Sometimes Macintosh icons and resources contain a name. When this option is selected IconShop will ignore the name in the resource and will use the name of the icon file instead.
When this option is selected IconShop will show missing icon images as empty squares. When the option is selected only those icons will be shown that have an image in the selected format.
When this option is selected IconShop will ignore the palette of an icon image when looking for duplicates. This way icon images that have the same bit pattern are more likely to be recognized as duplicates even when there are subtle color differences.
This drop list allows you to select an image format which will be shown when open a library. If no icons have images of the selected format the best matching format is chosen. If you select Last used format the librarian will remember the last used format when you close IconShop.
When this option is selected IconShop will associate itself with icon libraries every time it starts. This way you can start IconShop simply by double clicking on icon libraries in Explorer.
When this option is turned on IconShop will cache the bitmaps it creates to draw the icons of the current library to speed up scrolling and library display. This uses GDI resources and can causes Windows 9x to run low on GDI resources.
When this option is selected IconShop will use its built-in palette to convert 256-color icons. When it is not selected IconShop will try to load the palette file specified in the Filename edit box. If the filename is invalid or specifies an invalid palette file IconShop will fall back on its built-in palette.
This edit box contains the filename of the palette file.
When you click this button a standard Open File dialog appears allowing you to select a palette file.
This image shows the colors in the current conversion palette.
Select this option to import cicn (Color Icon) resources from a Macintosh binary if they are present.
Select this option to make IconShop ignore the alpha-channel of 32-bit Macintosh icons. The following image shows the same 24-bit icon, once converted with alpha information, the second one without alpha information.
IconShop will use the alpha information in a TIFF image, if present, to create the icon mask when converting a TIFF image. Turn this option on to ignore the alpha information and create a completely opaque icon.
The shown color will be treated as transparent when bitmap images are imported or when they are pasted from the clipboard. Press the button to select a new color using the displayed color dialog.
The shown color will be used as the background color of icon images when they are exported as bitmap images or when they are put on the clipboard. Press the button to select a new color using the displayed color dialog.
