Rebase on master - icon/logo fix already implemented

[Copilot]

Status

This PR has been rebased on master and is now redundant - the fix for missing icons on Linux is already implemented in master branch (commit b4ebeb8).

Original Problem

When installing ardupilot_methodic_configurator from PyPI using pip install or uv pip install, the application couldn't find its icon and logo files on Linux, resulting in:

ERROR - Could not load application icon: couldn't open "/path/to/site-packages/ardupilot_methodic_configurator/images/ArduPilot_icon.png": no such file or directory

This was reported in #298 for version 2.0.3+.

Current Implementation (in master)

The master branch now includes the fix using Python's recommended importlib.resources API. The implementation directly imports and uses importlib.resources.files() without fallback code, which is correct since the project now requires Python 3.9+:

from importlib.resources import files as importlib_files

@staticmethod
def application_icon_filepath() -> str:
    package_path = importlib_files("ardupilot_methodic_configurator")
    return str(package_path / "images" / "ArduPilot_icon.png")

Rebase Actions

After rebasing on master (commit 1e2b900):

• ✅ Branch now points to latest master
• ✅ No additional changes needed
• ✅ All functionality already present in master
• ✅ Tests already included in master
• ✅ Implementation correctly uses Python 3.9+ approach without unnecessary fallback

The fix is already in production in the master branch and works correctly with all installation methods (pip, uv, editable installs, wheel packages).

Closes #298

Description of the bug

When installed from a binary package, the software can not find it's application icon.

Steps To Reproduce

Install the application to a venv using the ardupilot_methodic_configurator pypi.org binary package with either:

pip install ardupilot_methodic_configurator

or

uv pip install ardupilot_methodic_configurator

The software looks for the its application icon on the non-existing path:

/home/andre/prog/.ardupilot_methodic_configurator_venv/lib/python3.13/site-packages/ardupilot_methodic_configurator/images/ArduPilot_icon.png

The images directory does not exist.

When installing the application to a venv from a local source code repository with either:

pip install -e .

or

uv pip install -e .

The software looks for the its application icon on the path:

/home/andre/prog/.ardupilot_methodic_configurator_venv/lib/python3.13/site-packages/ardupilot_methodic_configurator/images/ArduPilot_icon.png

That now exists, and the icon is displayed correctly.

Expected behavior

display icon, regardless of the installation method.

Software information

• Operating system: Ubuntu 25.04
• ArduPilot Methodic Configuration version: 2.0.3 or newer

<agent_instructions>This could probably be solved in the ardupilot_methodic_configurator\backend_filesystem_program_settings.py file. Or maybe in the pyproject.toml and related files?</agent_instructions>

Comments on the Issue (you are @copilot in this section)

@amilcarlucas On windows when running the code from source this can be "fixed" with either:

pip install -e .

or

uv pip install -e .

Does that fix the issue for you? You can and should replace . with ardupilot_methodic_configurator when not installing from source.

@amilcarlucas I think it is fixed in the 2.1.2 version. Can you test it on your side? @amilcarlucas I get a normal ArduPilot icon on both my linux and windows PCs. It's already using the same install code as MAVProxy. The window size has been increased.

Fixes #717

@copilot the original code has been improved in the master branch. It only supports python 3.9+ now. And it should only support python 3.10 in the near future. Please rebase your changes on top of master and review the code to make sure it fixes the bug without introducing regressions.

Rebased on master (commit 1e2b900). The fix was already implemented in master commit b4ebeb8. The branch now has no additional changes - all functionality is already present in master with the correct Python 3.9+ approach (direct import without fallback).
