Has the Amiga bug again
|
Read .info on a PC?
Hi all
Is there a Windows app that will open Amiga .info files? Thanks in advance |

Yes, WinUAE!
Seriously, though, I think it is the only Windows app that can. Steve. |

What do you mean "open"?
Directory Opus 9 for Windows will open icons as images and allow you to convert them to GIF/JPEG. Support is less than perfect. Only one palette setting, supports NewIcons but not OS3.5+ icons. Unfortunately Dr.Greg decided to move as far away from the Amiga he could and so he will not update any of the remnant Amiga features of DO I would have bought a copy if he had! |

IrfanView can show them and allows some tinkering.

How? Tried the latest version, standard plugins, and it says "File format not recognised". I tried "old icons", "new icons" and "os3.5 Icons" all the same.
Doesnt help if you rename the icons .IFF or .ILBM either Am I being dumb? Last edited by alexh; 07 September 2008 at 11:23. |

XnView also lists "Amiga icon (.info)" as a supported format. I can't be bothered to try it right now.

There's a BeOS tool called AmigaIcon that may be of some interest (depending on whether you can find anything else and how desperate you are ).
http://home.c2i.net/damnrednex/amigaicon/ Source code is also included and, since it's a BeOS app, it's fairly readable C++ code. Maybe someone wants to port the essential parts, I'm afraid I'm too busy to do it for a while. |

The XnView formats page is not very clear because it includes all file types supported by the backend NOT what is supported by the XnView GUI application. The NConvert command line application supports standard Amiga icons (NI and 3.5 icons don't work despite what the changelog says) while XnView itself does not.

WinAmicon works, it has quite a few problems with icons with non standard palettes just as Directory Opus does. If all you wanna do is RIP icon gfx then I say use DirectoryOpus9 it works most of the time and is easier to use.
@ Zipper It has to be a 3rd party plugin. Find out what it's called. Last edited by alexh; 07 September 2008 at 19:37. |
