Icon Editor in Classic Workbench

Peter · 10 July 2014, 01:16

There is an icon editor (or icon creator) in Classic Workbench - can anyone tell me what it is called please...

Thanks.

Hi Pete, which version of CWB are you using?

The ADV/ADV SP/P96 versions have a nice Icon Creator, Right Click>System>Image-Icon (You can also find it in Sys:Programs)

Once loaded you can drag any image file (like a jpg) onto the Icon to make a cool Icon file, it's how I made the Game Icons for my Docky Bar you see here:

To edit Icons, Just Right Click>System>Icon Edit

Hi Steve - I'm not using Classic Workbench at the moment - I have BetterWB set up but I want to create some icons and I have been racking my brains trying to remember which icon editors were included in the Classic Workbench package as I have used them in the past - The one you can drag icons to is called something like "Pic to Icon" ?? but I'm sure there is another editor in the CW setup somewhere - I used the Advance pack in the past.

I`m using PPaint and/or newicon (from Thomas) and Image2Icon. What seems a good solution for at least OS3.1.

As said above it's called 'Image-Icon'

You can grab it out of CWB or probabaly get it on Aminet.

If you don't have access to WinUAE I can get it and lha it for you tonight.

Cheers, That's one of the Icon editors Steve.

I am sure there is another actual editor, where you can create Icons, backgrounds, add text etc included in CW - it's not the standard WB Icon Edit tool.

Maybe I am going mad but I am sure this other icon editing tool was part of CW Advance.

I'll have a look for it later I've got images setup will all versions of CWB which I can load up with WinUAE.

Thanks Steve!

fitzsteve · 10 July 2014, 23:41

Here ya go mate!

Peter · 11 July 2014, 00:56

Iconian - pretty sure that it - cheers Steve, many thanks!

But... I am getting an error - I am missing "Chunkyimage.class V2"

Could you grab that from CW and let me have it please mate - not sure if it is on Aminet?

Update - in fact, Steve could you do me a massive favour and lha the classes drawer from CW and let me have it - I think there are quite a few I have missing and I will just copy them over in one go...

fitzsteve · 11 July 2014, 09:09

Will do mate but it won't be until this evening, working these days lol...

Peter · 11 July 2014, 09:18

Is the one from CWB Adv v27 OK? Might get a chance to do it shortly?

fitzsteve · 11 July 2014, 09:27

That should be fine C

The bits came from cwb full v28 but the classes are probably the same.

crazyc · 11 July 2014, 09:39

Try this - couldnt find any mention of V2. But I couldnt either in v28 Lite or in V28 3.9,

Cheers
C

Peter · 11 July 2014, 09:41

@crazyc - Many Thanks!

@Steve - 2 jobs? (Gasp...)

I'm looking after my Dad now as a full time carer - to be honest I had more time on my Amiga (and video games in general) when I was was working full time.

Peter · 11 July 2014, 10:31

@crazyc & Steve

Could I also ask for the Libs drawer from Classic Workbench as well guys?

Sorry to be a pain in the ar*e - you only realise when you start using a basic 3.1 install just how many other things you need...

Be grateful...

crazyc · 11 July 2014, 10:33

I can do cwb adv v 27 or cwb lite v28?

Peter · 11 July 2014, 10:35

cwb adv would be fantastic - thanks!
