How to use user made png/jpeg icons in QGIS 2.0?

Question

I can only add svg icons in qgis 2.0. How can i use png or jpeg or gif images as icons in qgis2.0?

Answer 1

This is currently not supported. The only way you are able to do this is to embed or link a png in a SVG file.

Adding support for loading other image formats shouldn't be too hard for a future version.
