Hi, is there a way to deploy images in an extension, which can be loaded without calling code in that extension? That is, ideally I would like the extension to deploy a configuration entry containing a URL, where the OOo can pass this URL to the graphic provider, which is able to load the image without actually loading any code from the extension itself.
Say, something like "private:graphic/extension/extension_name/path_to_image_file", handled by the GraphicProvider implementation. To my best knowledge (and trusting the API documentation), the GraphicProvider cannot do this currently, but are there other means to achieve that? Does our extension infrastructure allow for this? I could probably mimic what would be the ideal GraphicProvider implementation: The extension would need to add a configuration entry specifying the programmatic extension name, plus a path within the extension folder. The package API would allow to get the actual image file then. However, this is ugly (graphics should be referenced by URLs, not some strange assembled config data), and of course a central implementation would be preferred. Hints/Opinions, anybody? If we don't have anything, yet, I'm probably going to extend the GraphicProvider implementation.
