Is it possible to install an image container with extension?

Hi

I'm packaging an old extension,which is installed by extracting
archive to overwrite user data.
Its icon is defined by image file and an lc_imagelist.xml.
It seems that there isn't such a file type for META-INF/manifest.xml.

Is there anyway to install the image container with extension, or just
impossible?

Hello,

Maybe you could split the original image into icons using ImageMagick 
(http://www.imagemagick.org/script/command-line-options.php#crop). Then 
it's rather easy to create a gallery by importing these new icons and 
finally package the gallery as an extension.

Best regards

Hi Bernard,

Thank you for kindly reply. The image container is for icon. There are
roughly 100 icons in it. Though I can split it into separate images, I
still wonder if it is possible to use the original way .

Hi,
This seems to be a hack.
What is the use of the images ?

If you want to add a new gallery of images, then look at any of the extensions 
doing this.
If you want to have some icons for the buttons of your extension, this is done 
but putting the images in the oxt file (or a sub-folder of it) and referencing 
it from the Addons.xcu file.
If you want to use images from the code of your extension, simply put the images 
in the oxt file. By code you can get the location of the installed extension.

Regards
   Bernard
