- 1. Info
-
- If your like me and hate manipulating your .info files via the CLI and so on
- then this is the util for you!
-
- The program has three ToolTypes these are as follows:
-
- XPOS allows you to set the x position of the AppIcon.×
- YPOS allows you to set the y position of the AppIcon.×
- AUTO allows you to specify a default action for the program, this means
- that it will only perform one type of action on icons dropped on it, this is
- a time saving method i.e. the choice requester will not appear, the action is
- automatic.
-
- Values for this ToolType are as follows NONE, DEFAULT, IMAGE, TOOLTYPE, REMOVE
- and FILETYPE.
-
- When run the program opens an AppIcon, drop your objects on this.
-
- What the Buttons do:
-
- [Default Icon]
- This option creates a default icon for the object, if an icon already exists then
- tooltypes, stack, and so on is copied across to the new icon. Multiple icons can
- be processed at once by using the shift select method.
-
- [Image]
- This option copies the icon image from the first icon you selected to all the
- others, new icons will be created if they do not already exist.
-
- [ToolTypes]
- This option copies the icon tooltypes, tool and stacksize from the first icon
- you selected to all the others, new icons will be created if they do not already
- exist.
-
- [Remove]
- This option removes the icon file associated with the selected objects. Multiple
- icons can be processed at once by using the shift select method.
-
- [File Type]
- WB3.x only.
- This option uses the datatype library to decide what type of file you have passed
- to it, it will then give the file the related icon. If the file is not recognised
- or the file is a system object nothing will be done.
- To use this you will need to create the following icon files and put them with the
- other default icons in Prefs/Env-Archive/Sys/
-
- This function looks firstly for the format def icon i.e.( def_GIF, def_JPEG ) if
- this is not found it will look for the group def icon, which in this case would
- be def_Picture, if this is not found then nothing will be changed.
-
- These are the DataType Groups.
