-
- IconHandler is a program to help manage file icons on Workbench. Say you
- create a file using a program which does not save icons with the file or
- saves them with icons you don't like. You might want to give that file an
- icon, or perhaps remove it altogether. Normally this would involve either
- copying an icon from another file using the CLI or using an icon editor to
- load an icon from another file and save it out to your new file. Or
- deleting the icon file manually in the case of wanting to remove it.
-
- But no longer. :)
-
- Now, you can simply have an AppIcon on your desktop which sits and waits
- for you to drop files on it. Then you can select from a list of your
- favourite icons, click and...bang! Your file has a new icon! Or you can
- remove an unwanted icon at a click.
-
- It's fully configurable, with GUI configuration editor to allow you to
- add/remove/edit an unlimited number of icon types.
-
- Features:
- --------
- - Fully configurable for which icons to use
- - Full GUI configuration editor
- - Fully configurable AppIcon
- - Font sensitive
- - Uses little memory (main program is only 56K)
- - Works with multiple files dropped on AppIcon
-
- Recent Changes:
- --------------
- Changes from V2.2 to V2.3
-
- - Oops. I broke the bit which gives you default types+REMOVE if the
- config file doesn't exist. AGAIN. Fixed.
- - Oops 2: If you had an odd number of lines in the config file for some
- reason (manual editing?) it didn't work at all (only broken in 2.2).
- Fixed.
- - When you choose "Save As..." from the Config Editor, you now get a
- proper "save" requester (i.e. the background of the requester is a
- different colour, as the Style Guide specifies).
-
- Changes from V2.1 to V2.2
-
- - added 'Show Icon Information' option in the Configuration Editor, to let
- you see what icons look like and other information.
- - added MAINGUISIZE and CONFIGEDSIZE tooltypes
- - added 'Add..' option in the Config Editor so you can add an icon using a
- filerequester instead of drag 'n' drop, if you prefer...
- - added an informational display below the listview in the Configuration
- Editor showing the source filename of the selected icon type
- - removed informational window which appeared when you added a new icon to
- the list (it seemed a bit pointless, bit of a hangover from the days
- before the Configuration Editor)
- - bugfix: the close gadgets on the "Edit Item" and "Add Item" windows now
- work
- - bugfix: the filerequesters now work properly! Before, there were
- problems with certain paths

- list is empty, removing the possibility for some Enforcer hits
