Reported by:   Assigned to:  
Priority: Normal  Milestone: 1.0 "talks to add-art.org" 
Release:    Component:  add-art Firefox extension 

By adding a title attribute to the images we can easily add a credit to the artist. Like:

The credit can be taken directly from the image name, saving us the need to save a metadata file for the images.

  • Assigned user reset (from jamie)
  • Milestone set to 1.0 "talks to add-art.org"

Jamie says this needs to be part of the XML downloading thing.

I commited a patch a while back that parses artbanners8-800x600.jpg into a title attribute of “artbanners” Tragically it’s not very useful until we can support dynamic file naming.

Right now we’re looking for artbanners#{RANDOMNUMBER}-#{SIZEIWANT}.jpg. Firefox can’t browse the local filesystem (or chrome) so we can’t explore it and find stuff like picasso-#{SIZEIWANT}.jpg. Thus this won’t really be doable until we have some way of knowing dynamic file names, e.g. “XML downloading thing”

Note: this doesn’t necessarily mean said XML file needs to be downloaded from a remote source—it could very well be stored in the extension and updated with each release the same way the static files are.
