Artwork Handling

It seems there are two options to use artwork like icons or patient photos in Gnumed. Either convert all images to python embedded image files or use images as is.

It has been decided that using both ways is a pain.

• patient photos will be stored in the backend
• until further notice:
  • icons should be used as original bitmaps
  • before developing new icons, see
    • http://tango-project.org/Tango_Icon_Gallery
    • suggested tools for artists (Inkscape, GIMP) http://tango-project.org/Tango_Icon_Library
    • KDE's step by step guide describing rules and recommendations about development of icons
  • do not use images embedded into a python file
  • see also this Mailing list archived thread
  • the (sub)directory to store them is 'client/bitmaps'

Icons needed:

• for sorting documents

A mini-project to be implemented, concerning the handling of embedded images is at HandlePythonEmbeddedImages

Icons are here, too.
