<![CDATA[Problem using SVGs in a BorderImage on the N950]]>Hi,

I've been using SVGs in my BorderImages on Symbian like this:

@
BorderImage {
source: "border.svg"
sourceSize: Qt.size(10, 10)
width: 100
height: sourceSize.height
border {
top: 1.5
right: 1.5
bottom: 1.5
left: 1
}
}
@

This rasterizes the SVG in the size I want and then uses the borders to stretch the image the way I want. Works perfectly.

Now when taking my project over to Harmattan Meego. Which is using QtQuick 1.1 if I'm not mistaken the log tells me that:
@
Invalid property assignment: "sourceSize" is a read-only property
@

Why has this changed? Is there some other way I'm supposed to use my SVGs with BorderImage that I'm not aware of?

Thanks for the replies!

I don't have the code or docs for both side-by-side at the moment, though. So, like I said, it's just a thought right now.

But still wondering why this limitation was introduced though.

@
sourceSize : QSize
@
[/quote]

What is interesting is that for all read-only properties.. the documentation standard is something like this

@
sourceSize : QSize read-only
@

Its confusing to see that its not followed though-out.

@
sourceSize : QSize

This property holds the actual width and height of the loaded image.

In BorderImage, this property is read-only.

See also Image::sourceSize.

But my question is why has this changed from previous versions of QtQuick?

It's not backwards compatible either (I cannot just write import QtQuick 1.0 and everything works as before).
