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?

This is a limitation in Icon Composer, which only offers a few basic sizes. 128 pixels is the largest it allows. The Finder will scale the icon if necessary, but 128 is the largest size that Icon Composer will save in the icns file. It's limitations have never had any ill effects in my icon files though, the Finder works fine with 128 px.

Now that I think about it, I wonder if having huge icon sizes in the icns file is what's messing up everything. I've never created a Mac icon with a stored image larger than 128. Maybe just the existence of extra images gives the Finder a heart attack?
