Dear Gimpies, I recently encountered the need to edit Windows icons and wanted to use the Gimp as usual, when I noticed that apparently Windows icons aren't supported by default (that's with 1.2.2, but a look at 1.2.3's sources suggests the same). A search one the web brought up half-finished plugins at best. So here's my try, the plugin supports both loading and saving of multiple icons in a file at 2/4/8/32 bpp. You can choose each icon's own color depth (and thus the color map that's created for it) in a preview dialog when saving the icon. I've included a little help page that explains things a bit. I've tested it quite a bit and checked that the generated files do in fact work with icon editors in windows, but of course I may have missed things. The plugin source is available at http://www.whoop.org/downloads/gimp-winicon-plugin-0.1.0.tar.gz I haven't uploaded it to the plugin registry yet because I thought I'd wait for your feedback first (I'm fairly new to libgimp). Assuming you like it, is it okay to announce it on gimp-announce or is posting to that list not open to the public? Cheers, keep it up, Christian. -- ________________________________________________________________________ http://www.whoop.org
