Bump....

I'd like to know too. I liked being able to take some decent icons, save as png and use as a DTX super icon.

You don't get many answers regarding serious complaints here lately...

Didn't know this thread was here. I'm also having problems saving icons in anything but 16x16 or 32x32.

Check out my screenshot here: Link
Up in the right corner in the parenthesis is 32x32 which is what they are now saving as. How can I change this?

47Songs....I went back to the previous version (1.20.021 build 1066) and it works again.

Beta version 1.29[b].003 is the one I had problems with.

Koasati...what version do you have thats working now?

But I still can't save icons as pngs without having to rename them each time I do or it will overwrite the previous one.

I have been making icons with the following custom sizes (ALL 32 bpp XP only format)

16
24
32
48
64
72
96
128
256

everything's fine except the 256 icons are saved out as 255.

When I import an icon having 256 x 256, it shows as such, but when I save it out, it's 255 x 255.

This breaks Vista's ability to use the icon in "Large Icons" view, which is the whole point of 256 x 256 icons.

Is this a known problem? A feature restriction? Unimplemented? And more importantly, is a fix on the way? IconDeveloper is one of the main reasons I maintain my Object Desktop subscription.

Thanks

I thought I'd posted this already... the version is 1.3.0 build 1102.

My subscription comes up for renewal on May 1, 2007, and I'm trying to decide if I should renew my $34.95 subscription or just pay $20 for "Real World Icon Editor" and stick with the OD apps I have... if Icon Developer has been fixed, I'd probably renew my OD subscription.

I think I got a reasonable amount of value out of OD... but IconDeveloper was probably 50% of it... I use a mixed bag of tools already, and if my regular raster image editor properly supported .ico, I'd just use that... it's just that I have an app going gold in the next month and can't be wrestling with an icon editor that doesn't properly support Vista icons... so unless a Icon Developer fix for 256 x 256 icons is due within days, maybe weeks, I have to buy a license for another Icon editor (my "Real World Icon Editor" trial version still functions, but I can't in good conscience use it for production-quality icons without paying for the license.

...and given that StarDock is big into Vista skinning etc. I can't imagine how Icon Developer hasn't been upgraded already... unless their skinners use other tools to do their work (gasp!)

I'm also willing to concede that I might be doing something wrong, or have an incompatibility: no one has piped in to say "I have version x and I don't have that problem: I design, open, and save 256 square icons no problem!"

So, I assume it is a hard limitation (bug?) in Icon Developer, and no fix is forthcoming, and I'm not the only one in this situation.

So I guess I've answered my own question. Thanks, me!

I'll probably start doing more icon work so I got this back out and tried to use it...what a joke.sad thing is,I cant find anything else that will batch recolor an icon library.  

This is the first time I have seen Stardock not support a paid version of their software.
Not supporting free stuff is understandable...this wasnt free.

Good news!...time frame?  

If you recall, I.R., ID & SKS share code - I'd expect neither will be ready until the other is ready, if you know what I mean.

I'll admit SKS needs a little work but it's far from having to reverse engineer. Also.. it ALWAYS uses .tga or bmp.

IconDeveloper 2.0 is here and it has proper Vista icon support.
