.info files

Aljrob · 10 March 2007, 18:37

Not sure if this is the right forum for this question, but here goes:

It's been a loooooong time since my Amiga days, and I've forgotten a lot. I'm trying to organise my HD in WinUAE, but when I create a new drawer in Workbench, it doesn't seem to be creating a .info icon file.

1) How do I create these easily?

2) How can I easily organise icons in generel? Any tips / programs to try?

Thanks,

Aljrob

Did you check the "Icons" option when you create a new drawer?

Oooo, not sure - I'm using WB 3.1 - is this checkbox in that OS version?

No, Thats not WB 3.1

The default requesters do not have that option.

To get the .info, you need to use the dropdown menu "New Folder", it will create a DEFAULT icon for you. If you do it through CLI, it will not.

Ok, I'll try that. With respect to my second question, is there a good icon management package that I can use to help me maintain my files? Features like copying icons to multiple target files / directories etc, adding default icons to non-iconed drawers etc?

I seem to remember something like this existing, but I've been away from the Amiga for too long...!

Use DoOpus.

The one in ClassicWB is set so if you select files you like to create default icons for just rightclick 'Icon Info' button.

That's the easies as far as I know.

Also there are other Icon tools in this WB package.
