Hello;
Issue #5 [1] requests a better icon-upload workflow. It would be really
nice if HDS could consume an HVIF and would then produce bitmap data at
various sizes as necessary. I had a brief look at the C++ code that
renders the HVIF to see how hard it would be to render the HVIF into a
Java Graphics context, but (as noted on the ticket) I think this is the
wrong way to approach the problem. Better would be to write a native
Haiku tool that accepted an HVIF or extracted an HVIF, rendered the PNGs
and uploaded the HVIF and bitmaps to HDS.
If others agree that this would be a better approach, I will close this
ticket and hopefully somebody will have some time to work on that at
some point. I am happy to provide help / pointers from the HDS side and
don't forget there's a test deployment to develop against!
