DESCRIPTION
(BeCy)IconGrabber
is a small utility to view icons and cursors of any sizes
that are contained in
EXE,
DLL,
ICL,
OCX,
CPL,
SRC,
ICO
and
CUR
files. The icons/cursors can be saved either individually
as an icon, cursor, bitmap, png file or collectively within
resource libraries.
Features:
- File Formats
-
The application supports reading icons/cursors from Windows
executable files (NE/PE format) as for example
EXE,
DLL
and
ICL
files.
Of course simple icon/cursor files like
ICO
and
CUR
can also
be read. However, the extraction of compressed or animated
resources is not possible.
In addition to those standard Windows formats, the Unix XPM (v3)
format can be imported, too. Individual images can be exported to
ICO,
CUR,
BMP
and
PNG
files.
Multiple symbols can be saved as resource libraries, i.e.
DLL
or
ICL
files.
- Directory View
-
Using this view the system can be browsed for a file in the
usual way, i.e. the contents of the current directory is
displayed in a list from which a file can be selected.
Using this view, one is not required to select files that
really contain icons.
For files without icons (like most document files), the
application can automatically extract the icons from the
associated application executable.
- Search Mode
-
Besides searching on one's own, the application can scan the
system for files which contain icons/cursors. Given a root
directory the application scans this directory for symbols.
Optionally, all sub directories can be scanned, too.
- Favorites
-
Frequently used icon/cursor files can be added to the list
of Favorites.
This way a file can easily be found the next time the
application is run.
- Access to Shell Icons
-
The Favorites always contain an entry which allows viewing
the icons which are currently displayed by the operating
system.
Sometimes the best way to find an icon.
