Alternate images sharing

[kc123]

Hello,

We are using EA with subversion control for our project.

I am using the "Select Alternate Image" option to change the look of a few properties in my diagram. However, I want these images to be also reflected when other project members update their packages using the "Get All Latest" command.

Is there a way that I can add the Images to the .eap file? Or is there some way that I can link the images to the properties themselves?

Thanks in advance!

IMHO you need to use the Reference Data. Export your custom images to an XML file via the Export Reference Data.
This file can then be imported via an Import Reference Data. It also provides an option to use it as a Shared File.

Thanks for replying!

If I understood you correctly, then it would seem that we have already tried the Export and Import Reference Data option.

Evidently, once the second person has imported the image data from this XML file, the images are not automatically applied to the properties. He has to then apply it manually to the properties i.e. he has to go and "Select Alternate Image" on each property again.

That will include alternate images in the XMI export.
