[Qt-qml] Image { pixmap } is gone :( Can't use QIcons anymore

[Stephen Kelly]

Hello,

The pixmap property has been removed.

http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-11980

This came as a great surprise to us because we are using it and it is
already very late in the release cycle to be removing things like that. The
replacement

Does not satisfy our usecase because it assumes that all you have in qml is
a name of a pixmap you want, not the actual image.

QML also does not support QIcons, though in the model API that's what you
have for the Qt::DecorationRole. We have a simple method of putting the icon
into the qml scene:


      Image {
          id: collectionIcon
          pixmap: KDE.iconToPixmap( model.decoration, height );
          width: 48; height: 48
      }


QPixmap KDEIntegration::iconToPixmap(const QIcon& icon, int size )
{
  return icon.pixmap( size );
}

Now that that's not possible anymore.

How do we show QIcons in QML now?

All the best,

An unhappy Steve.
