Icon2PNG 1.1 – OS X native icon conversion
About Icon2PNG
I wrote Icon2PNG as a utility for converting some of my Mac icons to PNG images so I could edit them with a more powerful utility, and also to use them in Linux and put them on websites. I had previously been using Photoshop to save the PNG images, and another icon editor to extract the 32bit icons and alpha channel from the new icns format.
System Requirements
Icon2PNG requires a Power Macintosh with System 8.6 or better and CarbonLib 1.5 or better. It will also run under any version of Mac OS X, 10.0 through 10.4 PPC
Changes
- Fixed a memory leak that would only allow you to convert a few icons unless you gave it several megs of RAM.

A handy little app … and I have one minor suggestion: Please change two strings that contain the application’s version to show just the numeric portion.
These appear in two areas. One is in Finder when you’re in column view and have the Version column enabled. Here, it simply makes it easier to scan down the column and determine the version. View your own computer’s Applications folder in column view, enable the Version column, and you will immediately see what I mean.
The other is in Get Info. Here, adding copyright and such affords no legal benefit, and using just the numeric portion makes it easier for third-party applications that extract those strings to present them to the user more clearly.
Thanks.
That is sooooo interestign, thanks
