Short: V1.12 Drop file on AppIcon to change icon. Configurable.
Author: tim_jackson@bigfoot.com (Tim Jackson)
Uploader: tim_jackson@bigfoot.com (Tim Jackson)
Version: 1.12
Type: util/wb
Requires: WB2.04+.
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.
