03/09/2023, 8:54 PMyou can defo exclude things based on conditions... "if" and "unless" in module.xml... core has an example of this - p

03/09/2023, 8:55 PMif I dont include an extension in the icon="item" it doesnt find closest item I assume - b
bright-gpu-74537
03/09/2023, 8:55 PMso the "exclude" will... well, exclude, things... and that (like any node in a module.xml or ui xml) can be conditionally evaluated - b

03/09/2023, 8:57 PMbut the simple answer is no, not currently, currently resource names are file names - b

03/09/2023, 8:57 PMthere is an asset plugin system but im not sure it will work in this way - p
purple-businessperson-14467
03/09/2023, 8:58 PManyways, I can make do for now - b
bright-gpu-74537
03/09/2023, 8:59 PMoh, i see, like a filter of what to include? - p
purple-businessperson-14467
03/09/2023, 8:59 PMwhat to include and maybe to use the ext when finding - b

03/09/2023, 8:59 PMthats not going to get rid of you static var though, is it? - b
bright-gpu-74537
03/09/2023, 8:59 PMhmmmm, right, yeah... its quite esoteric though - p
purple-businessperson-14467
03/09/2023, 9:00 PMya, true - b
bright-gpu-74537
03/09/2023, 9:01 PMi think an asset plugin in a nicer idea... i just have to remember how they work... iirc, before an asset name is looked up, it passes through a list of optional plugins that can change that name - b

03/09/2023, 9:01 PM(this was primarily for kha) - b

03/09/2023, 9:02 PMso, you could so something like
... ...<resource-plugin id="addSuffix" suffix=".png" unless="html" /><resource-plugin id="addSuffix" suffix=".svg" if="html" /> - p
purple-businessperson-14467
03/09/2023, 9:03 PMwell could it filter the include and make it findable by image and image.png - b
bright-gpu-74537
03/09/2023, 9:03 PMthen you do
and it would add the suffix<image resource="foo/bar/myImage" /> - p
purple-businessperson-14467
03/09/2023, 9:03 PMthat would work yes - b

03/09/2023, 9:03 PMit feels more flexible... maybe more complex though... - p
purple-businessperson-14467
03/09/2023, 9:03 PMit was harder to grep for me but...idk - b
bright-gpu-74537
03/09/2023, 9:05 PMtrue, but the other way is "magic" and im not sure this is a "standard" use case... is it? I mean, it seems like adding magic for "this edge case" is hmmmmm, whereas adding a system (maybe more complex / flexible) that can work around this edge case (and others) feels more right... dunno... will have to think - b
bright-gpu-74537
03/09/2023, 9:07 PMlike, what if all your resources were named .ang (for some reason) and you couldnt be bothered to rename them (for some reason)... would it make sense to add a "rename" into the resource system or a "rename" as a plugin? I think probably the latter - p

03/09/2023, 9:08 PMbyteme not being legitimate extension mind you - b

03/09/2023, 9:08 PMyou forgot:<... splitBy="," replace3rdIndexWith="bob" /> - p
