After migrating our application to Notes 851 we are finding that all icons assigned to computed outline entries do not display correctly
Note: We are trying to use the Java component
IMPACT: SEVERE
This problem is preventing us from successfully migrating our application to Notes 8.5.1.
WHAT WE NEED:
We would like to learn and understand why this issue is occurring and what we can do to workaround the problem so that we can enable the our applications to work in the R8.51 mail template.
DETAILS:
During our code migration from a mail template based on R6.5 to the Vanilla Lotus Notes Mail Template (R8.51) we have encountered a serious issue with the Mail Navigator (Outline).
Current Functionality
In the current version of our application, based on a pre-Notes 8 mail template, we have a number of outline entries that have computed actions. These computed actions have associated icons.
- This is the standard Mail outline in Notes 7.02. Notice how all icons from ‘At Office’ to ‘Admin’ display correctly. All icons are different as we would expect:
(Unable to post screen shots in dev works)
- These outlines are computed actions:
Things work differently in R8.51 and this breaks our app.
-
This same behaviour is not seen when we migrate our codebase to the current Lotus Notes 8.5.1. Mail Template.
-
For some reason the entries do not display the correct icon, as defined in the Image field of the entry
-
If we modify any of these outline entries to point directly to a Named Element then the designated icon will display correctly
-
So there would appear to be an issue with the fact that these outline entries are computed actions
Thanks for any help you can offer
