Freeware Icon Editor

Hello.

Don't know how many of you are bothered about creating your own icons for EXEs, but I just found this, which is free, and very easy to use.

Perhaps this site could use a section containing nothing but categorised links to useful shareware and freeware? Toolbox section is just for Blitz-made stuff (with the exception of IDEs), right?

Looks very nice. Does it have the ability to bundle several icons into one .ico file? That's the one feature I always found was missing in free icon editors - although this one is new to me - and it's very handy to do so that you can embed that one resource and then the OS will determine which one gets used automatically.

Yep. Just import your image (say, 256x256), pick which icons sizes you want, it does the rest.

Cool. Downloading it now. Thanks for the tip.

ah cool, I'd always wanted multi-size support too. Does it scale them down with a nice algorithm like a proper paint package or does it use some horrible crap interpolated technique like windows?

I've made an icon for my game - it scaled it down really well.

Doesnt gimp do icons? (i think it does, not sure)

Cool, loaded a PNG, scaled it, saved as an icon, Delphi loved it, the end. My needs are simple :)

Nice find GfK.

Dan: I couldn't get Gimp to have multiple icons in one file.

ah..

You could however use reshack to attach them all into the exe (mabe an ico too??)

You really shouldn't be advertising any tools that can be used to hack windows. :P

I've used reshack for a single 32x32 icon but really I want to include a proper icon file and this app sounds like it'll do it.
