KM Action XML with Images - Are they all named "Image"?

DanThomas · July 27, 2024, 6:56pm

@peternlewis, or anyone else who might know:

There's a lot of KM actions that have "image wells". I was wondering if their properties in their XML are always named "Image", and also if any property named "Image" is always image data?

I know there's also "CustomIconData", but I don't care about that. Just actions with "Image Well"s in them.

Sorry, I don't know and I wouldn't want to make a promise related to that.

Thanks, and I completely understand.

Hey Dan (@DanThomas)

Here is some thing I’ve put together for you from my Macro XML Snippets collection:

Everything seems to have the Image Property indeed. But there is one Action which has an Icon Property ( Set stream Deck Button Action) and one that has both ( OCR Action ).

Everything in detail below




<!-- Set Stream Deck Button to Image Action -->

I hope this will help you.

Wow! Thanks for the hard work!

Nr.5-need_input · July 28, 2024, 12:55pm

You’re welcome, Dan

I hope that I haven’t missed anything… it should be every action and condition or collection that has to do with Image wells. Had to cobble this together in less than thirty minutes before leaving home.

If I indeed forgot something please tell me … this will then probably not be there as a snippet in my Collection, too.

Greetings from Germany
