What do you think about generating an additional dir for each style in
/usr/sausalito/ui/web/libImage , then adding the extra dir info to the
locations in the xml files (mentioned in my original mail).
It makes life easier for the creation of the style, as you don't have to
manually add the style name prefix to each of the new images.
It also keeps the style as an easy to handle 1x dir + 2x xml files.
I thought about my original comment about this system causing duplicates, but
it does not have to. If a style was to use one of the original images, the
xml file would just ref it in it's original location.
As a second item, I assume all entries can be "pkg"ed and made available for
download as BQ "optional extras".
Best Regards,
Howie.
