Hello, In the past, I used FolderItem.IconFamily to get icons of files/folders inside a given folder and stored that into a file (using a BinaryStream). This was really fast, used very low CPU and the resulting file were compressed; all was nice.
Now that IconFamily is gone, I use the NSWorkspace way: if Item=nil then Return nil dim n As NSImageMBS=NSWorkspaceMBS.iconForFile(Item) n.setSize Size,Size Return n.CopyPictureWithMask With this method, trying with the same folder as the “old” way (which contains only 25 files), each call to obtain an icon takes around 4-5 seconds, meaning around 30 seconds for all the sizes I take (with IconFamily, I didn't have to grab several “arbitrary” sizes to guess I saved all icons); 10 minutes were taken to treat the entire folder of 25 files. The CPU ran as 200% constantly for IconAgent and the resulting file is 234 Mb (the original folder being 16.8 Mb). Clearly, the NSWorkspace way isn't the good one for my needs (is that just used to show a single, eventual, icon to the user?). Which other method would work? Thanks. _______________________________________________ mbsplugins@monkeybreadsoftware.info mailing list %(list_address)s https://ml-cgn08.ispgateway.de/mailman/listinfo/mbsplugins_monkeybreadsoftware.info
