The OS 3.5 icon format is not written to the icon files until you use Icon Information to save them. You can simply check that by selecting one of these icons: in case that it gets a yellow glowing effect then it's displayed by my library in 256 colors. But on OS 3.x with my icon.library installed these icons are automatically converted to 256 colors when they are displayed. If Image2Icon creates OS4 icons you can watch them in 24 bit quality with AfA_OS, Scalos or OS4. It seems to use Image2Icon and does set the icons to 24 bit so I think when I tried I must have messed up the settings. You just have to put Eastern into your WBStartup drawer and adjust the tooltype settings for your needs, like SQ=BEST, DQ=BEST, MDP=256, DT=your picture viewer, and the image size (I use only MH=80). If you don't want to spend any time on creating icons by yourself, you could also try the tool Eastern from Stephan Rupprecht which is able to convert images on the fly into preview thumbnail icons, but that needs a fast CPU, of course. Image2Icon is an old program and I don't know how good that works.
Image2icon download download#
For best quality download the latest version from Aminet.
This procedure is correct, if you use my icon.library for displaying and converting the PNG icons. Right click on icon and go to information Once this is done, load time is much quicker (AS WB converts it to a proper icon) and the results are great but the downside is its rather time consuming and long winded.Īm I using Image2Icon correctly, is there a better way? Under Icon tab put the default tool as Sys:utilities/multiview then save Right click whilst in information and switch to "project" Right click on iton and go to information I did however manage to make a 24bit PNG work as you can see on the right but the process was very long windedĬopy over to my A500 The icon shows but is very slow and does not open so If you right click and go to information you can change one of the tooltypes first line to File=V42 which if I have read properly should make a 24 bit icon, though the quality improves its only by a very little. The only issue is this program only does 256 colour and looks terrible (Picture on the right) I came across an application called Image2Icon, it converts a picture into an icon for that picture with a thumbnail effect.
Hello All, I have been playing with icons, loading pictures like JPEGS on an Amiga 68K is slow, even with the vampire but loading icons is much quicker making it easy to view pictures before clicking on them to make the high res version.
