Re: Mac icon specifications
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 and try to load/ save your icon? Does it fix the issue?

Re: Mac icon specifications
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.

Re: Mac icon specifications
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 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 errors, but the icon does not appear on the app after being built. The icns file is included in the bundle, and selecting it in the Finder does show the image correctly. What would cause the icon from not showing on the app bundle itself? Something in the way the icon was created, or is it something in Revolution? We've not had trouble with icons in the past. The artist is using a program called Axialis IconWorkshop to create both Win and Mac icons. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Mac icon specifications
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 like. So I just need someone (hopefully familiar with IconWorkshop) to tell me how to make it work. :-) On Aug 20, 2008, at 8:43 AM, William de Smet wrote: 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.

Re: Mac icon specifications
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 make the icon appear. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering http://economy-x-talk.com http://www.salery.biz http://facebook.economy-x-talk.com Benefit from our inexpensive hosting services.

Re: Mac icon specifications
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 app bundle, but where the icon should be, it's simply blank.

Re: Mac icon specifications
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 put your own icon file there and give it the correct name. Now use one of the methods to touch the application package and you should see the icon. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering http://economy-x-talk.com http://www.salery.biz http://facebook.economy-x-talk.com Benefit from our inexpensive hosting services.

Re: Mac icon specifications
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 of them (or above them if you're using icon view)? Well, my application has no icon. Not sure how much more clear I can be. The icon files are there in the bundle, just as they should be. That's what's so weird about this. And when I look at the preview for my icon file, I do in fact see the image just fine. It just doesn't display in front of the application name. No idea why. Using touch does not make any difference. I've tried logging out and even restarting the computer just to be sure and nothing changes. I still think it's something with the icns file itself.

Re: Mac icon specifications
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 freely available from their developers website. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering http://economy-x-talk.com http://www.salery.biz http://facebook.economy-x-talk.com Benefit from our inexpensive hosting services.

Re: Mac icon specifications
Thanks, Jacque. Good info. I opened the icon in Preview and yes, I see all the images. However, they are not all the same. Some of them don't appear to have a transparency, and one of them is a perfect square where all the rest have rounded corners. So there are some strange things. And when I open the icns file in Icon Composer (looks like a great tool btw) only the 128x128 size and below load into the image wells. There's not 256 or 512 size, even though these display in Preview. So something is definitely goofy with the file. I'll report these findings to the artist and see what he can do. Thanks again.

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.

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 you can do is to check the 'info.plist' file in the bundle - this is where the OS connects the app to the icon. Look for: keyCFBundleTypeIconFile/key This should have a string after it that is the icon file that will be used for the app - make sure this is the same name as the actual icon file in the Resources folder.
