Description James Pasley CLA 2012-07-30 10:43:37 EDT 
The advanced properties panel for the master page in the Report Designer contains a property called "Background image type". This property provides the option of Uri or Embedded image.

The embedded image option is not working. It's not possible to use an embedded image as a background image.

See this exchange on the forum for more details:

Proposed Patch

I've got something working.

Attached Patch.

Looking at the code I could not see anything that exposed the 'Image Type' setting, so code tests for their presence first

As my use case was primarily Embedded images, in the code attached, I've favoured Embedded images over URL Images, bu testing for them first.

Is there any progress on this issue?

I've been using a patched version of BIRT with the attached change for 3+ years in production systems.
