What Icon2Gif Is

Icon2Gif does exactly what it sounds like it does: it takes the icons for your application and copies them into GIF files. Useful for preparing websites and the like (see the Icon2Gif product webpages for an example).

No editting capabilities are available. This is strictly conversion, folks.

How To Use Icon2Gif

Using Icon2Gif is simple, as one would expect.

1. Start the Icon2Gif application.
2. From the 'Action' menu, select 'Convert'.
3. Select the application whose icons you wish to copy out as GIFs, using the open-file panel.
4. An alert box will pop up, telling you either the icons were converted or that something happened. Usually, this occurs because the file chosen does not have an icon in attribute or resource.
5. The files for "app" are "appL.gif" for the large icon, and "appM.gif" for the mini icon.

If Icon2Gif could not create the GIFs in the same directory as the chosen file, it will put up a save-file panel to allow you to choose a different directory.
