Icons for stereotypes in project browser

[Thomas H.]

I defined my own stereotypes in an UML profile with specific shapes.
(in the uml profile the attribute "_image" is used for defining own shapes for a stereotype).

I wanted to know if it is possible to define shapes for the icons that are shown in the project browser.
According to an answer in the user forum this is currently not supported.

Thomas,

Have you submitted the request - directly to Sparx via the Feature Request link near the bottom of any forum page - as Michael suggested?

I made this request some time ago. At the time I got no traction, but that could simply be due to a limited amount of user interest. One of the most effective ways to raise the perceived (by Sparx) level of interest is to make formal feature requests.

If you and other users make this request then perhaps this will be added to the feature set. Personally, I'd love to see it make the cut for EA 7.5, which will likely come out early in the new year.

Agree. And a good feature it would be, too.

Second Thought: It would be a good 'feature' if we could 'vote' on features added to that dedicated forum - so that the Sparx development team and product manager could actually get a view as to whether a feature request is desired by more people that just the requester.

The idea of voting in the forum was quite the rage a while back. Lots of threads asking for something along these lines. And lots of posts supporting the concept.

Sadly, nothing came of it.

Life goes on...

Yes, it's in (but needs documenting... thanks for the reminder)

Thank you, thank you, thank you...

Let me know when you need an extra alpha tester.
