IconToGIF is a freeware utility to convert icons into transparent GIF images suitable for using on WWW pages. It is useful for developers who want to put an icon of their product on their page. The application is not native on PowerMacs, just because it really takes no time to execute.
Usage
Just drag a file, folder, or drive onto IconToGIF, or use the Open... item in the File menu. A file with the extension ".gif" will be created in the directory containing the source.
Scripting IconToGIF
IconToGIF handles a simple scripting command to make a gif file of the icon of a file passed in. See the sample script for an example.
Acknowlegements
In writing this program, I used Ammon Skidmore's StandardGetAnything routine, and the gd gif-manipulating library created by Thomas Boutell and the Quest Center at Cold Spring Harbor Labs. For finding the icons, I use James W. Walker's FindIcon code.
