Short: Convert pictures to icons (OS 3.5) Author: sebauer@t-online.de (Sebastian Bauer) Uploader: sebauer t-online de (Sebastian Bauer) Type: gfx/conv Version: 1.1 Requires: OS 3.5 Architecture: m68k-amigaos 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. CROP/S Crops the picture if it is larger then 256x256 PLANAR/S Also creates old planar icon information 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. History ~~~~~~~ Version 1.1 (28.12.99) - crop option which crops the picture if it is larger than 256x256 (suggested by Nils Görs) - also optionally can create 4 color planar icons (suggested by Ben Vost) - supports the Snapshot and UnSnapshot menu items from the icon menu for the app icon Version 1.0 (05.12.99) - first public release Future ~~~~~~ - support also 24 bit pictures and remap them. - specify the number of pens which should be used Visit my homepage http://home.t-online.de/home/sebauer/ (german version) http://home.t-online.de/home/sebauer/english.html (english version) Here you can find the latest version of my other programs SimpleFind3, SimpleHTML, SimplePac and of course Pic2Icon.
