Re: [PATCH] to let mod_dir include HEIGHT/WIDTH attributes on icon IMGs

[Andrew Wilson <a....@elsevier.co.uk>]

So now, when people design new icons they need to hack the conf each
time they want to view the page, or risk seeing their weirdly
dimensioned work displayed with some nobrain 20x22 geometry?

Just trying to look for a downside.

Why not let the default be as it is now, no geometry hints supplied if
none present in the .conf?

Ay.
