Description Belen Barros Pena 2013-04-22 14:51:27 UTC 
I should be able to an image type to the list provided in the Advanced Configuration dialog. This feature might be related to bug 3197.
Comment 1 Belen Barros Pena 2013-05-14 08:33:18 UTC 
We think that syncing IMAGE_TYPES between Hob and BitBake might solve this problem. We'll investigate
Comment 2 valentin 2013-08-28 14:57:19 UTC 
- all image types that are displayed in advancedsettingsdialog are taken from IMAGE_TYPES (meta/classes/image_types.bbclass)
- the image types found in IMAGE_FSTYPES are those who are built

Apologies for the bug report: it doesn't really explain very well what the problem is. 

It was reported to us that it is not possible to add image types to Hob. If the image types listed in the Advanced Configuration dialog are taken from IMAGE_TYPES, I should be able to edit that variable outside Hob and Hob should pick up the changes. So: if I add image type 'xyz' to IMAGE_TYPES, the advanced configuration dialog should show the 'xyz' image type for me to select.

Paul E tested and found it is not working as expected: Hob does not pick up the added image types. 

Valentin: could you repeat the test and check if it works for you?

Thanks!

Belén
