info on creating info files icons ?
OK this is probably real easy, but i think i must be getting old and my memory is failing me (well i am almost 40!)
Anyway, I'm sure there was an easy way of creating the .info files ie icons for files that do not have icons. If someone could give my brain a nudge in the right direction. then maybe my grey matter will kick in. Yes i know I'm living up to my nick name Dimlow! There was a time i was called dimlow because i was so smart with computers but now as i get older the true meaning of the word is showing through |

Which OS are you using?
I think you can just use the icon editor in WB. |

I remember there was an addicon shell command or something like that but it might have not come with the OS.
If everything fails, just open up IconEdit, make whatever icon of the type you need and save it as the icon for the file you want it added to. I think you can open up a file and get a default in there if memory serves right. |

Nova, yes I'm using OS 3.1
Ah yes icon edit, that was it, how could i forget that! but also i installed Classic WB and found it had a nice little tool that you drag a source icon and a destination icon on to its window and it will update the icon for you! I'm my stupidness i was looking for a menu item in WB Cheers guys Gary |

I think there's an Add Icon function on DOpus' toolbar somewhere (I think you access it by pressing the right mouse button on one of the toolbar buttons, can't remember which one right now though), simply highlight the file you want to add an icon too and use the Add Icon function.

True.
Dirwork 2 has the same function, I suppose they copied it from dopus |

I've actually got a bunch of neat-looking icons collected together in a folder called My Icons (or something close to that) selected over the years from out of various Amiga icon collections and stuff. I collected drawer icons, document icons, disk icons, and so on. Even made a couple myself for specialized uses. Then I copy them over as needed via DirOpus.

I now use ClassicWB, comes with a nice little tool in a Launch bar, I use it all the time now, keep all my icons looking good. Just drag a source icon onto the window then the destination icon, works a treat, nice and easy , and i keep the look of ClassicWB's Magic icons. Now all I need is Jens Scan doubler so i can use a nice LCD and my Amiga will be finished
