Workspace Image style cannot take URI from feature. [message #1802037]

Hello,
I have an Ecore model which represents some text and images, and for the images I have an EClass which has an attribute called uri which stores the location of the image.

I would like to show these images in Sirius using the 'Workspace Image' style.
However , in the .odesign specification file, for the Workspace image style, I can only put an exact path for an image (like \image1.jpg), butI would prefer to have feature:URI , so that the image location is taken from the eObject.

Is this possible to do currently? Maybe it is a 'simple' feature enhancement that I could add myself to Sirius?
Thanks,
Neil

Hello,

Indeed, you can only put a path as this is not an expression field (Note that expression fields have a yellow background). This enhancement you suggest is a good idea, you can file a new bugzilla about it, but I can't tell you when or if we will implement it (it seems like a quick feature though).
For the moment, you will have to implement this feature yourself using the custom style extension point[1].

Regards,
Steve

Thanks Steve,
I will raise a Bugzilla for this. I will try to implement myself as a custom style, and hopefully my code can be used\useful for adding the feature to sirius.
