Navigation panel does not show images by default with newly created XAF v18.2 projects

Hi Vera, hi Francisco

Strangely the new accordion navbar does not show images, even when you set ShowImages=true in the application model (which is its default value, by the way).

I have written a quick-fix using a WindowController that I'd like to share with you below. But I suppose the missing images can be considered a bug.

C#
public class AccordionImagesWindowController : WindowController  
{  
    public AccordionImagesWindowController()  
    {  
        InitializeComponent();  
        TargetWindowType = WindowType.Main;  
    }  
    protected override void OnActivated()  
    {  
        base.OnActivated();  

        ShowNavigationItemController navigationController = Frame.GetController<ShowNavigationItemController>();  
        if (navigationController != null)  
        {  
            Frame.GetController<ShowNavigationItemController>().ShowNavigationItemAction.CustomizeControl +=  
            ShowNavigationItemAction_CustomizeControl;  
        }  
    }  
    protected override void OnDeactivated()  
    {  
        ShowNavigationItemController navigationController = Frame.GetController<ShowNavigationItemController>();  
        if (navigationController != null)  
        {  
            Frame.GetController<ShowNavigationItemController>().ShowNavigationItemAction.CustomizeControl -=  
            ShowNavigationItemAction_CustomizeControl;  
        }  

        base.OnDeactivated();  
    }  

    private void ShowNavigationItemAction_CustomizeControl(object sender, CustomizeControlEventArgs e)  
    {  
        AccordionControl accordion = e.Control as AccordionControl;  
        if (accordion == null)  
            return;  

        AddImages(accordion.Elements);  

    }  

    private void AddImages(AccordionControlElementCollection elements)  
    {  
        foreach (var element in elements)  
        {  
            element.ImageOptions.ImageLayoutMode = ImageLayoutMode.Stretch;  
            var cai = (element.Tag as ChoiceActionItem);  
            if (cai != null && cai.ImageName != "BO_Folder")  
            {  
                element.Image = ImageLoader.Instance.GetImageInfo(cai.ImageName).Image;  
            }  
            AddImages(element.Elements);  
        }  
    }  

}
