Bug 29446 requests feedback when a linked resource has a missing target location (e.g., it points to c:\temp and that directory does not exist). A linked resource can also be bound to a path variable that does not exist. These two scenarios are similar and should probably have the same icon. File name will be org.eclipse.ui\icons\full\ovr16\linkwarn_ovr.gif Size should be 7x8, like the existing linked resource decorator.
Is it possible to get the icon by Thursday? Bug 29446 is marked with the RC1 milestone. The RC1 build is Friday.
underway with this today, aiming delivery Thurs.
confirming: Kelvin working on this for delivery Thurs. :)
Thanks for the quick turnaround. Is it possible to still have link context in the warning icon? The current icon looks exactly like the Java warning icon. This may be confusing since the only thing distinguishing the icon from the Java warning icon is the position in the lower right corner vs. lower left. Nick, I released the changes. If you want to try it just create a linked resource with a non-existent target.
I agree. Having some variant of the current link icon (e.g. make it red) would be better.
Only changing the color would be problematic for accessibility. Kelvin sent an icon that is a combination of link arrow and warning shape and color. That should work well.
I released one of Kelvin's icons that is a combination of link shape (box) and warning color/exclamation point. This is more recognizable as having to do with links than the reverse (warning shape/link arrow).
