Is it possible in the future to have this featureAdd an png file to the package, when compile the package it automatically convert it to the .lrs file related to this package, it is useful for adding image icons for our controls.When you create a new component for a package you can select an icon (not only png). Creating an lrs from a png is a one liner on the console/terminal. Thanks for your replay, but it is more easy for newbe Lazarus users or for lazy people like me.
I presume you are aware that selecting an icon for a new component in the Package Editor causes automatic generation of an appropriate .lrs file for the icon, provided the icon has the same name as the new component class (ignoring extension), and that it is no bigger than 24x24 pixels? Lazarus also auto-generates in the Register procedure an appropriate {$I componentUnitName_icon.lrs} line as well. So provided you are only adding one new component, everything is done for you by the IDE, except for designing the icon. If you want several icons to be registered in one unit for several components, then you do have to write a bit of code, and use the lazres.exe tool to generate the correct .lrs file yourself.
