- ReadMeFirst AddIcon Version 1.7 (C) 1992 by H.P.G FreeWare
-
-
- A Short Overview:
- =================
-
- AddIcon is a cli tool that enables you to copy icons to files
- and dirs in a very easy manner.
-
- AddIcon has a lot of cli options.
-
- AI supports PatternMatching (that means use of #? ~#? [a-u]) in
- filenames like original AmigaDOS standart.
-
- AddIcon needs OS 2.xx. Version 36 may have problems, because of
- some functions which have not been implemented in this version.
- Because of using a lot of the new OS 2.0 features, AI is not
- able to run under OS 1.2 and 1.3.
- It is recommented to use Kickstart versions greater than Version
- 36.
-
- The icons, AI adds to the specified files, must be located in
- the logical device or assign 'Icons:'.
- You can simply copy the Icons on this disk to your WBench disk.
- Then you have to insert the following line in to your
- Startup-Sequence:
-
- Assign Icons: <name of the dir your icons are located>
-
- AddIcon automatically knows many different types of files.
- AI recognizes the type of an file first by analysing its suffix
- '.xx' .
-
- E.g. a file with extension '.c' will always be analysed as a C
- source.
-
- Files with suffixes '.ilbm' will be recognized as PICTURES.
-
- If AI finds a file without suffix it looks in the file for
- Iff-Chunks.
-
- If AI finds no chunk it reads the file. If the file contains
- more than 90% ASCII chars it would be handeled as an ASCII file.
-
- Warning: On large files it can take a lot of time to read the file.
-
- If AI can find the type of file in this way it copies the icon
- according to the found type to it.
-
- Surely you can change the icons or use yourown icons with AI.
- So you can change e.g. the DefaultTool of a project icon to
- yourown need.
-
- If you use e.g TurboText as text editor, you can change the
- DefaultTool of the ASCII icon simply to 'c:TTX'. If you now
- doubleclick on this icon, TTX will be automatically called
- with the filename of the icon.
-
- This does the same with all other project icons. But the
- programms you want to start, must have be the ability of
- extended selections via WBench.
