The image is currently a dedicated attribute per message.
Current situation:
Pro:
- Very simple in use.
Con:
- News messages might use the same icon anyway, e.g. for recognition (logo, specific product icon, ...)
Perhaps some sort of image library should be considered. This could perhaps also simply be a DocumentFile?
Pro:
- Only upload once (less work, less disk space).
Con:
- More complicated than a simple upload.
The impact on the API would also need to be reviewed. For backward compatibility: still support API 1.1.0. For users who have the latest version installed: we'd need to be able to match the image anyway if the image already exists as a DocumentFile.
Current assessment: Don't go forward with this. Unfortunately, currently iTop's User Actions Configurator can also not be used as it does not support copying images.
