The documentation for Option 2 in "Build resources into your app package" was missing critical information about how <AppxDefaultResourceQualifiers> overrides ALL default qualifier values, not just the ones specified. This caused users to lose built-in defaults like Scale=200, resulting in missing scaled images in packaged apps.

Problem

When users followed the documentation to add:

<AppxDefaultResourceQualifiers>Language=en;es;fr</AppxDefaultResourceQualifiers>

They would lose the built-in Scale=200 default and other qualifier defaults, causing their apps to be missing 200% scale images and other resources.

Solution

  • Added Important warning explaining that <AppxDefaultResourceQualifiers> replaces ALL defaults
  • Updated examples to show the complete syntax including Scale=200 and all other default qualifiers
  • Provided both options: Complete syntax for preserving all defaults, and shorter syntax with clear warnings about consequences
  • Enhanced Option 1 consistency by showing the complete qualifier list in priconfig.default.xml examples
  • Added cross-references to the complete documentation for default values

The changes directly address the specific issue of missing scaled images while providing comprehensive guidance for all qualifier defaults.

Fixes #4344.
