I'm way late on responding to this, but in my experience, there is no
need to choose the Windows *.ico files. Do your "get info" on
the .icns file you want, then just choose "New from clipboard" from
Preview's File menu (or Command-N). Then go ahead with rest of what
Klaus suggested as to how to save the file (PNG/Alpha) and import
into Rev. Still tedious... maybe a good job for AppleScript if it
hasn't been done already .

Hi Mark,
Hi all, I am a complete ignoramus when it comes to handling images,
icons and so-on.
I've downloaded some good freeware icons (http://www.fasticon.com/
downloads.html) for an app I'm making, and they're in the form of
folder icons ie. a bunch of empty folders which show their icons in
the finder (I'm on OS X).
If I "get info" and copy the icon from the the finder info window
and then paste onto my stack using "paste image", I get an
apparently empty image. If I use iconoghrapher to open the icon,
and then copy it, and "import image as control" in Rev, I get the
image, but it's background rectangle is white in some cases, or
half the image is invisible in others. This is to do with masks and
alpha data and stuff which I don't currently understand, I guess.
Can anyone suggest the easiest way to get these icons into my stack
such that they display properly?
well, the trick here is to download the WINDOWS icon pack :-)
That will contain a bunch of "*.ico" files but "Preview" can open
them!
The mac version contains "Adobe Photoshop Pict resource" files, as
told by the "Info" window,
but Photoshop cannot open them!
Since there are several images in one file, open the drawer in
"Preview" and click the
expand arrow fo the image on top of the drawer.
Select the icon you want to use by clicking/selecting it and choose
"Save as..." from the file menu.
Choose "PNG" as fileformat and check (if not already checked) "Alpha".
NOW you can import the image into Rev without problems!
A BIT tedious, but does work :-)
Hope that helps.
Thanks for any help,
Mark
