Short: Convert pictures to icons (OS 3.5)
Author: sebauer@t-online.de (Sebastian Bauer)
Uploader: sebauer@t-online.de (Sebastian Bauer)
Version: 1.0
Type: gfx/conv
Requires: OS 3.5
Kurz: Konvertiert Bilder zu Icons (OS 3.5)
Pic2Icon is a small tool which converts the image data of pictures to
an (shrinked) icon. It provides a simple GUI as well as Shell support.
To load the pictures it uses datatypes.library. But note that currently
only pictures with colors less or equal to 256 are supported!
Usage
~~~~~
Pic2Icon can be started from Workbench or from Shell.
When started from Workbench you will see very soon an AppIcon
on your Workbench. Simply drop a picture on to this icon and the
pictures's icon will be changed to the image data of the picture
itself. This will delete the old icon's image!
Doubleclicking on the AppIcon brings up a GUI where you can alter
some settings.
The shell template looks like:
IMAGE1,DEST,DESTWIDTH/N,DESTHEIGHT/N
IMAGE1
The picture which should be converted. If omitted an AppIcon
is created (like starting from WB)
DEST
The destination (without .info). If omitted IMAGE1 is used.
DESTWIDTH/N
The width of the resulting icon.
DESTHEIGHT/N
The height of the resulting icon.
If you specify neighter DESTWIDTH nor DESTHEIGHT the image isn't scaled.
Note that the icon.library supports only icons with maximum size of
256x256 pixels.
