I don't know (and I can't emphasize that enough), but it would seem
possible that there are particular algorithms that could shrink PNG's
to the specific sizes required for the various OSes while retaining
acceptable quality. What do the freeware guys use to do what they
do? Maybe Rev could license their algorithms cheaply and
incorporate them if they're not freely available. (I'm not trying
to spend Rev's money, it's just a thought.) As I say, I'm clueless to
all except the mysteries and inconvenience of creating x-platform
icons, and it's not because I haven't tried to learn.

Oh, I'm not sure about that. If you look at the free and commercial
icon
editors mentioned, you'll see there's quite a bit to them beyond
simply
resizing a PNG. An embedded field where you could drag an image
would be
convenient, but it would probably result in poor-quality icons at the
smaller sizes and bit depths.
But, you might want to file the enhancement request in Bugzilla
anyway :)

Wouldn't it be nice if the standalone builder itself had the option
of an icon field into which one simply dragged the image file that
one wanted to use for the application icon and Rev itself, via
whatever extension magic necessary, created icon sets for
Windows, OS
X, and Linux... on the fly?
That would be a most excellent use of RunTime resources. Normally,
eye-candy and similar features are 'last' on my list of wants/
needs, but
the creation and application of an icon for executables is a pain
even
with professional utilities. I would like to see an icon block in the
standalone builder that we could just paste an image into (like
Macs have
for setting an icon). It would be preferable to have it work for all
supported OSs.
