PlayStation Mobile UI Composer

[Potato4H3ad]

I have found the following issue:

Steps:

1. In the UI Composer, drop a Button widget on a scene => Button_1

2. Set the Background type to: Custom

3. Select the button and paste it on the scene. => Button_2

4. Save

5. Build

The copied button will get Background images: for example system_assets/button_9patch_normal.png Actually this idea is quite nice if it would run out-of-the box but ...

UI Composer generates the following code:

...

Button_2_custom.BackgroundNormalImage = new ImageAsset"/Application/assets/system_assets/button_9patch_normal.png");

...

Running the application will give:

System.IO.FileNotFoundException: File not found.

The reason fr this error is clear since there is no assets/system_assets/button_9patch_normal.png file yet.

And of course, it can be solved quite easily by ourselves but I am not sure what the idea behind this behaviour is and how we should deal with it.

Questions:

- Is this a future feature where the composer will automatically add the asset to the list of assets?

- Or are we supposed to create a system_assets folder in assets and add the images ourselves?

Hi Potato4H3ad,

Thank you for the bug report. This is not an intented behaviour and we will esclatate this bug.

As a temporary workaround, in UIComposer, on the pasted button, delete the path to the image which has been automatically set by UIComposer and this should fix your problems. You can then Build from there. 

The UIToolkit is bundled with its own textures (such as the button_9patch_normal.png) which are bundled at runtime.

You should not have to create a system_assets folder. 

Thanks again,

James.

This should be fixed in the next SDK.

Thanks again for reporting it.
