Chris: My name is Marc EMILE from Axialis Software, author of IconWorkshop. May I ask you what version of IconWorkshop you used to generate the ICNS file? FYI, in the latest version 6.31 we've fixed an issue in 256x256 and 512x512 formats. If you used an older version, could you update to 6.31

Thanks, Marc. Good to see your presence on this list. :-) I will have our artist make sure he's using the latest version and try again. That could very well have been the problem, seeing as how the artwork he sent me seemed just fine. On Aug 22, 2008, at 4:24 AM, Marc EMILE - Axialis

Forgive me if this has been covered in the past, but I can't seem to find any info about it. We have a graphics artist in our company who is trying to create some program icons, and for some reason the Mac icns file just isn't working quite right. Revolution builds the standalone without

Hi there Chris, As I recall you need to paste the icon file yourself be done by right-clicking on the .rev file (???) and then use the 'show info' option. Then copy and paste the icon file and then built the app. Greetings, William 2008/8/20 Chris Sheffield [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Forgive me if

I don't think that's necessary. At least, it never has been in the past. Specifying an icon to use in the Standalone Application Settings is supposed to apply that icon to the bundle. I'm pretty sure it's something in the way the icon is getting created in IconWorkshop that Rev doesn't

Hi Chris, The icon doesn't appear, because the OS doesn't know about it yet. You can touch the icon with the shell function, you can zip and unzip the file, or get the info window and click on the icon in that window followed by a press on backspace key. There might be more tricks to

No go. Already tried that. That was the first thing I tried cause I've had that happen many times before. But usually in that case there is still an icon, whether it's the generic app icon or whatever. In this case, however, there is absolutely no icon. In the Finder, I see the name of the

Hi Chris, What do you mean with in the Finder and blank? If you open the application package, go to standalone.app/contents/ resources. This folder should contain a file Revolution.icns and RevolutionDoc.icns. If these icons have a file size equal to 0 or if they simply don't exist, just

By in the Finder I mean in a Finder window looking at the application. Doesn't matter if I'm using icon, list, or column view. By blank I mean blank. :-) No icon appears next to the application name. You know how in a Finder window you see your application names with an the icon in front

Hi Chris, I'm sure the specs are somewhere available, but I have no need for them. I use Apple's Icon Composer and I have never had any problem with that. If you think that IconWorkshop creates bad icons, give Icon Composer a try. It is included with Apple's developer tools, which are

Hi, The 512^2 icons are specific to Leopard and Snow. It is indeed possible that other versions of OSX can't cope with this, but Leopard and Snow shouldn't have any problems with this. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering

I'm pretty sure the 512 size at least is only supported under Leopard. Not sure about the 256 size. I'm running Leopard, but this app will have to run on 10.3 and up. So maybe we should simply stick with the 128 size? On Aug 20, 2008, at 10:42 AM, J. Landman Gay wrote: Chris Sheffield

This is a limitation in Icon Composer, which only offers a few basic sizes. 128 pixels is the largest it allows. Actually, the latest Icon Composer under Leopard has 512, 256, 128, 32, and 16 pixel sizes. Chris, if you still have the problem after you check on the artwork, the other thing
