- Short: V1.3 of the shell command to copy icons
- Author: sebauer@t-online.de (Sebastian Bauer)
- Uploader: sebauer@t-online.de (Sebastian Bauer)
- Version: 1.3
- Type: util/cli
- Requires: OS 2.0
- Kurz: V1.3 des Shell Befehls zum Iconkopieren
-
- IconCopy is a small and simple shell command to copy an icon image
- from a source to a destination. No tooltypes will be overwritten if
- there is already an icon at the destination. If it is not started on
- a OS 3.5 system it uses the newicon.library if available.
-
- I wrote it because I needed something like this for the Installation
- Script of SimpleFind. The installer itself cannot do this at this
- moment (I think) and so IconCopy was born.
-
- Feel free to use and spread it.
-
-
- Usage
- ~~~~~
- Since IconCopy is a shell command it can not be started from
- Workbench ;-) (but if you do it anywhy IconCopy will do nothing)
- and so only a shell template exists:
- SOURCE/A,DEST/A,CHECK/S,UPDATE/S,CONVERTNEWICON/S
-
- SOURCE/A
- The source icon (without ".info")
-
- DEST/A
- The destination (without ".info")
- If there is already an icon, only the image is copied otherwise the
- complete icon is copied.
-
- CHECK/S
- If the icon with the DEST name the icon is not copied.
-
- UPDATE/S
- If dest icon exists, the tooltypes of the source icon, which don't
- exist on in the dest icon are also copied, but marked as deactivated
- (via the '()' pair).
-
- CONVERTNEWICON/S
- If the user has OS3.5 installed every NewIcon which is copied by IconCopy
- is converted to the OS3.5 icon format.
-
- Example
- ~~~~~~~
- IconCopy SYS:Prefs RAM:Test
- (copies the SYS:Prefs icon to RAM:Test)
-
- For a more complete example, look into the installation script for
- SimpleFind3

- ~~~~~~
- Enough for my needs...but I'm open for suggestions

-
-
- Notes
- ~~~~~
- Since probably no normal person will install this command on
- his/her system you must include it, if your installation script
- use this command. However it's enough to include the binary only.
