Widget for selecting image variable and for fixing paths #244

Open janezd opened 6 months ago

Current heuristics for fixing paths only do so for string attributes with type=image attribute. Orange can't guess much more, but this is not enough.

I suggest a new edit-domain-like widget that would show all applicable variables (I suppose strings and discrete variables) and the user could decide which would have type=image and (s)he'd also be able to choose a path.

The alternative is to use Domain Editor. However, nobody thinks about it (I forgot about this option, too), and it is unfriendly (in particular, setting the directory). The user is also not necessarily aware why images aren't loading. A dedicated widget would by itself represent a hint.
