not in response to this issue but I get the feeling that not many people use the Image Library feature of LC. I've imported several sets of icons that are generically useful to me across applications and it seems to work great. I did have an issue that the StackRunner program didn't display images from my stack's Image Library but I'm wondering if there are any other drawbacks to using it.

HC icons are stored as resources in the legacy Mac OS resource fork.

Good news: You can use LiveCode's built-in getResources function to
obtain a list of resources in a file, and use the getResource function
to obtain the actual image data for the icon.

Bad news: I have no idea how to translate that bitmap data into a form
that will work well in a LiveCode image object.

Anyone here know how do to that?

I extracted the HC icons and saved them to a stack quite a while ago. I just uploaded it to RevOnline. Anyone who needs the original HC icons can search there for a stack called "HC Icons".
