Hi,
I control-clicked the file and it doesn't seem to be a package, it
looks like a regular file. If I open it with ThemePark, I can see the
contents.
All the Best

-- An example is the .rtfd 'file' that is created by saving an RTF
document with graphics in TextEdit. In that case, it was really just
a folder with a .png and a .rtf file inside. This is what Apple came
up with when they had to move their 'Resource Fork' metaphor to a
different file system.
I quite like the OSX packaging system of today (making a Rev
standalone inside a package with splash - I have it all, a stand alone
for the client but an easily modified system with all the source code
and tools), but in the pre-rev Hypercard world, resource forks were a
godsend. That's where the XCMDS, sounds, pictures, code, fonts,
everything except data was stored, which of course was in the DATA
fork. I used many, many, TEXT resources like we use custom properties
in Rev today. You could even put executable Hypertalk into these
resources. This was a system thing; and other apps could get access to
the same resources.
This is not the same now in Rev as pictures and sounds are stored in a
proprietary format, I'm sure to preserve cross-platform compatibility.
Say, nobody's written a 'Resource Mover' for Rev yet.....
maybe I will.

If it is just a one-time thing to extract particular icons, you
could save a lot of time by just using Graphic Converter. It will
extract all the icons for you and save them to disk.
GC will open .icns files, but not MacOS X .rsrc files, so I'd
still need a way to get the .icns resources into separate files.
But , no, unfortunately I want to be able to obtain the rendered
icon from a .icns file and this file is stored on a removable
volume. When the volume is mounted, I want to be able to grab the
icon from the file on the volume.
Is there really no way to access MacOS X .rsrc (theme) files under
RunRev or a way get an Icon and a rendered image?
