We’re trying to keep our UI graphics (icons, images, symbols) in a shared folder that we reference under /Media, so projects can reuse the same assets without copying them everywhere. The referenced folder shows up normally in Logical View and the files are visible, but when picking an image in mappView, the image selector only displays folders that physically exist in the project’s /Media directory. Referenced folders just don’t appear, and typing the path manually isn’t accepted either.
It would be great if mappView could handle referenced /Media folders the same way it treats local ones, so the UI editor can actually select images from shared libraries. That would make it much easier to reuse graphics across projects and keep everything consistent without constantly duplicating folders and files.
Understand your idea. The AS wizard obviously only shows the media files that are physically stored in the Media folder (this is not the case for referenced files).
Just a short note from me, as moderator:
Even if the Community is often visited by product managers, it could be that someone takes the idea and implements it. But in general, if you would like to create an official request, you have to do so in the official way through your local support office. Official request = official statement: yes, we will implement it; no, we will not implement it.
We have at Community Feedback category, here you can share with us ideas and wish what to do better, what to add,but only in relation to B&R Community. Sorry
