just" AddOn\build\soffice_debug\user\uno_packages\cache\uno_packages\svfj5eg0.tmp_\AddOn.oxt\ as I thought, reading the current Wiki. Here is the complete scenario: * In NetBeans, create a new Apache OpenOffice Add-On project. * On the Define User Commands page of the wizard, pick a 16x16 PNG image as the small low-contrast image. * Don't select anything as to the context. Finish the wizard. You'll see a bunch of "/.." in Addons.xcu. * Right-click the project and select Debug Extension in Target Apache OpenOffice. The image is displayed. * Exit. Then modify the URL (in Addons.xcu) to remove the parent folders in the path. * Debug again. The image isn't displayed. * Create a "images2" folder in registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/ * Copy your image in there and change its name to img2.png. Also change the path in Addons.xcu. * In build.xml, add the XML fragment that is below this list of steps. * Debug with and without the ".." parent folders in the path. You'll have your images displayed in both cases. Used: * NetBeans 8.0 * AOO API Plugin 4.0.6 * AOO 4.1.0 Can someone who has access to the Wiki update the relevant page? Regards.
